I’m really glad I dropped out of college before COVID. I tried online learning my sophomore year in high school, and that was one of the worst academic years of my life. Second only to my second year in college.

As a lifelong Wyomingite, I’ve learned that the philosophy of Wyoming is “Leave me alone and let me do what I’m gonna do for myself.” I can only hope this philosophy remains here going forward. I don’t really want to leave Wyoming altogether at this point in my life, even as a trans/nonbinary man.
