As much as I agree that students including myself are more likely to misjudge these situations than more experienced products of academia, the thought of admitting to inevitably bad decisions makes me cringe. If myself and others in similar circumstance yield our own inspirations in favor of others' wise words, we'll be throwing passion and ambition to the ground. Although I accept that students are statistically better off under advice of elders, I purposely ignore the fact, assuring myself of my own self-motivation and curiosity. Thank you for the reply. I really do appreciate your honest comments.
