I get asked if i'm still in middle school or high school.

The other day a 13 yo tried to flirt with me because he thought i was 15.

I'm 25.

 

Same thing happened to me some months ago at an ice rink, only the age gap was a little less embarassing. Still, he was 15 and I turned 20 this year. 

 

I guess if he had been a genius, I might have waited around for him to go 18 and then given it a second thought. But the point with male teenagers is that... they're all... they're all so dumb.

I'm a few years older than you and I get the same question many times. And since I work at an university, the latter thing happen quite often to me. Well, at least they're 18-20s, not 13

This is so true... haha! 

 

I'm teaching a class of grade 12 students so most of them are 17-18 years old and when they ask me 'Miss, would you date any of us here?'... I immediately think to myself 'if you really understood the word maturity, you wouldn't even ask me that'.

I finally got an 8 (out of 10) in my last assignment.

I just wish my 2 group mates would start contributing more. Not that they are not trying, but at this point, it is getting ridiculous. It also does not help that while I am doing my masters, they are doing their PhD and PDEng respectively. Yet, I do about 80-85% of the projects because what little I know about Matlab is apparently more than what they know, combined.

OMG I also work in an (well I think we can consider it even) institution.. so they're close in age.. luckily no one has made me feel awkward (yet).

Tomorrow is holiday... but somehow I feel like there's not going to be any rest?

One of my biggest goals in life right now is to be able to feel good about myself even in a situation where I'm confronting a person who doesn't like me.

I love living in a place where chinese restaurants are almost a 1:1 ratio with taco stands

I've tried chinese food in other cities and i have to say, the food we have here is the best i've tasted.

Oh wow, how did I just find out that this thread existed? Here's my random contribution: finished a huge ass programming project for class this weekend that I'd been tearing my hair out over for weeks. May or may not have cried at least 3 times during the debugging process. I have a really intense love/hate relationship with C++. Mostly hate, if we're being honest. But it's nice to see there's so many other members in the computer science/STEM field on this planet :)

Oh God 

Once i went C# i never looked back. (Fun fact: a good chunk of the admin team is CS/STEM )

We've just had a hurricane in Moscow which killed 11 people - and I just managed not to see or feel or hear any of it.

I was just reading news about it. I hope the capital recovers soon.

Yesterday my sister cried when she discovered that her favorite band (which she became a fan this year) would split up in 2020 and I tried to comfort her and said that they still have 3 years to go. Then I remembered that 3 years was not much different than 2 years.

(HUGS) Let's have a crying session together - all the three of us...
