“In high school, I had fun in my academic clubs, watching movies with my girlfriends, learning Latin, having long, protracted, unrequited crushes on older guys who didnâ€™t know me, and yes, hanging out with my family.

You pretty much have only eighteen years to spend with them full time, and thatâ€™s it.”
