The idea of the education system being flawed isn't new, yet, not a lot has been said on how can students deal with it. It is so easy to go through the motions of school, jumping over academic hurdles and lose track of what really matters in education.   

These are a few thoughts that I've put together on how to get the most out of a flawed education system. This has been inspired by Simon Sinek's book "The Infinite Game" and Sir Ken Robinson's book on Educational Reform called "Creative Schools" as well as my own personal experience trying to make the most out of my college life.
