i learned this from a tv show that i didn't even really watch

it's true that college is nothing more than an extended rat race to see who can cheat the system more effectively than the other. original, true learning is lost in between memorization for fill in the blanks and essay questions and what is it all for? "thinking critically"? how are we taught to think critically? critical of ourselves, of our grades? life lost to the pursuit of an a? drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, engorgement, depression, and cheating?

you want to believe that you're actually learning something, that you're actually getting something from this repeated analysis of formulas and dates and mla format. most importantly, where do they teach us about life here? about what to do after we leave the books that are continuously glued to our noses and who to pursue and who to forget and what happens when it all comes crashing down?

there has to be words that freud in all his insane rambling came up with. there has to be something there.
