Good evening, everyone! So glad you could join me! Isn't it funny how education has turned into a Netflix series? I mean, it used to be just books and classrooms, and now it’s like, 'Welcome to CourseConnect, where you can learn everything you need to know about... well, not failing this semester!'

Have you seen these interactive learning modules? They break down complex topics like a kid trying to eat a giant pizza. 'Slice it, bite it, chew it—oh no, I forgot what was on the last slice!' And let’s be real—if I had a nickel for every time I got sidetracked in an interactive lesson, I'd have enough money to pay for my own therapist after realizing I spent five hours learning how to be a professional quizzer!

How many of you have used flashcards? Raise your hands! Ah, yes, the only relationship where you're expected to remember everything and still get dumped! You ever use those things and feel like you’re playing a game of emotional roulette? 'Here’s a term... oh, I remember you! And here’s another... wait, what’s my name again?'

And what about the games? You think you can learn anatomy by fighting dragons? 'Take that, Smaug! I’ll remember where the spleen is or else!' I mean, if I had known learning would involve slaying mythical creatures, I would’ve signed up for this way earlier! At this rate, the only thing I’m mastering is how to level up my procrastination skills!

So here’s the deal: education today is like a buffet, and we all know how we act at a buffet. We overfill our plates, end up regretting our life choices, but somehow we still convince ourselves it’ll be different next time! Just remember: take a little bit of everything, except for the broccoli—always skip the broccoli! Thank you, everyone, you've been amazing!
