@aral you were a Harvard student at the time? This is quite out of context.. -
@DeviaVir I meant users. I was accepted at Harvard but my family didn’t have the funds to pay for it (foreign student fees). -
@aral That is true. I'm sorry to hear that... but I think you turned out fine nonetheless. -
@DeviaVir Hah, thanks — yeah, was bummed out about it at the time but I’m happy with who I am at the moment :) -
@aral Who would we be without some shattered dreams, eh?
