Greetings,
This can easily turn into the longest thread on this forum, so I will keep this first post short.
My Being wants me to get my masters in English from the University down the road. As an undergraduate from about 2007-2015 I
misused and abused my intellect. But I got an English degree from the (self-proclaimed) top English-program in the country, Vanderbilt. It was ridiculous. I am not that cerebrally smart, yet I was able to
push myself to getting a degree.
So, how do I ethically return to school without breaking my brain again? By "ethically" I refer to conscientiously playing the game that we call the "education system" i.e. writing papers that are not true to my soul, going to insipid classes that no-one wants to be at, and studying Shakespeare through the distorted lens of scholastic busy-work so as to become "qualified" to teach English at junior college here soon.
I could write a thesis about my experience with college... And I might! But for now, if you could point me in the write direction of how to appropriately approach the descent into the hell of college, I would appreciate it.
