did you do shit at school or something? you seem to defend people not graduating or going to college a lot.

haha! No. I actually did really well at school and college.

I just think that everyone’s different. And while you can probably hit a good majority of people with the choices that you get at school and college, there are some that you can’t. There are some people that just can’t do academic subjects, or whose minds aren’t made for that. It doesn’t make them dumb at all, it’s just the way they are. For me, personally, to sit someone down to do maths and english and science and stuff so that the can be a dancer or a designer or an actor or whatever, is just dumb. As long as people know the basic stuff that they need- if they can count, and they can spell, and they can form sentences - who gives a shit? Like, I doubt I’m ever gonna come across algebra again, and yet I spent years learning it. 

Some people will need that, many people won’t. Some people won’t need it but will be able to learn and adsorb it anyway, will be able to get the grade, some people won’t. Those people are never actually considered, and they’re just put through school and college and thought of as dumb if they can’t do it. The way I see it, there isn’t just one kind of intelligence. 

I talked to a lot of business owners towards the end of college, which helped a lot when it came to my eventual decision to not go to university. They were from PR companies and graphic design companies and stuff, and when I asked about grades and their importance, they all said that it’s the last thing they look at or are concerned about. They look at someones portfolio, their experience, their interview. If someone can do the job and they can prove it, what grades they got in English Lit in high school aren’t going to stop them from getting it.

Obviously, every company is different, and every career path is different, but as is every person. To say that certain people are wrong or dumb because they genuinely struggle with school - not through ignorance or laziness, but through genuine struggle - is really shitty. Brittany is a good example of someone whose mind isn’t cut out for the education system, I think. And we spend so much of our school lives being told that there is only one choice, and that we must go to college, and we must graduate, and we must have a plan, that we lose sight of a lot of things, and we close our minds to so many other possibilities. It would be cool if those possibilities were explored.

if they wanted to turn rachel gay they should have done it with quinn. their storyline has been more solid in this season and it would make much more sense than pezberry.
the risk for brittana it's not rachel, it'll be some possible new yorker

I don’t think they have any intention to. I’ve never thought Rachel was gay, or even bisexual, and I don’t imagine them ever going in that direction.

I do think that they will find some way to break Brittany and Santana up. Not in a pessimistic way that comes from reading summer spoilers, because they’re nothing but opinions, but just a gut feeling. I think that they will have Santana in New York, seeing the world outside of Ohio and meeting new people, and have her distance herself from Brittany. They seem to be playing Santana’s love for Brittany off as a first love, or a love that is only as strong as it is because of where they live. I think that they wrote it initially as a much stronger relationship, with Santana not being in love with Brittany because it’s easy or because it’s her ‘only option’, but loving her regardless of it being the hardest thing she’s had to accept about herself. She never wanted to be gay, or admit that she was, or even face her feelings for Brittany at all. They wrote it in a wonderful, solid, true way in season two, but they kinda let that go. Santana would do anything for Brittany, or at least that’s what we saw in season two, but in season three they seemed to forget that.

I dunno. I think they’ll try to break them up and brush it off. I only watch for them anyway, at this point, so we shall see.
