Indie Chick - Summer 2014

I’m talking about every time you ‘Google’ something

and every time you ask someone a question when you’re interested in what they’re talking about. Heck, every time you listen to someone talk about something, you’re educating yourself on that particular topic. Curiosity is a very interesting and natural thing that, in my opinion, has been tainted by academia. Now, don’t get me wrong here: I really loved school before I dropped out and I definitely see the value in attending,

especially when your career depends on acquiring a degree on that subject. I just think that sometimes, the pressure to be educated can stomp on our natural inclination to learn. There were so many things that intrigued me about school, especially when I was free to take miscellaneous classes to fulfill my credit needs. But because I was busy growing up, circumstances forced me to prioritize my days and there would be times that I’d show up to class unprepared because I had chosen to have sex and go to a concert the night before instead of studying for a test.
