A Different Education
So I started off in school, just like everyone else. I had lessons I thrived in as well as the lessons I couldn’t stand for all sorts of different reasons. I couldn’t be bothered, I didn’t like my teachers, I didn’t see the point in attending just because it wouldn’t get me where I wanted to go.

So buckle up, because your childhood assumptions are about to be blown out of the water.

To the audience, they’re entirely poised and prepared to take on the world. In reality, they’ve had ten mental breakdowns, slammed out a 30-page thesis paper, and shotgunned two cases of beer (or bottles of wine)… all within the last seven days. And that’s not even the half of what we students endure throughout our whole senior year.
