This might be an interesting way to start this letter, but thank you, not for the education, but for of the environment, because it really showed me my strength. Every time I thought you couldn’t get worse, you proved me wrong. College is never easy, and going through this made me question a lot of things, but you never ceased to amaze me.

I thought Community College was bad, but it was like a dream compared to your campus life. Not only were your staff rude and disrespectful, but so were all the students surrounding me- I felt like an alien. No one cared about helping me, and even more so, no one cared if I succeeded or failed. I lived on campus for 8 weeks, and I couldn’t tell you what one person on my floor looked like or, hell, even their name. I tried my best to get involved, because that’s what you’re supposed to do, but I reached out to no avail. Or the best part of this story, calling me ON MY BIRTHDAY, to tell me who I was wasn’t enough for and to “try again in few months.”

All the middle fingers in the world aren’t enough to express my feelings for you. You tried to squash me at every single turn, but guess what? You failed, but kudos for trying.

Even thinking about the painful experiences you’ve caused is incredibly hard, but I’m thankful. I’m thankful I believed in myself. I’m thankful for my family & friends that supported me though the awful experience. And most importantly, I’m thankful I found my own strength. I am stronger than I ever imagined, and braver than I ever believed.

I’d wish you the best, but you already had it.

Thank you for the worst 18 weeks of my life, and for now,

I say good bye, good riddance, and a big f*** you.
