I used to be able to do tests and not be nervous and barely study
after some (one?) close call though, now I get nervous and feel obligated to study a bit even for tests which realistically will be easy

Right now the plan is to go for the degree solely so I donā€™t forget what I learned. But I ever actually utilized my degree though I would definitely miss the kind of work I do now. Thereā€™s nothing like it. Itā€™s always physically or psychologically exhilarating, or both.

I had a lab final in a programming class and I totally wouldā€™ve done bad if it werenā€™t for reviewing how to do csvs in java hours before

Thereā€™s also the question of if Iā€™ll be able to function in a white collar environment. It will definitely be hard for me to let go of being able to yell at my colleagues.
