Why? Probably nobody knows.

What's the point of taking so many classes, from high school to college, when we forget the majority of what we learned in these classes right after we are done with the classes? Aside from the upper division courses related to our major, when will we use the things we "learned" in all those years of school? (Not to mention some people don't even get a job that is too related to their major). IT can be concluded we waste those first 22 years of our lives "learning" a lot of things we don't really retain or need for our lives.
Why? WHY?! And, on the contrary, why do we NOT take classes about things that we should know, but don't know? (topics include: buying a house, filing taxes, healthy eating, communication, etc.) We all know what kind of things we have to "learn" throughout high school and through the first two years of college. Why does society structure itself like so?

Summer....

I feel like most of society revolves around consumerism, eating, and media. Doesn't most social life revolve around some form of shopping, purchasing, eating meals together, watching videos online/movies or talking about some form of media? Hmmmmm

Anyway, I go back to Berkeley on Monday morning. That means I would have spent a total of 8 days home. In these eight days, I have been teaching my mom computer basics and also getting practice cooking since its about all I'm going to get before I go back >_> then I probably won't cook very much.

I'm apparently very bad at blogging.
