Like what I was learning in college here, my first two years was stuff that I learned already in high school before that.

especially like math and science.

So I don't know how old I was, but I remember learning the rudimentary version of how the digestive system works and how exciting it was to me.

And so I was like, oh, this is why I want to be a scientist because I like making sense of things in that kind of way.

But I did not enjoy school at all.

I hated going.

Every single day was miserable.

When I was sick, it was really exciting.

Like Emily liked going to school.

I cannot imagine that.

I got bullied my last two years because I switched schools.

In the other school, I was totally fine.

I was invisible to the bullies, and I had my group of friends, and we were all sort of like...

I wouldn't say even what clique we were, we were just friends.

Actually, one time I remember, everyone liked me up until my last two years of high school.

I was the nerdy kid that I was also friends with the bad kids because I had a breakfast club situation where I was in detention once because I got roped into something.

I never got in trouble, so this was a big deal.

but I got detention with like some of the bad kids and we had a great time together.

And I was like, oh, these kids that I judged that they were like the, can I swear?

The shitty kids.
