Graduate first. You've earned it by doing the college work. Besides it can prove to yourself that you were just as worthy as that validictorian. It'd be neat and motivating to see if you were just as capable. You can confess after that if you feel guilty but, at least see. I mean you cant judge all intelligence based off how someone does as a child, a minor haha. Some of us bloom late. The fact that youre passing is impressive. Its also like a psychological experiment. You graduating proves that perhaps our current vetting system cannbe improved.
A few years ago, I moved into a new apartment and found an old, dusty notebook hidden under a loose floorboard. Inside were letters written by the previous tenant, addressed to a lover who had disappeared mysteriously. I became obsessed with their story, spending hours piecing together their lives from the letters.One night, while reading, I felt a presence in the room. The air grew cold, and I saw a shadow move out of the corner of my eye. Ever since, strange things have been happening-flickering lights, whispers in the dark, and that cold presence always lurking. I think I disturbed something I shouldn’t have. I don’t know what to do, but I had to tell someone.
All the time when I was a kid. When I was 10 I put on my Wellington boots, it's very warm outside. Sun blazingly warm. I argue with my mum, something I never did but I knew I NEEDED to wear them. No sooner was I outside with my sister and her friend than 2 dogs attack us biting our ankles but couldn't bite me cos of my wellies. Another time I woke my parents at 2 in the morning and told my dad he needed to go to my aunt Isza''s got a few smacks and sent back to bed. Next morning at breakfast pounding on the door and it's my 10 year old cousin. He couldn't wake his mum. She had took pills the night before. I never gave my family warnings again.

I once accidentally attended the wrong wedding. I was traveling for work and had a weekend off in a small town. I saw a wedding ceremony in a beautiful garden and decided to sneak in, thinking it would be a fun way to spend the afternoon. I mingled with guests, enjoyed the food, and even danced a bit. Everything seemed perfect until I congratulated the bride and groom and realized I didn't recognize anyone. Mortified, I made a hasty exit, only to bump into another wedding party in the adjacent garden. It turned out my company's CEO was attending that wedding. He spotted me and invited me to join his group. I ended up having a great time and got to know my boss better, but I never told anyone about my earlier mix-up. It was the strangest and most embarrassing, yet surprisingly fortunate, mistake I've ever made.
I once accidentally sent a love letter to my entire office instead of just my crush. I’d been secretly pining for a coworker, so I drafted a heartfelt message expressing my feelings and mistakenly selected “Reply All” instead of “Send.” The next morning, my inbox exploded with replies. At first, I thought it was a prank, but then I realized everyone in the office had read my confession. To my surprise, the awkwardness turned into camaraderie. My crush approached me, laughing, and said she appreciated my honesty. We went out for coffee, and it turned into a great friendship. Although it was mortifying at the time, the incident taught me that vulnerability can lead to unexpected connections. And, as an added bonus, I gained a reputation for being the most transparent person in the office.
In 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey into outer space. Born to a humble family in rural Russia, Gagarin's dream of flight propelled him into the Soviet Air Force. Selected for the Vostok 1 mission, he orbited Earth on April 12, 1961, for 108 minutes. His safe return made him an international hero and symbol of Soviet space triumph. Gagarin's journey not only marked a significant milestone in the Space Race but also inspired generations worldwide to look to the stars and dream of the vast possibilities beyond our planet.
Building way to do things wrong is actually also what can make life interesting IF you are talking about harmless user interface, not the coffee machine that leaks brewed coffee back into the clean water whenever you put it together wrong... but harmless fun? Heck people make games out of it, gamify life. Unfortunately when I do things wrong and detect it and fix it, nobody learns anything, but when I do something wrong and leave it to someone else to fix, I'm the criminal, who forgot to fix it and cover up the event. So in this I think being a f*up is actually a way to be a social thing and create the worst type of social interactions possible. The alternative is to be anti-social skeptic, constantly rendering life a non event. A good maintainer knows things will fail and replaces them. But this is like machine thinking, life or society has to be more tolerant of failure no? Rumination over past events, that are known to be past, kills, but meanwhile the present is an ongoing event of crisis nightmare interoperability... and we're all daffy for solutions right? This reminds me of the last attempt to build world earth, that failed miserably, where we had total godlike power, and things still went wrong...
