They tell me, “You get what you put into it.” Maybe that means Hopkins is not right. I don’t feel motivated at all. Don’t tell me it’s me. Two of my main post-it’s say, “Complacency is my biggest enemy,” and, “What do you want? Take it.” It’s not me; it’s this place. I need to go somewhere I feel motivated and ambitious, even if it’s not as academically prestigious.

It’s not worth it for $40k a year. I had a half ride to USC. If I was a little more than half as happy at USC, I’d be getting more for my dollar. Food for thought.
