Everything I learned in High School

Added 2018-10-15 13:56:07 +0000 UTC

BEHOLD. A complete, exhaustive list of the information I retained from the entirety of my high school career. This comic is inspired by the fact that every single time I see the fluffy-puffy type clouds, I recall the lesson that named them "cumulus" and the stretched-out-gauzy ones Cirrus. Honourable mentions to a loose recollection of how a cell is put together, a smattering of Shakespeare that I will never be able to forget, some VERY good drawing advice, and a couple bonus bits of knowledge about coffee and booze that were NOT part of any curriculum.

Now, I'm by no means advocating for a laissez-faire attitude towards education. BUT sometimes it's reassuring to know that the vast majority of what happens in High School really just won't impact your life after the fact. I was lucky enough to have a pretty fantastic time during that period, but for anyone who is NOT having that experience, know that good or bad you are going to leave the vast majority of it behind.

Happy Monday you beautiful people. Do you have any remnant sticky-bits of knowledge from High School? Do tell, I'd love to know.
