It better not be.

But high school and college… it ain’t real.
You’re still leashed.
There are bumpers in your gutters and training wheels bolted to your back axle.
You don’t have anywhere the level of control you get afterward.
You’re simply not able to make all the decisions you’d like to.
Even your last nameyour family, siblings, and your parents reputation in the communitycan box you in.
Self-starters and creators can feel suffocated in the structure of high school, college, and early adulthood.
Control = Decisions + Effort.Control + Time =Whatever the hell you want.
And know that even if it was awesome,it absolutely gets better.
Classic style can be affordable.
