I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that’s weird, I don’t know.

Edit; To ask more of a question. What would you do differently?

    Not school generally, but definitely university. Turns out giving an 18 year old total agency with very little accountability doesn’t really set you up for success. I got through (mostly because a close friend kicked my ass), but was a terrible student and am still filling in gaps in my skills a decade later

      I’m an August baby so was the youngest of my cohort going into uni and while I’ve done ok I do wonder if I’d have done a bit better academically if I hadn’t been so distracted by all the other things on offer to a independent 18 year old.
