School might be over, but your education never stops.
When I graduated highschool, we didn’t have the resources we have today. You can freely learn a language anytime you want. Find out interesting maths they didn’t teach you in school, details about the world you live in you might not know (architecture, history, of just why things are one way in one nation vs another).
There are so many fantastic YouTube channels. Here’s a list of channel I’ve subscribed to that I think are with it. There a few programming ones in there too. And this doesn’t even cover the channels that showed me how to repair my AC unit, or how to repair my washing machine.
If this lost is to long, than 3 channels I recommend highest is Tom Scott, SmarterEveryDay, and Steve Mould.
I’ll add ‘Connections’ an old BBC series covering the history of technology. The creator shows how one change in one place can affect the world. For instance, Napoleon’s armies needed to be fed on the march and eventually we got modern food processing.
We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.
He’s joking bc senioritis usually refers to when people lose the will to work as hard (usually because they’ve already been accepted by either a job or a college). I assume the other part was about how southerners pussyfoot around the civil war instead of calling it what it is. I really don’t know where the vitriol came from tho.
“Senioritis” usually describes people who have checked out because they have a short amount of time left and have already received college admissions, so their grades don’t matter much.
I was soooo happy to finish with high school. Maybe it’s because I knew that I was about to leave home and become independent, but I hated the grind of high school. Going to school everyday for 8 hours then having homework seems unhelpful and even counterintuitive.
The military was worse in regards to the amount of work and grind, but I learned lots of valuable skills and actually made practical contributions rather than what I saw was busy work with no real product. It also made me value proper education since I saw the benefits of being able to contribute to a team using my capacities and training.
Once I got to college, I was able to focus on the subjects that I naturally enjoyed. The class schedule in college was also less consuming and I had some control over it since I was able to select which classes to register for.
There were some things I did miss from high school. One, we were all innocent and had few legitimate concerns when it came to surviving. I didn’t have to worry about getting fired or paying rent. My concerns were adolescent social issues mostly. Two, all my peers were from the same area and we grew up there, so we understood each other in a way that I never found elsewhere. Three, we were all put together, so it was like a community where you were forced to interact with all sorts of capacities but were treated as equals. This also happened in the military, but after that, my social opportunities were limited to my exposure to others based on my career and income. There has been much less diversity and more inequality based on power and financial situations.
the protagonist will then use this incident to prove that public transportation is dangerous and proceed to bribe the local government into replacing it with a highway.
