Seriously, don't bring a pony to a candy-pizza-video game store.

That's just irresponsible.

"BEHOLD! The super fun corner that contains everything you've ever dreamed of! Don't think about it, though. You need to sit in the opposite corner and focus on responsible, altruistic things. Yes, the super fun corner will be in full view at all times, but if you're a good person, you'll be able to focus entirely on the good, boring things."

...That started with me writing a fun bit, and turned into me sort of venting about how pre-college school felt. A lot of college courses felt WAY different because I had more say in what I studied, though there was still a few courses I had to take in which my brain sort of fizzled from lack of interest.

Given when I was in school, I'm not sure if it's weird that not one educator brought up the possibility of ADHD, but it feels SO WEIRD in retrospect that no one brought up the possibility of ADHD.
