Rebecca Hall left studies to take charge of her life

"Iron Man 3" star Rebecca Hall had dropped out of university as she wanted to take charge of her life.
The 30-year-old actress was reading English literature at Cambridge University but dropped out in final year, reported Contactmusic.
"I had reached a juncture where I thought everything I had wanted to do at university had been done - make great friends and do a lot of theatre and work out what kind of grown-up I wanted to be - and I'd got to that point.
"Basically I thought, if I can make a choice like this which bucks the trend, and is different and now, I know that I'll be able to do it for the rest of my life. I'll feel proud of myself taking a different road," said Hall.

The actress is today proud of her choices and believes they gave her a sense of purpose in life.
"And if I don't make the choice then I'll be on that trajectory of, 'oh, I got a degree from Cambridge, so here's my shorthand for being an intelligent person'. I wanted to do something that would make me feel stronger about making decisions that felt true and authentic and bold," she added.
