    Around 16 or 17. I was already aware that “studying hard” was bullshit by 13, which made my grades fall from 90-100% to just passing, which in turn led to lots of complaining from my mom until I finished high school.

      In school I would calculate exactly what I would need to do to just pass. I’ve always loved learning but didn’t care for basically everything about the schools I was in. Which brought a storm of shit from my teachers and grandma.

      No one appreciated the effort of calculating how many questions need to be answered on a test in order to bring your grade to a 74%. Sure it would’ve been easier to just do the thing, but they didn’t make it fun and it didn’t matter.
