The Captive Mind

Is an education really worth it? I want to spend my life traveling, loving and experiencing. 

But, oh, wait. That’s not accepted today, is it?

Oh, fuck off. Some of my greatest experiences came from college, I learned a lot about myself and about people, and I took some fun and challenging courses that pushed me out of my comfort zone. College was a vehicle for me to be able to travel, love and experience (while in college and now after college). If you’re not glad you went to college, you didn’t do it right. Don’t blame society if you don’t know how to have a good time and make the most of your own life. If college isn’t for you, then don’t do it - but don’t hate on the people who actually do get something out of it.

Are you serious right now, Tyler? This person is talking about society’s expectation for a person to go to college, not making fun of people that do. Not everyone wants to go to college right away, and a lot of people don’t have a choice. Stop acting like this is a fucking personal attack on you. Holy fuck you’re annoying.
