I hesitated for ~2 mins hitting send on the above tweet because it might seem a little bit like bragging or kinda condescending or mean in some way, but I honestly mean it in a neutral, straightforward sense – and I'd have killed as a kid to have heard that there were ppl like me

to go into some detail – here's a blogpost I wrote in 2015 for other kids like me. it's very... Singaporean-focused, but you can discern the underlying principles http://visakanv.com/1000/0289-what-to-do-if-youre-stuck-in-the-singaporean-education-system-and-you-hate-it/ …pic.twitter.com/kAWzUKLnvX

loosely 1. reduce your burn rate to as close to 0 as possible (live with others, learn to cook) 2. work any shit job you get that gives you $ 3. save as much as you can 4. create as much public-facing creative output as you can 5. ask the best ppl you know for advice

"that sounds difficult and scary" ok then ignore me and go to school this is for people who don't want to go to school. if you don't wanna live in the zoo, you have to learn how to survive in the wild

~2012 I made a pro and cons list about university a thing I said was "I'm going to make friends with professors and hang out with them socially", which my friends (and random strangers in my comments) scoffed at I think I have like ~50-100 profs and phds following me nowpic.twitter.com/o0r8CQ2sJN

It also differs so much from professor to professor. There are some generalizations and patterns, but they aren't a homogenous group. I.e., you could use it to argue it'll be tricky to hang out with profs, but not that you'll be unable to find any profs to do so.

contingent on you meeting a professor theyre probably down for making friends profs who dont want friends dont go out in public
