A library is a place you go when you are a rebellious teenager and your parents didn’t want you to have a computer (or maybe you had one but you being a dumb kid broke it), so you went there to get away from parents and use the library computer.
(Yes I went to the library just to play some browser based Unity FPS game, cuz my laptop stopped working, that’s me “playing outside” lol)
(Also if your parents are poor and can’t afford a computer or internet access)
Also if you hate a teacher and wanted to skip class. (Okay kids please don’t skip class, I was depressed and hated that class okay)

Skipping class is valid, sometimes school is the worst

I hated it lol.
I ended up just taking the GED to skip doing actual school. I got College-Ready scores in the GED eithout studying, better than the GPA I had in highschool which was like 2 point something, the GED score equivalent is closer to like 3.7 or something
My state college accepted me. But I didn’t even finish a semester and I have depression. So… yeah… withdrew.
It feels very shameful for me as an Asian American. It’s very against the “model minority” sterotype. Pretty sure people, especially like people back in China would be judgy like: “Omg you’re so privilaged¹ to move to America and didn’t even get a university degree, what a waste of opportunity” (nobody said this, but this is how I think they’ll react if they find out I don’t have a degree)
So yea… self esteem isn’t very high.
[¹It’s not even really that “privilaged”. Just a coincidence I got born into a family that has relatives in the US. It’s not like we’re rich or anything, just sheer luck of having the right blood relationships.]
