It wasn't the best use of my time.

[ Kate doesn't hesitate, no shame and the sense she's had some time already to sort out the best way to explain this. ]

I realized that I already knew what I wanted to do with my life and it wasn't something college could help me with, so it was a waste to spend all those hours sitting in lectures instead of getting on with it. I can always get a degree later if I need one for some reason. Or could've if I hadn't been unplugged.
