Nice collection!
Also just started college too.
It's cool you're going into plant science! I've considered doing a career in plants, but for now am majoring in biology and then I can decide what I want to do after.
Good luck regarding your college journey!
Word of advice to you college-aged people:
1) don't get a bullshit degree like I did with no practical applications in real life, get something you can apply somehow, unless it's a very employable field
2) academia is largely made up of people looking to establish a career, not to add to the human body of knowledge
and the most important, something I wish people told me:
3)
networking is more important than being smart - don't look down on partying a bit, even if you're an introvert; all the knowledge in the world won't open doors that other people gatekeep. People prefer to collaborate with people they like and have a rapport with
Biology is what I wish I majored in, though. Big mistake on my part so I feel compelled to warn people, though it looks like Gen Z has figured it out where as Millennials naively believed that a degree was the be-all, end-all.
