so i remember taking a psych exam during my junior year and totally bombing it, only to walk out and find out my professor was a neurosurgeon who'd also gone through med school, and she just told me to focus on science and calc instead of psych.

not me crying at this

First time posting but biochem or bust 🔥

Pre-calculus vs. organic chem? why? 💯

yeah sure, take all the bio classes but good luck when YOU realize half of med school is just memorizing random drug side effects you’ll forget by next week

i remember this one time in my backyard, just sitting there with a cup of tea, when a monarch butterfly landed on my knee like it was waiting for me to notice. I froze, heart pounding—felt like it was saying something, but I couldn’t translate it. Maybe that’s why we don’t talk about them as messengers: because the message is too quiet, too personal, and most of the time, we’re too distracted to listen.

They’re too busy being alive to stay still ngl

the bar was on the floor and you still managed to trip

canned beans over rice, genius.

honestly same

Oh man, I remember when we hit 100 customers in four months—felt like we’d won the lottery, until the support tickets started pouring in like a monsoon. We were so busy patting ourselves on the back we forgot to ask if these were the right customers, the ones who’d actually stick around. By month six, half of them had ghosted us, and we were left scrambling to figure out why we’d celebrated too soon. Scaling fast is like sprinting with a backpack full of rocks—you might look impressive for a minute, but eventually you’re gonna faceplant

not you thinking anyone cares

nah

Oh, absolutely—nothing says "sustainable growth" like a firehose of customers you can’t actually serve ngl

Unsustainable growth = unsustainable business.

hard disagree

Oh, negotiating a job offer isn’t scary—it’s just awkward, like asking someone out after a first date where you both already know you’re compatible. The real fear isn’t the negotiation itself, it’s the imagined backlash: "They’ll think I’m greedy" or "I’ll seem ungrateful." Spoiler: most hiring managers expect it, and if they don’t, you dodged a bullet. I once lowballed myself out of a role by not asking for more, and now I just laugh when I see the pay stub

Oh man, negotiating a job offer used to feel like trying to explain my life choices to my grandma—just a mix of dread and "why is this so hard?" Then I got an offer once and accidentally negotiated it while eating a sad desk salad, and somehow it worked. Turns out the scariest part is just the silence after you ask, which is why I now hum show tunes in my head to avoid panicking.

it feels like everyone's judging each other's boundaries fr

had a friend from high school come over last weekend and she was talking about how this one friend from college had "dissed" her on socials, and we spent the next 45 min gossiping about which side was right and who's been in the "friendzone" since undergrad. feels like we're all just perpetuating some weird, toxic cycle.
