| I remain frustrated with the type of schooling the university level evolved into.
I feel as though crammed into a box along with everyone else, taught to mold into the minds of conformists, in order to diminish one's own creative sense of self, and instead, turn into law-biting citizens who think nothing different of the matter.
It breaks me every single time I complete an assignment, every time my passion for writing and reading and thinking gets the back seat in order to follow guidelines, prompts, and rubrics.
I wish school remained something ideal, something intended, to promote learning, discovering, and thought.
Instead, the opposite comes out, in order to "get the A" and a piece of paper.
Why are things so impersonal?
Why do people care about grades, credit, what do these numbers mean?
Am I the only one that lacks understanding in this matter? Is my inability to grasp the actual importance of numbers and letters instead of actually retaining knowledge far-fetched and irrational?
I want to quit school, live in the middle of nowhere, and write.
Isolation scares me, of course, but conformity torments and plagues my mind on an even larger scale.
I choose seclusion and thought over mindlessness and destructive learning.

I wish to write more, but I rather not, not on here.
Instead, I decided to start my projects.
I feel scared, but reflecting itself in a more positive, driving manner.

| I visited the eye doctor for a check-up. My eyesight went from -6.75 to -7.5, surprisingly enough. The question posed by the doctor, you ask? "Do you read often?" my answer, "yes". Apparently, due to my excitement for literature, my eyesight took a bit of a toll.
I find this quite unfair. Luckily, I plan to continue to read, and just eat more orange fruits and vegetables, along with continuing to implement vitamins into my daily routine.
