I agree with you, and it isn't something I have done in the past. But there's the thing: For me, this is my second attempt at nursing school. The first time, exactly ten years ago, I failed out because I was more interested in partying with my friends than studying, and because I had just broken up with my fiance. My close friends and family know this, and even some of my classmates. What my classmates don't know is that, immediately after failing out of nursing school, I overdosed and was admitted into the hospital, thus beginning my mental health battle. So it wasn't arrogance which prompted me to post it, but rather a sense of accomplishment and "rising above."

At the same time, I have a few other friends who are adult students who post their grades. I think we're all just in awe of the fact that we've still "got it," haha.
