I work with a lot of older people. They are always keeps telling me how much I will miss school once I graduate and move into the “real world”. And every time I say, no I won’t! I hate school.
Now, it has occurred to me why people actually keep saying that: its because they miss school! They got to go to college when it was $20/month and got to live in dorms with similar aged peers and have a jolly old time. On the other hand, I am going to college having paid for 90% of tuition out of my own pocket for 9 long years! And I didn’t live in dorms. But I had to deal with (and continue to deal with) crappy teachers, and annoying classmates, and expensive tuition and expensive textbooks that are always required, and grumpy school administrators/janitors/food service workers, sleepless nights, losing hair due to stress, horrible diet (due to lack of time or money), etc.
No I will NEVER miss school. And I love saying never, because no one knows me better than me
