  • Happy birthday!

    I was in high school and honestly having a great time. My friend group was pretty solid, I remember having a decent bunch of fun classes, and that was the first year I had a cell phone. Having a phone and a friend with a car meant that I was granted a lot more freedom.

    My friend with the car would pick me up at 6am on the weekends and sometimes on school days and we’d go snowboarding, pushing each other to be better and to have fun. We did a lot together besides just that, and I spent a lot of time at her place, which was nice to get away from mine.

    It was a good time :) I hope your teen years haven’t been too fraught with all that is happening in the world and you’re able to have your own freedoms and fun







  • I went to a smaller university, which is somehow worse that University of [State]. Maybe Ivy League vs not matters to some boy’s clubs, but honestly it’s not the piece of paper that matters, it’s how you use your time during your education.

    I’m not going to say I’m a paragon saint of schooling, I hardly went to a lot of my classes and I cheesed through my calc class by just using Patrick JMT on YouTube to understand how to do my homework. BUT I did pay attention in my main courses and applied for tons of internships when I had enough knowledge under my belt. After my first internship ended, I was personally recommended by my prof for two more, and he tried to hook me up with a job after I got my degree.

    A little effort goes a long way. And being honest about your abilities goes a long way, too. Saying hey prof, I just can’t understand this concept, can I come over during office hours will get you plenty of points in their favor typically.

    So, yea, tl;Dr it’s not the school you go to, it’s how you use it.
