Cool. I just turned 20.

Discussion in 'The Welcome Lounge' started by phospholipase, Jan 7, 2012.

  1. 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 :thumbsup:

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

    Welcome to EC!!! :welcome:
    And Happy Belated Birthday!!! :grin:

    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 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
     
  3. 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 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    :birthday: 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!
     
  5. 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 :]

    I didn't begin to feel "old" until I turned 22.
