The problem with
school isn't the students or anything like that.
The problem with school is that they expect everyone to
excel in everything. That's just stupid. People are
amazing at certain things and horrible at other ones.
Honestly, it's like:
"Oh, you're not good in math? Well, who cares about
how good you are in art! You need to be amazing at math!
Don't you realize how stupid you are? Who cares that you can
play 24 instruments? You aren't good at this one
thing, therefore, you're stupid! You won't get far in
life!"
It can even be the other way around!
You could be the top of your class in math, but (oh no!)
you're just barely passing in History! Obviously you are a
very unintelligent creature and need to be punished harshly for
this horrific crime!
No. You don't need to know everything. Stop
stressing people out who are already having a really hard
f.ucking time just getting through
life.
Smart Girl: That awesome feeling when you finished your all your work and could enjoy the rest of the day.
Me: I never experienced that.
