Worst part is is still dream about it. Hate it so much. When will this ghost leave!?
Way into my thirties, I'm still dreaming about school many nights.
I hate it. I asked a senior once, he's like yeah still happening. I'm like f^$#@! The trauma never ends.
For me it's less often, but otherwise same.
Lol sad
traumatizing people as kids to be productive members of the capitalist system
I'm in my 40s and I still regularly have dreams that I somehow didn't really graduate high school.
In my fifties and still have that dream, but it's worse.
I went to boarding school, so my dreams involve fifty something year old me having to go back to live in the dorm with a bunch of kids.
"oh fuck theres that class ive been avoiding all semester and totally forgot about and now I need to turn in my paper and take my final but I can't find my car!"
The fact that this is universal trauma truly shows how unnatural we approach education. We need a better way.
Right, I graduated college 10 years ago, oh god its been 10 years
