It's a Conspiracy, I'm Sure of It

College, & formal education altogether, is a crazy thing. They tell you what, how and how long to write about a topic that doesn't necessarily interest you. Then it takes you all night (or several days). Yet, given a topic that you enjoy, you can write and easily satisfy any length requirement while gladly conforming to the "how" of the project. Using an English class as an example (since we all have to take them), how can that be a true assessment of your writing skills? Formal education is a joke.
