I absolutely love your videos! They are very informative and also inspiring. I intend to apply to Cambridge for studying physics, and your videos are my biggest motivation right now. Thank you so much for doing all of this, you are amazing. Btw: I love Jesus College it’s gorgeous.

[@indranilbanik3424]

I did the same courses at Cambridge in my second year, this brought back so many memories for me! I was at Trinity College, but visited the boat house she mentions - though not at that sort of time of day. I'm now doing a postdoc in astrophysics after a PhD in it from Saint Andrews. I've always been very committed to physics, but honestly don't think I was as committed as Paige - I left the tutorial problems until nearer the deadline. I don't think I ever did them straight after the lecture, though that might be because it took time for the concepts to sink in. Personally, I valued understanding everything in the notes more than answering the questions (though both are important and actually go together). The bit about the maths lecture theatre being crowded is just how I remember it - I think it wasn't really small, but more people took the course as it's important not just to physicists. Anyway, I have some happy memories of my 2nd year at Cambridge, when I was actually representing the students taking the physics A course - I remember getting about 80 votes vs 70 for the other candidate. Along with the rep for physics B, we collected feedback from students, not just on forms but by talking to them and most importantly just by listening (as students often talk about the course whether I ask them or not). I like to think I did my best, and honestly think that year was one of the best in my whole degree. Though not as good as my third year, when I finally got to do astrophysics full time. But not many people took it, so it was a bit isolating - I had lots more people to talk to in my 2nd year.

You guys should really be grateful for the opportunity to study at Cambridge. I imagine it is very stimulating studying with best of the best students, getting top notch lectures from dedicated teachers. It's gotta be a transformative experience

[@indranilbanik3424]

@ Yes, it was a transformative experience, and I am very grateful for the opportunity.

Mellow yy I agree. University isn’t a guarantee for a prosperous future! I think it’s more about luck and certain opportunities. Also not everybody has the means to go to an university (money is just one of those means). I wanted to be a professional Latin American dancer, but unfortunately I was born poor to my single mother who is unemployed because of her mental illness. I was taking regular classes but I just couldn’t afford to make a life out of it because I had do work instead of dancing all the times :( at 26 I’m still heartbroken about this. I now work at a fancy local coffee shop/brunch kind of restaurant/bar, but this was never my dream, although I like the job. My second dream is to be a writer. I’m now debating whether to study English or become a therapist for kids with psychological issues. We’ll see ... but yeah, life doesn’t always go according to plans. Lucky are those that have healthy parents and are not struggling financially - with a strong will anything is possible! But we are not all the same! We have different paths in life and that’s okay! I had trouble reconciling with that thought I was so disappointed with my life .... but not anymore. It’s not worth it. I can still make something meaningful in my life for ME.
