    @ladykazumi: Sorry I didn't see your mention until just now! You may have to bleach it, but it shouldn't be too bad depending on how dark her hair is!

thinking back
the students in that dev bio class were also very encouraging of me
it was a good little group for that semester

(I mean other than this research/paper thing I loved pretty much every minute of university)

ooo this moth research sounds awesome!
what is he trying to learn about them?

    We literally only met for 10mins and he was like "Come do this thing with me." LOL But from what I understand he does surveys to maintain data in regard to migration and evolutionary patterns.

    He's discovered 12 species and named 5. o:

xD that's awesome of him haha

ah see just hearing about research makes me excited

that's so cool! naming species o:

there was this moment in one of my classes when we were talking about the future/graduating and a classmate was worried about jumping into the field of biology without knowing anything and the field changing rapidly
and the professor was like well you have kind of already done that. you didn't know anything when starting university and you've done stuff
made it less intimidating

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/12/1 04:37:38 )
guess that's why they're profs |D

but things had progressed a lot just in the time from when we started to graduation and it's like you just feel so behind
all the time

always learning I guess

    I felt the same way as that classmate. I was just like... I don't know if I can do this. I should just stick with something I already know a lot about (the medical field), but one of my professors was just like... Isn't the point of science to learn? I was like, gosh damn.

    And then I used to beat myself up for not getting the "easy" stuff, and I had another professor tell me "It's not easy 'stuff' if you struggle with it."

    There's a ton to learn in the arts too, tho! Don't sell yourself short! I think subjects like art history and art theory are really complicated. * ___ *

    oof i feel that too
    life is just endless learning |D

    ahh i know arts has its share of difficult and challenging things too but man
    it has way less economic value within our current system and i'm struggling ahaha "orz

I was never really interested in the medical field
and a lot of my classmates were pre-med
I think a lot of them are becoming doctors now
or they're vets
some are still in school
I think most are like me and moved onto other things after graduation that don't have a thing to do with biology
I don't know what most people are doing because I don't really keep in touch

we've really spread out

    lmao i don't keep in touch with my old classmates either, and the fact that i stayed back an extra year also widened that gap

    i saw one recommended to me on linkedin tho, she's working in the field and doing 3d along with it :O

    I don't keep in touch with people either. > _ >;
    In fact, I haven't made any new friends in the two years I've been in college.
    I just socialize with people in my classes and then move on every semester.
    I just don't have time, really. If they're not in my major and don't follow along my same class path then we'll probably never see each other again. XD

and after love and loss and all the tears that I cried, I find that here we are in the future

Donator — she/they Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/12/1 04:52:00 )


    I still talk to people from years and years ago that I met on an avatar site. XD;
    Though most of the new friends I make are from games (I'm a guild leader for GW2 and meet tons of people there on a monthly bases).
