Thanks for the tip. I wish I weren't in high school right now. So much busywork.

In my experience, it only gets worse.

I would think that if I were in college, I wouldn't have to take classes that are incredibly slow paced. Also, I wouldn't have to be physically present in the school for 8 hours. The classes would be more specific to my interests.

On the other hand, I would have to take care of myself which would take a lot of time.

Right, I forgot about college. If you do that right, it can be idyllic.

In college I'm taking it slow because I have the luxury of money and time and a wonderful environment in silicon valley. I feel like if i was taking as many units as i could and not just a comfortable amount above full time status there would be a TON of busywork but so far I'm greatly enjoying my idyllic experience :) I think it all depends what you wanna optimize for.
