A sunbeam in a winter’s day,
Is all the proud and mighty have,
Between the cradle and the grave.

I have come to the conclusion that if you want to waste your life studying, so you can move onto university and do more studying and then get a job where you work another 12 hours, then all the power to you. However to me, I have absolutely no passion to do so and think that life should be lived to the fullest and if your opinion studying one and a half days a week is to the fullest, then that�??�??�?�¢??s up to you.
that sounds to me like the words of someone who is looking for a way to justify not educating themselves.
“live life to the fullest”
like what? travel the world? that gets old, living out of backpacks gets old. knowledge is a big part of life. if you like what you study, then your are definatly not wasting away your life. Dont catagorize everyone into the same catagory as the people who ONLY went to college to get a job. some people choose what they enjoy learning, thats it.
Deliver your opinions with more respect.
Well to me school requires you to become a drone and submit.
