School is hell.
It's like prison.
It is so regimented.
You have to get up earlier than anyone ever wants.
It's often dark.
Either you're at boarding school where you're questioning everything, like, does my family love me?
It's minus five.
You had a night listening to other people shuffle, cough and masturbate in beds next door to you.
And you go, what the hell is this?
Theo Bossom.
Oh my gosh, isn't that an actual person?
Yeah.
Shout out to Theo Bossom.
So you're either that or you're at a day school and you have to schlep out, often like getting buses before dawn to get to this lesson.
And then you're forced for years to study subjects you're not good at until you can finally give one or two of them up, but then you're still...
And then it's just so weird.
And I understand it's the best system we have.
Yeah.
But I hated it.
I should say, I hated school as a concept.
