Ageist

Recently I've been researching masters degrees in America, and getting really stressed out that I'll a) lost my social life and b) be really old by the time I get to do my masters. These are actually things that have gone through my mind:


- What if my fellow masters students don't like to get drunk mid-week?
- What if there is no time to get drunk mid-week?
- By the time I'll be finished my masters degree (and may or may not be finished with tertiary education - depending on if I find a job I like or not) I will be like. 27 or 28. That means I would have wasted from the age of eighteen to twenty eight on university. Even worse, on gender studies. My youth will be behind me.
- What if masters students in New York don't smoke weed?

See? I'm not worried I won't get in or that moving to a different country will be scary slash incredibly expensive. I'm worried I won't be able to get inordinately drunk mid-week, pass out on a friends couch and wake up, go to class, smoke a joint, write some thesis.

Maybe it's easier for me to stay in Melbourne..
