As of today, I have to write a paper about the inclusion of trauma in literature, solve about a dozen pre-calculus problems, read an 11 page article about bioluminescence and write a synopsis, study for an Accounting test, compose a list of things in subjunctive for French, and create a graphic organizer that displays the effects of socialism in the independence revolutions of Southeast Asian Countries.
And try to get some sleep. Somehow.
It bugs me when people say "Why are we doing this? We're never gonna use this in real life." So sure, if you're gonna be a barista at Starbucks, you might not actually use these things. But if you're gonna be an architect, you're gonna use trignometry. If you're gonna be a doctor, trust me, you'll need your bio stuff. And that's just the literal stuff. What about application? Learning how to problem solve. Learning how to write. Getting comfortable with a different language. These are all skills that intelligent, hard working people use in their day to day lives.
School does have some use after all huh?
