Object Oriented Programming

As a novice programmer and as someone who started learning programming with C, OOP just seems annoying to me. Seems as though it's easier to accomplish the same tasks without it. Is it actually necessary to learn it?

I don't care how it's supposed to look like, all I care about is for it to look the way I'm used for it to look like. And since most text I've read during my life used a disproportional font, I'm used to reading it as ``--'', i.e. two en dashes.
