Grad school is a bit of a "maybe" (I'm doing CS as opposed to a hard science), but probably fruitful for my specific field of CS (data science). Should probably be seriously taking the GRE soon honestly. Not sure where to even go or how far my current 3.6 GPA will take me, though; if I'm failing to land internships even after successfully landing interviews, it's not exactly a whitepill.
And even if I do go to grad school, I wonder if I should just do it within driving distance of my metro area to save (mom's) money. Maybe my folks genuinely are "going broke because of [their] generosity which you're ungrateful for".
Being a grad student sounds icky though. Like some of those antisocial antifun puritan Chinese folks I roomed with were grad students (OK only 1 of them was but you get the point), and oh yeah, there was another "quiet" house I toured where the students were white but also grad students and kinda on the quiet side (who had high expectations for cleanliness etc.) And apparently the classes are filled with Indian and Chinese internationals.
I just feel like I'm suffering from a severe case of arrested development, and I have reason to believe that my parents bear a huge share of the responsibility (along with my school district, and the US itself). I feel as if I'm always sitting on the sidelines rather than actually playing on the field. I wanna get out there and actually live life. Play golf with a bunch of dudes, get wasted, have literally any kind of sex with the person of my dreams. The 0.5% chance of some attic fire happening is not nearly the catastrophe my overprotective mom thinks it is. Remember, we're talking about sb who can't even sit in the passenger seat of a car without getting motion sickness, or who forced me to wear a mask on a hiking trail in 2020 even though an outdoor mandate didn't exist because "the trail is less than 6 feet wide".
Avicii's dad wanted him to live a life he'd remember. Mine wants me to be a cuck.
