Default Cool. I just turned 20.

Ha, hey everyone. My... 11th post here? I decided to make a newbie thread after I've already made some posts. My birthday was just yesterday, and it's a bit shocking to notice that I've been on this earth for 2 decades now.

A little about myself
Born, raised Southern California
Current UCLA Bruin
Gonna be some kind of scientist in the future

Haha, I felt the same exact way when I turned 20 in September...it's weird to think about lol.

Welcome to EC!!!
And Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Any idea what kind of scientist you want to be?

And don't worry...I've been here for four years and still haven't made a newbie thread

Thanks! Happy rather belated birthday to you, too. Your pictures give me the kind of smiles I used to have as a little schoolboy.

I see myself as the kind of scientist who writes research grant proposals while working at an institution trying to better understand the molecular basis of human development. Hopefully not a bitter old man :P

and a late welcome to EC. You remind me of 10-year-old Anne of Green Gables lamenting how she would be so old when she was 20!

Lol am I really that late? And I thought I was young, seeing how the EC home page mentioned being what, 74 years old and still belonging. Indeed I wonder how many septuagenarians there are around this forum :]
