Question of the Day!

I went to University over a decade ago. I still dream about it. Mostly nightmares about going back missing all my classes and forgetting an assignment or worse missing a final.

I wasn't part of a sorority, but I knew when pledge week was because frat row would always have pledges shout obscene college themed chants on the house's front lawn.

We had homecoming, no prom because, well, it was University. You had various sports events. I never attended because I was focused on academics.(Well okay I only went to homecoming once with my best friend back then, Katherine Webb. It was strictly platonic, she had a boyfriend back home and I was always crushing on some random guy from the dorms.)

If there were any protests, they were small and subtle. The only one for sure was the one time the student LGBTQ+ community wore duct tape over their mouths. They were protesting the suppressed feeling they had in the state of Utah. Frankly, I don't blame them for trying to draw attention to the unfairness.

Back then, I only spent an average of $300 on textbooks. ~$50-100 on other supplies and lab fees. Tuition was only ~$1600 back then. It wasn't until years later that I paid off my student loans.(I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement to do so and let's leave it at that.)

Would I say that it's worth it? Yes but only if you're willing to put in the work to make your end goal after graduation come true. I've slipped, now I'm trying to make my background in Biology work for me again. Even if the idea scares me.
