I know this isn't too relevant, but as somebody who is going to be in Qatar near Doha for a year. What things do you recommend doing/good restaurants to go to?

Sorry for brick wall of text was not intended and got carried away lol

I feel like i should tell you my story because I can relate to the college, addicted to league, and troubled parents. Going to have to excuse me because I'm really bad at writing.

I too eventually dropped out of college because my grades werent up to par/wrong priorities. I learned about LoL in college and got hooked. Anyways after going though a year of college and failing a few class's my parents decided to take me out and try to cut me off from everything. While i admit it wasnt as drastic as sending me to some other country in a boot camp. It still got pretty bad. I feel like to them a i was just a weird nerd with an obsession. They didn't take into account at all about what i had wanted to do with my life only that i had to get a degree blah blah. eventually i couldn't take it and had to leave.

Through a friend i got a job as a busser in a decent restaurant, making just enough only just make it on my own after he took me in. and that went ok for the first few months i was just happy to be making it on my own. I still had a passion for gaming, i would literally just work and game on my time off,(with a really crappy laptop) =).

After a while I saw an old friend who seemed like he was doing great in life and i felt like I'm not doing enough to better myself. By this time i started to get really tired of my job and crappy quality of lifestyle(not being able to afford most things i wanted). After a conversation i learned he all about his life in the Air Force and made it seem like a really good deal. So eventually I manned up and went to a recruiter's office and did some talking. I was really skeptical at first but after a few weeks i got convinced and now I've had an IT job in the military for over a year. I love it and i still get to game (on a way better system) in the evenings. Now i can say I'm making it on my own, taking classes, and i feel like im doing alright. oh and i just turned 21 and had started college in 2010 as well =).

So my question to you is : do you feel like the whole kidnapping/forced in boot camp thing was necessary to keep you on the right track to reach your goals or was it really more selfish on your parents part?

Asking because for me, i chose the latter and have no regrets. Keep in mind that i still have respect for my parents and talk to them regularly now. We just don't see eye to eye on most things :P and have different perspectives.
