For a long time, I was a middling student. 65-75% grades, with the occasional 80 in something I was interested in. It’s unbelievable how much that limits you when you want to go further, or apply for a bursary or the like.

Part of it for me, was that I was slotted in the lower stream/special needs stream during high school. This was largely because I was bored to tears in school, had a ton of home drama going on at that time.

I did a pile of upgrading, and ended up graduating with 150 of the 100 credits needed. I managed to get accepted into a smaller collage, transfer to the university, I wasn’t exceptional at really anything until my 4th year of B.Sc., where the specialized topics came in and I could fill my boots. I worked hard, though, which was all I really had going for me.

I pulled up my socks enough to get into grad school, and welp, here I am 10 years later (15 years experience in my field) doing what I set out to do.

You just mad she’s living the life you want, bruh

K, but real talk, I would do terrible, depraved things to lick Natalie Portman’s freshly shaved armpits.

Why are you posting pictures of me online?

Went through a whole phase where I drew biker mice from Mars. It’s not weird, something like 8% of kids do this.

I used to deadpan joke to junior field staff to watch out for the Boreal fen sharks. I would carry that joke as far as I could seeing how long they would believe it.

For the record the mythical boreal den shark lives in the wettest, shittiest part of the fen, where you have at best an island of peat the size of your boot to stand on. One step in any direction lands you in 80 cm of water, and an overtopped boot.

Street sharks was a dope show

Is that per ball?

Shave your nuts with a double edge razor like a real man.

Something something broken arms

I’m of the mind that if you’re being criminally tried, your likely guilty. Not always, obviously, but that’s enough to say to get me off any jury.

Thanks, I found a really good trove of memes and had to share them with my frens :)
