It was the intentional dismantling of our educational system. I had a long conversation with Mom yesterday before polls closed on EST, and, yeah ... I was at the tail end of competent education, and it wasn't all that competent. I was told by the English department to never try writing because I was disinterested in regurgitating their takes on historical works, after getting my only F in high school for graphic design in beginning yearbook.

Guess what two things I'd then go on to win national awards for? You can't expect every high school student to take those as Wet Paint signs and then have things weirdly coalesce in college.
