Trippin on Knowlage

       Sammy's plans were to go to community college for two years to get his associates in business and then transfer over to C.U. to get his bachelors degree in business also. Being a smart kid all throughout grade school he knew that college would be achievable, challenging, but achievable. So he began at the age of 17, not even out of high school yet he had the greatest ambition to become the smartest person to come out of his household. His father was a piece of work but was always there for him and his mother was not much better. Being a only child he didn't really have a role model growing up. Ever since he was around 7 or 8 he always knew his rights from wrongs. Seeing your parents fight and watching them take turns going to jail can teach a kid a thing or two. When January came around it was time for him to begin his first courses. It didn't take long for him to get the hang of things and even make a few friends in the process. The math was the easiest for him, being that they put him in 050. Picture a borderline genius in a average level class. The puzzle pieces just don't fit. He was going to go into the advising office and change his courses but then he figured, screw it, I'll just coast my first semester. So he began, easy work, well at least to him it was. It didn't take too long before he meet a guy who called himself Juggs. Even his professor called this guy Juggs for some reason. One day Sammy finished a math test about a half hour early and Juggs noticed this. Sammy got up and walked out of class much earlier than everyone else like it was nothing. Sammy was just pulling out of the parking lot when he was cut off and stopped but this man. After talking to him for about five to ten minutes he found out why they call him what they call him. No matter what at any time this man would have at least one milk jug full of LSD (also know as Acid) on him at a time. He gave Sammy the sales pitch, but he wasn't trying to sell him anything. No, he was offering a trade, Sammy would do all of his school work and he would get whatever high he wanted. First thought Sammy said to himself "fuck no, I've got plans." But Juggs made only one point Sammy really cared for, and that was YOLO ( you only live once). He thought about his life and how boring it has been. Not knowing true fun, or even pleasure for that matter. so he told him, ''alright, but only if you show me some good times too." They both just smiled and the deal was done. After trying many different types of drugs he decided that he enjoyed the coke the most. Why? Because he could do it everyday and still function. He was under the impression that he was having the time of his life and things were great for him until the semester ended. He was hooked and he knew it, Juggs knew it, and even his parents knew it. Too bad for Sammy, dropping out of school wasn't the worst part. The worst part was knowing what he could have been and having to think about it.
