So I’m about 65% moved into my new apartment at this point.

I still need to put together my bed frame, drafting table, and bookshelves, organize books into said shelves, and decorate. But considering that I had a stomach virus all day yesterday (move-in day), I’m satisfied with my progress.

Art History was cancelled!

I get to hang out at home until 2, all snug in my bed. Huzzah!

So I missed a lab on Tuesday because it was the first class of the semester, meaning it’s just going to be procedural stuff, so lolfuckthat. Anyway, I got an email from school saying that I’m already in danger of violating the attendance policy.

Seriously?

idk everyone learns different a different way, and at a different speed.

 i got pretty good grades, haha besides Chemistry my senior year. 

School’s a piece of cake if you just do your homework and regurgitate whatever you’re told. What do you do when you see through the bullshit, and realize your efforts are wasted and you learn nothing? The kids in the top 10% were not necessarily the smartest kids in school, and some of the brightest people were stuck in regular or remedial classes. Why? The kids with great grades did what the grown-ups told them to do, and the others were bored and saw how fucked up the system was.

College is no fucking better. You’re told your whole life that college will be this magical place where your classes are so challenging and your professors will give you meaningful work and what you learn will be important for the rest of your life. And then you get there, and it’s the same thing: you’re assigned busy work, taught useless skills that have nothing to do with the real world. You’re told that you have to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life, and then stick with that. What do you do when you have no idea what you want to do, and you want to explore? What the fuck do you do when you want to actually learn?

I’ve talked to adults who still don’t know what they want to do when they “grow up”. They major in one thing and end up doing something completely different. I can’t tell you how many people I know who admit that college did not prepare them at all for their profession. So what’s the fucking point? Why do we waste so much time, effort, and money on it?

School isn’t hard because the material is difficult: school is hard because the expectations and competition are fierce, and you get to the end of it, and it was all for naught. When you realize that, it’s absolutely soul-crushing.
