I'm curious if anybody else is able to relate

I enjoy learning but dislike school, I had a high gpa in high school and I'm currently passing my classes in college. However, I dislike school/academia, it all feels redundant and more so a conscientous contest rather than actually gaining an understanding of a topic. I dislike academia for how bureaucratic it can be. When I was NEET, I self-studied (using books) and found that I'm far more effective self teaching, and found it more enjoyable/fuffiling than school could ever be (I enjoy studying various topics for leisure). I wish I would just direct the energy I allocate towards school, towards my personal learning.

I find the nominations and ceremonies that I attended in High School and were apart of to now be trivial. I don't see the point in attending a university commencement when I conclude university. When I attended my sister's commencement, the speaker told the graduates that the ceremony is the most free they will be. So what's the point of spending your last moments free at a ceremony instead of spending it on something you enjoy. In high school, college was hyped up, and "the college experience" was advertised. Having breifly attended a college known for being a party school, I must say that it's not appealing to me, as that's when I discovered that I dislike crowds, and have no interest in parties or large gatherings.

Although I intend to finish college. I do ponder about what my ideal life would be like. My ideal life (in which I don't pursue college or attempt to continue my bloodline, and assuming it's an ideal world) would consist of lving in a low populated area, working some mundane job, that in this ideal life would pay enough to cover the cost of living. And I would spend my leisure time enjoying solitude outdoors, self-teaching/studying, plane spotting and other interest.

What would your ideal life consist of?
