We Were Straight A Students - Ep. 16 (Pressure, Expectations, Education) Head in the Clouds
-
- Documentary
In this episode, my friend Colleen and I discuss our history of being high-achievers in academic settings, and how that influenced our mentalities about self-worth, academic pursuits, and more. Listen as we talk about how to "game" the exam system, how we feel about about the education system at large, and how mediocrity might be alright, after all. Other fun topics include "pseudointellectuality" and "gifted child syndrome." This episode is a chill, candid conversation between two friends who are just a little jaded with life's circumstances.
