my high school life was so traumatizing. i failed some subjects and barely passed most out of pity from my teachers. then again, i studied in a science high school. you'd imagine a bunch of nerds laughing at star wars jokes, but no. majority of our population wears braces, glasses or both, but most of them are overachieving and highly sociable superhumans, and because of that the teachers and professors raised the bar so high it's horrifying and hospitalization because of stress and pressure is a common event. imagine oral defenses, and corporate board room-ish presentations coupled with laboratory exercises(there were 2 years we were required to take physics, biology and chemistry all at the same year everyday!) and individual scientific research on a daily basis. what's worse is i live in the school and sleep 4 hours most nights and no sleep at all during exam season. absolutely no room left for the rest of your life. the only fun we have is when we make fun and humiliate lazy, crappy and incompetent teachers.

thank God, that was overrr. *cries of happiness*

i went to university and took physics. finally got sick of all the studying and ditched all my classes. now, i'm a bum and my parents are threatening to throw me out.

Pretty much the same for me. I graduated high school with honours and even received a scholarship. Everything went downhill when I moved away and started uni.

me, too! i got a whole bunch of scholarships(but no honours lol). and i was really lucky because i always landed the nicest professors(they'd buy you ice cream or coffee if you ask them to lol), but i still failed because i hate groupwork and talking to my classmates. :no
