Way into my thirties, I'm still dreaming about school many nights.

I hate it. I asked a senior once, he's like yeah still happening. I'm like f^$#@! The trauma never ends.

"oh fuck theres that class ive been avoiding all semester and totally forgot about and now I need to turn in my paper and take my final but I can't find my car!"

The fact that this is universal trauma truly shows how unnatural we approach education. We need a better way.

I'm in my 40s and I still regularly have dreams that I somehow didn't really graduate high school.

In my fifties and still have that dream, but it's worse.

I went to boarding school, so my dreams involve fifty something year old me having to go back to live in the dorm with a bunch of kids.
