Bad :( stuff: Struggled with a severe eating disorder my senior year of high school and received some bad grades in college credit classes. This continued into the beginning of my freshman year and I withdrew 4 weeks into the semester to seek treatment. I also received a stay of commitment from the county basically forcing me to get serious about treatment in the middle of all of this. I luckily got this sealed on my record after it expired. Restarted college the next year after I recovered.
