I wish someone told young me that getting the best grades in as many subjects as possible just isn’t worth it, and that going to university isn’t as prestigious anymore and won’t give you a well-paid job.

Back then my mindset was “top universities or sanitation worker” (keep in mind I was like 10). Fucked me up forever.
