Well, since we're on the topic of education, I feel as though the whole system needs to be refitted for the future. A lot of genuinely intelligent people are being stigmatized due to their inability to mesh with classmates and teachers. Likewise, we're stuck imploring ponderous tomes that we couldn't care less about, and for what? Our inherent creativity is slowly being sucked away by this system. People need to be able to spread their wings.

In regards to the OP, I can't stand the notion of self-pity. I can confidently say that I love my life.
