1. Despite believing that I had magic powers of verbosity, I did significantly better on the math section of every standardized test I ever took.
2. When I started college, my declared major was journalism. Then I switched to pre-med. Then I flunked out! But they let me back in after some summer schooling. And I finished with degrees in Psychology and Public Health.
3. I have no compulsion to pursue an advanced degree, despite coming from two PhD parentals. The idea of volunteering for years of *homework* makes me shudder and phbbbt.

Hey! 1/3 of my degree is in journalism, but I don’t like it one bit at all even a tiny smidge. I am not cut out to care that much about everything.
Yeah, the homework thing pretty much sucks.
Ditto on the double PhD parentals and not caring a smidge about going further than a BA, but I also have the pleasure of 3 sisters with advanced degrees making me look like the reject in the bunch (doctor, lawyer, librarian… I am officially the Indian chief)
