Ever heard of the "Honors" or "Advanced Placement" classes in most highschools? Maybe you're in one or have taken them in the past. Well what they are are specialized courses that expand the workload, intellectual exercising, and learning in general of the student enrolled in that class. These classes contain a HUGE amount of homework, taking up all of your time. I am a sophomore at my highschool, currently enrolled in 3 honors classes and 1 advanced placement class. When I get home I immediately find myself engrossed in homework. I come home, do homework, eat, sleep, wake up early in the morning to do more homework, and go back to school. I have no spare time to engage in hobbies or communicate with peers. You might say I have "no life". And at what purpose am I pushing myself to this limit? To get into a good college? Why? I have no clue what college I might want to attend, as I have no time to research it, and even if I did, I have no clue what I might be interested in majoring in. I do know that I enjoy preparing various meals for myself on weekdays and have made an assortment of goods from homemade bread and pasta, cookies, dinner pies, soup, and other basic dishes. None of that, mind you, is heating up prepackaged foods, but making it from following recipes. I find myself happy after making a meal and become excited at trying new things. It occurred to me that I might wish to attend a culinary school instead of a college to possible grasp a chance at getting a career pertaining to cooking and the like. If that is my life goal, then why in the world am I continuing to gain near sleepless nights slaving over homework for these cruel classes of mine? I have no time to practice my art. I have recently had a discussion with a peer who was not in any of these honors classes, but rather in the lowest classes or fundamentals if you will. He was enrolled in several art classes, however, and after reviewing his work, I was quite impressed. He was a junior, he told me, and had already a college and career as a concept artist picked out for him. He seems to have a complete grasp of his future and current life, while I have very little. Why am I, the hard worker, bogged down with these endless tasks daily, and to receive no ability to foresee my own future? On rare occasions when I have little work to do, I find myself lost in a world without labor, a place with nothing to do. It is a sad life I lead. But I digress. My theory is as follows: If students are in advanced courses and receive maximum amounts of work that take up all of their time, then they will have less of a chance to live happily in a career that suits their enjoyment, whilst those with little work but great direction will enjoy their future work very much and look forward to doing it. Also: There are four types of students (has been broadened): The hardworking who do well The hardworking who do not do well due to mismanaged time The laid-back who do well The laid-back who fail and do not care Where should I go with my life? Should I aim for college or culinary school? What do you think of my theory? Thanks for reading.

What? Why? How can I change?

I saw it too, it was pretty fucking sweet.

What's the name of that Cooking Show where the tall lanky guy goes around to grocery stores and chooses some random woman to cook with? He buys them cooking supplies for free and tells them to tell their husband that there's a surprise for dinner. Anyone know? There might be a reward if you tell me the right name.
