[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just be normal? "Hey Gavin, how's school going?"

Then he can say "Great! You know what else is great? This dip Aunt Wendy made. I'm going to get more. Want anything?" if he doesn't want to talk about it.

Or he can say "It's okay. I'm a little bummed - I was supposed to graduate this year but because of the pandemic I wound up a year behind so am going to be a super senior." And then you can be kind and say "You're always super in my book, Gavin! And LOTS of people fell behind because of the pandemic - don't worry about it." [/quote]

Yeah no. I went to HYP and graduated a year late due to a combination of mental health issues and adding a second major. I make quarter of a million dollars now at age 35 and I could have made more if I hadn’t kind of mommy-tracked myself.[/quote]

No, you didn’t. Because if you did you’d realize when we’ll over 90% of your classmates graduated on time, your fifth year was not “common” or was in fact “odd”.[/quote]
