Why You Shouldn't Worry About School

School doesn't define your future... only you do.

Why You Shouldn't Worry About School
Blue Diamond

School. The bane of teenagers existence as they wake up sleepy-eyed with dark half-moons under their eyes, grudgingly making their way toward a bus stop that is too far as their phones signal that it is only 6 in the morning.

However, the bright side of all the tiredness is that they have that one project done and tucked away safely in their binders. But, this article is not based on why you should stress in school and do your best. This article is why you shouldn't and get those five more minutes of sleep snuggled in your covers, warmth embracing you.

1. A College Will Accept You.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College

College isn't even THAT competitive. There is thousands upon thousands of colleges and universities in America, because of this, some colleges end up being as hard to get into as others. Chances are you will probably end up in one. Can you see yourself being happy in a college with a high school career that was stress-free? Sure, your grades weren't stellar. And you might not have had that many leadership positions. Yet, there you are. Defining your future. I am sure your classmates, those who worried endlessly about their grades and that tiniest decrease in them, will resent you.

2. You Don't Have To Go To College

This is the 21st century and technology usage has skyrocketed, meaning that jobs relating to this have been created or increased. Take YouTube, and its many content creators (known as YouTubers) that earn a lot of money for simply posting silly or funny videos, only lasting a couple of minutes. If they can, you can too. Take the user nigahiga (Ryan Higa) and TheOdd1sOut (James Rallison), both college dropouts and doing just fineeeeee. Aside from this, you can become a famous movie star with college education like Brad Pitt or Jim Carrey. Maybe even be an international singer like Lady Gaga and John Mayer. OR you can be a famous writer like F. Scott Fitzgerald or even become one of the world's best designers, like Coco Chanel. There are endless possibilities! You just have to pick one and stick to it, much like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates did.

3. Gold-Digger

Success is relative. Some people define it by independence. Or self-happiness. Others define by wealth. If you define it by the amount of zeroes that are present in your bank account, then you might as well marry to the wealthy. Use your charm and flirtatious skills to earn one of those people in the top one percent or if you aim is a little smaller, a neurosurgeon. Or marry a senior citizen just sitting in a pile of gold. Besides, if someone criticizes you, wipe your tears with money. It's ok! Get over it and keep strutting in your designer shoes.

Yes, people. Success can be achievable based on what you define it. If that is going to Harvard or going to community college, it is up to you. What really matters, however, is your happiness. And, I know for a fact, that stress is not happiness. So, if your thing isn't being unhappy and permanently anxious, remember that you shouldn't worry about what colleges are going to accept you or how you are going to pay your bills because, after all, there are endless solutions to those problem. And, always remember that school doesn't matter.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
