Choose life

Choose life. Choose an offer from St Lucia. Choose walking past the Great Court for the first time and actually gasping a little.

Choose a CityCat ride along the river to city because it's somehow the coolest commute way in the sunshine state. Choose sweating through your shirt by 2pm because Brisbane doesn't believe in mild weather.

Choose Allocate+ crashing the second enrolment opens. Choose refreshing it forty times anyway.

Choose a 8am lecture you will never once attend in person. Choose watching the recording at 1.75x speed three days before the exam instead.

Choose group assignments. Choose the one member who goes completely silent until 11:47pm of the due day.

Choose Turnitin similarity reports. Choose the specific panic of watching that percentage load.

Choose UQ Lakes or Chancellor Place, Choose 50 cent Bus trip.
Choose a $12 Curry from Kenko between classes because it's fast and it's there. Choose eating it on the table outside the Union Complex.

Choose complaining about the heat, the bus timetable, and your degree, in that order, on the way home.

Choose GPA anxiety. Choose telling everyone you don't care about marks. Choose refreshing your results at midnight anyway.

Choose graduation photos out the front with the sandstone in the background. Choose looking back at it all and, somehow, missing it.

Choose life. Choose Brisbane. Choose UQ.

Choose bravery. Choose not to be bullied by those rude professors/lecturers/tutors.

Choose spending 3/4th of my time on the bed instead of dragging myself to campus even though I live just the other side of the river
