I've never met an old guy in the pub who was not wholesome as hell. I hope to one day be the old guy in the pub. Maybe since I'm almost 30, I could settle for the nearby college bar for now.

Being almost 30 in a college bar is creepy as hell ngl

PhD students should be grading papers or whatever nerd stuff they do

I finished mine at 24, but most people I knew were in their late 20s or around 30.

That's fucking incredible Emma.

Mad props.

Did you straight up go highschool grad -> undergrad -> honours -> done in 2 years doctorate without any breaks in between or did you somehow skip a step/start early?
