I’ve come to the realization that I don’t really need to go to school. Everything from notes to projects and tests is available online. So, what’s the point of actually going? I mean, I understand the social aspect and seeing my friends, but I catch up with them every weekend anyway.

I totally get where you’re coming from! With everything available online, it can feel like school is optional, especially if you’re already doing well with the material. However, there are definitely some benefits to physically being in school that go beyond just academics.

Also, school provides a routine and structure that can be really beneficial for staying motivated and focused. And let’s not forget about extracurricular activities and events that can be a lot of fun and help you make lasting memories.
So, while it might seem tempting to skip out on school, it’s worth considering the value of the whole experience beyond just passing your classes. What do you think?
