Is it good to be interested/study/learn different and random things ?
I'm in high school by the way, and I know I'm going to fail (I'm in year 11 right now) and so instead of just wasting my time attempting to study when I know I won't achieve much, I figured I should try and improve skills that I otherwise would not gain or be interested in at school.
i.e, I love biology, but hate the class, so I have spent a decent amount of money on documentaries of wildlife, books/textbooks etc, to learn about living things without attempting to pass some test...
Also, I love physics and engineering, but hate the class, so I may buy some DIY kits of small appliances eg solar powered car, and try building it myself, using soldering irons and such.
I don't really know how effective my "hobbies" will be in achieving anything, but I'm doing them because it interests me. Do you think this will make me "smarter" though ? As in, learning without relying on school ? Has that ever worked for anyone else ?
thank you
I do the exact same thing as you. Occasionally I get interested in random hobbies and spend a lot of time learning about different things. But for me, my number one priority is school and for you it should be to. It's good that your random studies will make you well versed in a variety of subjects, but if you can't get into a good college because of your grades, then there's not much hope for your future. I would recommend getting a tutor and keeping your grades up, but by no means stop your hobbies because it's always good to keep your mind mentally stimulated.
