You become the gigachad who realizes that most of school education is probably not worth the attention, you skip through classes and master things you really enjoy doing in the meantime.

If you want to really sound like a spanish speaker say it like hijueputas. In english I'd transcibe it like ee-hway-POO-tahs. It sounds way more rude like that.
