Today is the first day of Winter Quarter and I am contemplating committing Sudoku or torching myself alive just so that I will not have to deal with any of my classes. It’s not that I don’t enjoy learning things, it’s just that I’m the type of guy that goes through hours of pain and suffering just to understand trivial concepts. These hours keep adding up and eventually my overall happiness plummets to dangerously low levels. I soon find myself browsing random boards on 4chan, seriously contemplating why I ever decided to go to college in the first place. That’s possibly one of the problems with higher education for my generation: it’s so accessible that some people go, not because they really want to, but because it’s just too good of a deal to pass up. It’s like those “buy three get one free” deals you sometimes see at stores: even if you didn’t really need the fourth one you might as well take it because it’s added “value.” But whatever, rage-quitting (i.e. dropping out of school) is for n00bs (or the innately intelligent), so I just suck it up, stop whining, and get back to work. Besides, I already purchased my meal plan so might as well get that VALUE and eat it all before I leave!!! Perhaps once I graduate or get a job things will get better. Of course, I also need a way to support my parents once I stop leeching off them, but that’s a topic for some other time. Nothing more to say for now readers, so see you all another time!

As a final note, feel free to email any comments to seanwang22(at)ucla.edu, I’d love to chat with anyone special enough to read my blog.
