Have you ever sat back and wondered what was the point of school? Now, I'm not talking math or reading, but what was the point of history, science (if you don't plan or already have a career in the field)? Most of what I was taught, I didn't learn. I can barely remember basic math in my head and usually opt for a calculator. I know, sad.
With that said, why didn't we learn taxes, financial planning, real life application to interest rates, and why didn't we learn why some of the things we were learning were going to be important? I'm sure we still wouldn't have listened if they told us, but I really wish I payed attention in English class when we learned new vocabulary words or in chemistry.
My vocabulary would be a beast right now and I would know what acid could help me break into a cheating boyfriend's apartment. Knowledge is powerful! With my mind, it would be very dangerous. I really do mean dangerous. I would love to learn to pick locks and disarm an alarm system as well break into a home. Just to say I know how, but not use it for evil. I digress.
I wish there was a askGod.com site that you could ask what is my purpose? What should my major be? Is he cheating? Should I apply for this job? Where should I go to school? What color should I dye my hair? Will my kids be decent or gorgeous? When will I get married? and actually get the answer.
I know it's not meant to be simple, but when you want and are looking for answers... It ain't so simply and you want it to be.
I might just pray for a askGod.com, but I think God knows we would just think a human was operating the system. Might destroy all of our lives. Until then, I'll keep wandering around until I find my next path. Hope too much time doesn't pass before then though. No one wants to be the One at the class reunion who didn't do much with their life in the last 5 to 10 years.
