    Network. Get to know people. That’s what my parents never got across. People can hand you jobs in Uni. Out there you have to scruff for them and fight tooth and nail for a crappy job regardless of your SAT scores. The bigger thing that I never understood: you don’t make yourself. Other people bolster you into positions. It’s not cheating. It’s how the system works.

      Gonna save this comment, thanks. Stuff like this is difficult to plan out when you didn’t expect to get this far to begin with lol
