I grew up in a very small, close-knit, Southern Baptist family, where everything was off-limits. So I couldn't wait to get to college and have some fun. And I did for the first two years. And I regret a lot of it, because my grades were in terrible shape. I never got in serious trouble, except for my grades. ↗

I even went so far as to become a Southern Baptist for a while, until I realized that they didn't hold 'em under long enough. ↗
