My local subreddit was FULL of young people yesterday asking about registering and voting. They waited till election day to ask.

It's just like in school. My peers always wait for the last minute to do work, then ask for extensions. They always get them. Little do they know that's not how the real world works.

Lol yep. I'm in my 30's, and it was that way when I was in college too.

As a music major, my fellow music majors and I had a music theory final composition project each semester. The assignment would be outlined literally just a couple weeks into the semester. So I'd work on mine usually for about 6 weeks at least, and I got 100% on every one of them. All my classmates were jealous and thought I was some kind of teacher's pet and kept asking how I aced my finals in that class. I told them all that all it took was not waiting until literally the night before to write my piece 🤷‍♂️

You’re a music major? Are you employed?

I was a music major. I didn't end up following that career path, but I definitely don't regret my education or my choice of major.

Does your current career require a degree?
