I think about this more often than I’d like to admit. Part of me wishes I’d studied something like psychology or design—fields I loved but didn’t feel “practical” enough to major in at the time. But if I’m being honest, I’m not sure I’d change my path entirely. Every detour taught me something. Still, it’s wild how much pressure we put on 18-year-olds to map out the next 40 years of their lives.

Same path, but studied better, my parents were not into education unfortunately (I know, how is this even a thing)
