Plus the never-stated but not-quite-secret that uncontrollable factors like genetics and mouth chemistry dictate a lot of what's going to happen, regardless of how well you care for your teeth...

Don't discount how much the things that made you a social pariah in public school make you unique and interesting by the time you hit your mid-twenties. I played a lot of varsity sports which shielded me from much of the abuse, but oth

Most programs also have a time limit for completion, around 4 years for a Masters and 7 for a PhD. I did my Master's part-time while working and it was brutal to work full-time then head to class for 3+ hours several times a week, or h
