Rushing

Elistism and higher education have pushed us to 'focus' on short term achievenments.

During high school; good grades (not necessary learning well), meaningless community service hours, boring honors society, unpaid internships and whatnot
I thought a true high education, college, would be different.
NOT really. semester-to-semester and midterm-to-midterm; trying to earn that extra 1 point back on last quiz, doing a summer research that don't mean anything, founding a club to pad a resume, working at a lab but actually doing all the dumb-down stuffs.

... yeah. that makes me sad and feel bad for my generation
