If you drop out, you might regret it for the rest of your life.
And if you don’t, you might still regret it for the rest of your life. Sometimes, well aware of your choice and sometimes ignorant of what life could have been if you had dropped out.
But then life is not perfect. And that’s the beauty of it.
