Well why don't you go to the college of your dreams now? Or does it only work when other people work and pay for it?

I have no academic basis to apply to a top school, and to be honest the more annoying part is that I missed out on 4 years of the college experience that I got to watch my friends have from the sidelines.

I don’t understand your point about who pays for it, sorry.

> have no academic basis to apply to a top school

Then what exactly are you complaining about? You clearly didn't deserve that college experience.

Because you just said you didn't.

I guess maybe I wasn’t clear, my point was that if I had been given the chance to succeed academically from an early age, given my condition, my life could have been significantly different.

Or do you not believe ADHD is a real thing?
