education

Since coming to Santa Cruz, I've realized that my high school counselors weren't feeding me bullshit the ENTIRE time-- an education is not just a piece of paper signifying that you're certified to work in grown-up-job-land, it's something that in general increases your ability to function in life. It helps you look at things critically and gives you the tools to educate yourself once your formal education is done. I want my education so that I can go through life understanding the world around me, instead of just going through the motions until I die.
