<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I'm in my final year of high school, and I don't think I can actually last the rest of the year like this.
Essentially, my friends are pricks. I've always known that, but through various circumstances I've come to realize that I don't want to be one of said pricks anymore.
I'd perhaps call myself a hopeless romantic (who's never actually had a girlfriend - take that as you see fit), which is pretty much the opposite of every HS guy to ever exist.
At my part time job I've met some plainly nice people, no strings attached, no games of thrones to play for social status like the last 13 years at school. Being at work, doing tasks that are just complex enough to keep me from ruminating over my problems, makes me happy, or at least content, and I've realized all I want is that.
<bot>: Now that I've had a taste of the 'real world', school is crushing me, which is pretty much the opposite of what I've been told all my life.
