But... but.. I have to go to school! And write essays no one will ever want to read, essays that don't even aspire to be something interesting!

Then write essays that matter. Every assignment is an opportunity for greatness. The same is true after school too; every project is an opportunity for greatness.
That's what I usually try to do. It's the ones on literature that get me. There's not much to be said about a play by Shakespeare.
(Briefly, it's an essay on someone who disparaged Shakespeare, but was ignored and forgotten.)

Why did you link this?

Are you serious? Not much to be said about a play by Shakespeare? Maybe you should try re-reading one.
Treat school like your day job. You only have to be there like 6 hours a day, 5 days a week - it's a pretty easy job.
Hopefully, people don't mistake "don't waste your time" for "don't ever invest for a long-term goal".
How do you know that? post them on the internet, I'm sure someone will read them.
