This post is from Julia Waldman, a very good friend of mine, she is going to be a great journalist someday!!! So listen up!
It has just occured to me recently that education is a hazard to a person's health. It can harm you mentally and physically. No other time of the year does a person get sick but when they are in school, no other time of your life will you learn to live on very little sleep despite the studies about students needing to rest more often. No one in school will ever be able to get adequate sleep when you have inconsiderate boobs teaching you and never realizing that you DO have OTHER CLASSES to attend to. Also, being that there are only 24 hours in a day and part of those 24 hours are consumed by classes and hopefully sleep it is almost impossible to stay in perfect health no matter what you do. I know I must sound insane for writing all this, but you've all been lead to believe that the more you go to school, the better it is for you in the long run. Think of this from the time you are five till somewhere in your mid-twenties you spend most of the year in a classroom. That's a good chunk of your life. For nut jobs like me who enjoy writing, it is almost impossible to sit through an english class and try to swallow what the teacher is spewing. Now how am I suppose to get any real subjects for my writing without exploring the world I share? But that just goes along with the destruction of creativity and the imagination in most students. I know this all sounds mad, but it is the absolute truth.
