    You just brought up a bunch of pretty deep-rooted issues but discussed them rationally and with a level head.

Life is so much easier when you conquer your emotions. Lots of projects all cascading into one another, feels overwhelming, but doable. Hanging out with smart, motivated people who are doing real amazing things, and having those same people treating me like one of their peers is fucking with the brain right now.

I mean, that should be in a good way, I hope! One of the overarching problems I have with my school is a lack of intellectual spirit. By that I mean, everyone is insanely driven, everyone is exceeding all these standards and getting all this work done, but nobody really has the time or energy for intellectual discussion or work if it's unrelated to their daily tasks, assignments, and duties.

That's totally fine, but even having the opportunity to hang out with 'smart, motivated people doing amazing things' is a rare and invaluable asset. It's also super motivating.
