Love this. Sums up a lot of my own feelings about college, though I was never an Ivy League student. It saddens me but doesn't surprise me that even Harvard students doubt the value of their degrees these days. :/

If I hadn't graduated early, I'd be graduating right now too. It's rough for us 22-year-olds right now. Things are so shitty we might as well take risks and do things differently. Maybe we won't have any choice but to do that.

Thanks for reading! I think every student's college experience is filled with both highs and lows -- especially those whose college careers were interrupted by the pandemic -- but ultimately I believe that everyone grows through these experiences in the way they're meant to. I'm very grateful for my years at Harvard, although I don't think I walked it the traditional route most students did either, so maybe taking risks and doing things differently is the way to go...
