preparing months for an exam for a number that supposedly determines your worth ******* up to teachers, people you don't even like just for them to hopefully write a few commendable words about you
all for the hopes of being deemed "acceptable" to some supposed authority for a place that will decide what you'll be doing for the rest of your life making these drastic decisions at the age of 18 when not too long ago you were just picking out your prom dress
listing down any type of hobby or recreation you have to make yourself seem a little more unique since the competitiveness between you and your peers is sharper than a knife who will make the final cut in the end and be deemed worthy?
that's all we do. that's all we've been doing for years as a society.
