for those who do not love their education deeply
- you are not 'spoilt'
- you are not 'wasting' anything or anyone's time
- the educational system is awful & you have every right to speak out against it
- a teacher must teach you, but they must also entertain and encourage you. if they do not, that is out of your control
- most dark academics are making the best of a bad situation
- your mental health matters more than grades
- not every subject will thrill & excite you. not enjoying literature, poetry or art doesn't make you a 'fake' academic
- you can enjoy a subject without studying it & you have every right to say you enjoy it
- barely passing or failing a course is not the end of the world. you will get better, whether that means continuing the course or dropping it for your true passion
- sometimes you're not good at something, even if you love it. don't sacrifice your mental & physical health to pass a course that you find impossible, but let yourself enjoy it if you can
- remember your worth is not in your grades.
