My High School experience is paradoxical because sometimes I'm learning materials without actually learning. For example, I learn all these types of graphs in Math like hyperbolas, circles, and eclipses. If I were to be tested right now on those topics, I would fail because I haven't really "learned" it. I would need some reviews on those topics to bring back what I thought I had learned. Another paradox of my High School experience is that I'm trying to get into a good college without knowing why. I sometimes wonder whether it's actually worth it to pay $43,000 a year just go to a college because of its reputation. I understand that employers would consider your salary based on your education and they will look at where you went to college, but can that be the only reason I'm aiming for a top-notch college?
I measure out my life with important dates. Things such as test dates, project dates, and soccer game dates fall in this category. Somethings I look forward to, somethings I don't. But I consider these dates as stages of my life. Once it's over, it's over. A whole new stage comes up after a stage is done. Sometimes, I will have multiple stages and that's when I get stressful. It's sort of like the biorhythm chart where you have your best days and worst days.

School is so impractical these days. It's like it teaches you to be a writer, engineer, artist, historian, methematician, teacher, and a scientist all at once. I'm sure half the people that graduate won't care about the equation for a hyperbola or the like when they go to college or work.
