When it comes to fighting off hunger, I’m constantly starving—mostly because I just eat whenever I'm bored. But honestly, I can't function without my gum. It's a total necessity. I do everything while chewing. Not literally doing everything *while* chewing, but you get it... Chewing keeps me level when I'm driving, taking an exam, or if I'm just feeling worked up.

Nobody said he was clueless. They aren't even learning the same stuff. Look, I went through high school, so I know how this works. The only subject that actually takes any real effort is History. I don't get how some people had the patience to go over the same thing five times; I read it once and moved on, good luck to them. But the kids in my class? Honestly, I've never seen a more brainless group, and I'm not saying I'm some genius or anything. During freshman year, about ten people failed out. There were only 22 of us left after everyone else dropped. And get this—the whole class would practically follow one specific kid around like he was some kind of leader, which makes zero sense. His parents were big-shot politicians, sitting right there in the front row. It was a total circus of people sucking up to him or the teachers sucking up to him. Then the doctor's son joins in. Half the class was kids with influential parents—total idiots. The other half were straight-A nerds. Those were the ones who cruised through. Then you had the solid B students who didn't care about studying, just wanted to pass. Maybe one or two people could barely scrape by with an A. When those parents pay for college, I’m not worried about their kids. High school isn't some big deal. Other schools aren't special either. This whole argument is stupid. I went to an engineering college, fell in love, spent all day hanging with my crew, passed everything on schedule, and had a blast. Passing college depends on the individual—it's about drive and hard work. It doesn't matter what your diploma says if you actually know how to survive in the real world.😉

It all comes down to confidence, really. You hear people peddling this nonsense like, "High school is tough, not everyone can hack it," implying that if you didn't go the prep school route, you're somehow less capable or missed out on the "real" knowledge. Personally, I don't give a damn about what degree someone holds or what kind of school they attended. I’ve seen straight-A students choose to go into trade schools because they actually enjoy the work, not because they aren't smart enough for academics. It's simple: those kids are mastering specific, high-level skills while the prep school crowd just skims the surface of a dozen different subjects. To me, there’s no such thing as a "smart" person or a "dumb" person. It’s all about how you carry yourself and how you view your own education. Some people just don't have the drive to sit behind a desk all day, or maybe they struggle to focus. Does that make them any less important? Not even close. In fact, they'll usually outclass you in something else. 🙂 These prejudices are just a byproduct of how people were raised.
