I've been aiming to get to college for my entire life, but now that I'm here, I feel that I have been missing out on so much more; Yet, all I have ever known is school, hard work and pointless assignments -in the great scheme of things, isn't it all just meaningless? I feel like I'm wasting my life, yet if I did decide to do something such as drop out, isn't that even more of a waste? I can't seem to break away from this obsession with school and climbing up this invisible ladder. What is your advice?
