Hah I'd say that my experience was more in line with yours than anything close to the OP. Went to HS from 2008-12', couldn't have given 2 shits about school and was just trying to get some weed and get laid. Similar mindset with all my friend since we all just wanted to go to the state school.
High school (and I'd argue undergrad) for 80% of people is a joke and a waste of time and for me was a time to learn how to network without networking. Always felt kinda funny sitting next to people in my hs,college, and now workplaces who had 'done everything right' their whole life but lo and behold were in the same place doing the same thing for the same pay. But thats probably just me being a douchebag more than anything
