"The difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I couldn't care less "
I love to study, I always have been a bit of a dork. I've always enjoyed doing homework and neatly writing out my notes in 100 different coloured pens. Unfortunately, when you reach college this becomes a different story. Of course I still enjoy learning and believe it to be the only way in which humanity can survive and expand their knowledge on how this world works and why we've been put here (even though I believe we will never know how our planet works... that's the beauty of it). The problem is that in college (in particular) they make you feel like if you don't get perfect grades NOW then you're doomed to work in a low paid, low expectation job for the rest of your life when actually, to succeed in life you need more than some letters and numbers on a piece of paper. They are ready to bring you down telling you you're already a failure and that you won't go anywhere in life. Rather depressing I would say... But really, you make your future. Fate, destine and all that stuff plays a role in this big film called life, but the main character is you. I'd like to add that we're 16-17 so we're not sure of anything. We're not sure what colour vans to get, let alone what area of law we want to go into! This is the time to think things through, to change your mind and to make mistakes.. not the time to make lifechanging, important decisions. Let's leave that to when we're ready, right?
