Life and School

My friends and I have lately been complaining a lot about school. We all just want out of here and start our careers, but that makes me wonder isn't life like school? We will always be learning new things everyday... either about ourselves, family and friends, or our jobs. I love to learn new things and have my eyes opened to new ideas, but not when it comes to something negative in my life. I hate when I realize I'm doing something wrong and I need to correct myself. I guess it makes me feel "not so perfect", which I aspire to be. Then I think why do I need to be perfect? No one else is. Self-improvement is always great, but an obsession with it is unheathly. In today's society everyone is expecting to have perfect everything. Perfect employees, perfect spouses, perfect children, ect... However, I think perfection is overrated. If I had a perfect boyfriend I would feel inferior, and that would suck. Society shows perfection falsely. Even though models are skinny, most of their photos are airbrushed, women that are 50 years old that look 20 have injected their face with botox and their body is now 60 perect silicone. Who would want to live a "fake" life"? I like who I am and who I am becoming, imperfect every step of the way... just the way it should be.
