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.
