    Me this year. I had reasons to get good grades the first semester of uni; now I don’t. I am not really losing out on much.

      What I realise is that schools essentially teach you to become corporate worker drones. The home work and struggling to keep up the performance are actually analogs to working life as an adult. Schools also teach you early in life what burn out is by pushing you.

      In some ways, I’m glad I went to a school that fosters critical thinking and promoting our individuality. My school is kind of looked down upon for not having many pupils going to college. But in hindsight, it is a liberal arts-lite college by encouraging us to be more well-rounded invididuals.

        Well, stuff like math and science are CERTAINLY something you need to know, even in every day life.

        Especially grammar. No one will take you seriously if you write like a zombie from PvZ.

          Until your net worth has enough commas in it… I’ve seen 12-year-olds on COD with better language skills than some C-suites
