i was talking with a friend still in college the other day and he mentioned topics where i was like - yeah i remember learning about that but i barely know anything about it. unless you study or reminder yourself about this stuff every so often you will completely forget it. like why did i spend 16 years in the classroom destined to forget most of it??? u think there’d be a better way for ppl to figure out what theyd like and need to know early on and teach them that

a lot of :
- "shit, i miscalculated what courses i needed to take this semester so i'm not going to meet all of my requirements to graduate on time"
- showing up to class one day and having to take an exam i didn't know about
- missing an exam
- failing an assignment that represented a large portion of my grade and trying to figure out if i can still somehow pass the class
occasionally they skew social; finding myself back in high school and sharing space with people i haven't seen in many years but understanding them through the lens i understand them now, but still being stuck in the social dynamic i had with them then

i was far too busy getting completely obliterated to do so in my early 20s. (do not recommend.)
but the experience of doing schoolwork now feels like it did as a little kid. you know.. before puberty knocked me awake to the reality of my shitty home life, which caused a haze of depression to fall over me.
in my single digit years i remember being so excited to do school work, and feeling so proud of myself when i did well. im getting a taste of that again.
i never lost the exhilarating feeling i got from gaining knowledge that truly excites me. but it’s a beautiful new kinda thing with the added clarity gained from not being ripped on weed 24/7 and the added confidence gained from surviving the shit hand that was given to me as a kid.
hang in there 🕊️

I hated college when I was there but I miss it so much everyday. I miss smiling at people in the hallway and doing homework. I think it’s good to reflect and appreciate things, even if you didn’t appreciate it in the moment. Having something to yearn about will push you to greater places.

its crazy to me we are now at a point where major companies are actively putting measures into their products to make them hard or impossible to fix on your own. if you take it anywhere else to get it fixed your warranty is now voided. i just paid like $1000 for this phone. do i even really own it if nobody but the company i bought it from can fix it?
better yet you bring it to them and they will essentially do nothing but quote you for overpriced parts you don’t need or more likely just tell you to buy a new phone. thanks apple!!!
