How do you stay motivated with school after you realize/feel like it's a waste of time?

I'm a senior in university; although I decided to take this year off because of how gay my university is (No gym; yet they're charging $500/yr for it, masks at all time or else kicked out of university/fined by the police). Just doing some gen eds at a community college so I can focus more on my major classes, research, and grad school applications when I return next year.

I don't know, it just seems like we're forced to learn a lot of nothing with no real world application. With research or even running my own business, I felt like I actually learned useful skills. In the end, nobody gives a fuck if you know a bunch of random facts(They could just google/look up what they need to know if they did); just what you can do for them.
