Jk, good for her. I don’t envy her life at all though, meandering about the university grounds drunk or stoned with friends was some of the best nights of my life.
My first instinct is to agree that I don’t envy her either, but her experience of childhood/school is so different than mine that I don’t even have a frame of reference. Maybe she’s having the time of her life? I hope so anyway
Could be. If 17 year old me had chosen my life trajectory I’d be having a bad time. Hopefully she has better advisors and plans that don’t have her chasing achievements as a way of life. Or an insatiable infatuation with chasing achievements. That can be a way of life too, just not one I’d want.
All the rigor of school, none of the fun.

It’s true you gotta savour life.
