I was reading a post by Rteacher and felt inspired to ask this question.

He dropped out of the U of Mass because he'd lost faith in the State of Massachussetts.

I dropped out of the U of Northern Colorado because Janis Joplin died and therefore, art was dead.

Who else had a good bad reason for dropping out?

I didn't finish my PhD dissertation (the big D) due to a protracted bad divorce (the other Big D).

Que Sera. . .

I dropped out of high school in the UK because I disliked the whole snotty ptentiousness of the A-level people. Back in Zimbabwe, I dropped out again because I didn't like my school. Finally I finished it up at another school.

I loved my uni, so getting my degree was no problem. I was scheduled for an MA but gave up on it because I wanted to travel....
But now I'm aiming at doing a postgrad once again..

Re Janis Joplin's death: I suspect it was really the result of a conspiracy directly involving "Big Brother" - aided and abetted by members of the "Holding Company"... (They were probably pissed at being replaced by the "Full-Tilt Boogy Band"...)

My paranoid mindset was "set in stone" when I was "busted" the very first time I "scored" a "nickel bag" of "grass". Not only was I charged with possession, but - because a fellow classmate had panicked when grilled by the "pigs" and tabbed me as the "pusher" - I was an officially accused "drug dealer". I dreaded having to notify my parents - I began the call to them with "This will probably sever our relationship, but ..."

Behind bars, I grew increasingly angry as I reflected on government policies such as the napalming of countryside villages - I had just seen an on-campus (anti-war coalition sponsored) screening of film footage that highlighted (in vivid color) horribly disfigured Vietnamese women and children huddled together...

I was sure that "The Man" was targeting "pot users" (like I aspired to be) only because we actively "headed-up" opposition to the evil war machine responsible for atrocities. In an extended moment of rage, I rattled the bars of my cell - Just then, my parents appeared to bail me out... Seeing me for the first time with a full beard - and caged like a wild animal - my mother exclaimed in disbelief, "My son!?" and slowly feinted to the floor... (Reality was somehow taking a nightmarish turn.) That precipitated my very first "drop-out" (There would be a couple more to follow...)
