“The trouble is, adulthood is not at all what I was promised. I imagined that after sixteen years of rule following and DAREing to keep off drugs, there would be some greater reward than working ten hour days, struggling to pay rent, and navigating the emotional minefield of the dating world. What am I to do with these SAT scores now? There should be a banner erected in every elementary school: DOING WELL HERE MEANS NOTHING. I’d like to slip little fortune-sized notes in the schoolbooks of middle schoolers: Stop being so good, and Do whatever you want.”
