I was playing in the band, we were on the verge of getting a record deal, and I was working for a record label. I was really kind of immersed in the world that I wanted to be immersed in, and school was something I was doing to appease my parents, to be perfectly honest. It’s amazing being in the position that I’m in now, to be able to come back and have...
