Varda said:the year that made a big difference to me was when i turned 20, that's when i funished university and had to learn not to be a student anymore... work for a living, having a lot more responsability, and not being able to use the "i'm just a student" excuse
Varda said:i got admited at 17, eliminated a couple of classes with some credits that i had, did an insane schedule taking as many classes as i was allowed on each semester, and managed not to fail any... i also had the help of a teacher to get me a job at a lab so i could do my research while i was still taking some classes
i wouldnt recomend it to anyone though... those were 3 years in which i didnt live

The idea of age is a curse. It takes a person who is 20, who should be learning to appreciate how much they can enjoy living, and forces an unrealistic timeline on them based on what some superstar did once. And it tells the person who is 50 that their life is basically over, when it comes to transformation and achievement.
Remember this -
It takes a lot longer to grow an oak tree than it does to grow a weed.
Love yourself.
Bye.

That's nice and inspiring, but in reality most old people become fuglies, and nobody likes a fugly.cole grey said:The idea of age is a curse.
