Class takeaway 8

In class we talked a lot about being stuck in the "golden noose." I have definitely felt very strongly this semester that I've been stuck on a school/work hamster wheel from which there is no escape, so it actually helped destress somewhat to have a class discussion on the topic. I've been feeling like I'm stuck taking useless classes and working a job that really only serves to pay the bills of transporting me to school. I'm not gaining any new experiences. I feel like I've stopped learning. I've hardly felt productive at all but class made me consider that maybe, for now anyway, that's ok. I need to work on calming down and just "going with the flow" until more promising opportunities arise.
