Not feeling like you learned anything in a class until years later.

Yeah I can't really think of anything too specific other than it has happened. And there are likely going to be more examples to come throughout my life. It just struck me that we never truly know that something is going to be useless because there might be an instance that we need to apply the weirdest things during our education. Then again there might not be. But you just never really know until the time does in fact happen. That knowledge is just in the back of our head, stored back there. There might be a time where it just slowly eases back into our lives, depending on the situation. Really it does in fact depend for sure. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Very true points. The theory can be applied later on. Sometimes much later on and sometimes it is much later on to say the very least. Yet when the time comes, we will know when its important. I think that we don't forget as much as we think we do, at least many of us. However there is really something to be said a lot of the time that there are certain things that we are not going to really know until much later. I do think that a lot of the time, we only cram the information in for the exams as well. Sometimes its retained, other times we do wish it was. Still the point remains that there are times where the information is just crammed in the back of our mind. Perhaps we will never really use it. Perhaps we will. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
