Believe it or not, you were in undergrad at OSU at the same time as my mom. When I was in my early teens she took it upon herself to go back to school and get the college experience she missed out on after high school. I spent a lot of time on that campus as a result, which certainly instilled in me a love for the academic environment. Now that I'm here in that environment for myself I don't ever want to leave, which likely explains why I'm still in school. I could stop here with the Master's degree and get out into the real world, but I'm probably going to get the PhD and end up in research.
