really?

lol, i found highschool way fucking harder than university.

i spent like 10x more time on studying and homework in HS than i ever did in university.

after i got used to the system, i barely showed up for class, and wrote 12 page research essays in 1.5 nights. university was WAY easier than high school (mind you i was arts lol!)

high school was a nightmare. forced to be there from morning till night. stupid projects. subjects that i really sucked at. hours of being tutored from friends and professionals just so i could understand and pass a single test.

university was like revscene to me. all i had to do was argue and find some quotes to back it up. just type a buncha bullshit and hand it in, as long as u followed the guidelines you passed lol!

ratemyprofessors was cheatmode man
people from previous years hand me down assignments and projects.
there were so many ways around the system in university.
sweet talking profs explaining your views etc etc

i found high school to be very rigorous in terms of lifestyle.
its not just work. its like a lock down on your life. like prison.

i can TOTALLY see why some people don't wanna do it.

where as university, you just have to know the system and work it (from an arts perspective).
