You become the gigachad who realizes that most of school education is probably not worth the attention, you skip through classes and master things you really enjoy doing in the meantime.

No that's not how my story continues. I didn't buy the "pessimist guide" I bought the "personal resource management" book.

If you want to really sound like a spanish speaker say it like hijueputas. In english I'd transcibe it like ee-hway-POO-tahs. It sounds way more rude like that.

I am a native spanish speaker, thank you.

For me it's usually plants, and I still manage to suck at them. I do know some fun facts though.
