A study on non-academic studies

W-i-P ideaFILE:
 
I think there are enough people steeped in the environment and rigors of educational institutions to go around. I don't reject formal education, but I don't want to be deeply steeped in it. 
 
I got a bachelor's degree and made the most of my college experience, in activities such as theater, college media, and special electives, as well as working a steady part-time job, a few times serving as a proctor and professor's assistant, too. I even proposed, produced, wrote, directed and appeared in a short dramatisation as part of a campus art installation dedication ceremony.
 
I didn't want my life, as my father's was, defined by the academic world. For what reason? I have a list.
 
 
It is an experiment in frustration. A study in being regular, living a regular life, but for irregular ends.
