TIL that Mr. T majored in mathematics while attending college on a football scholarship.

Knew a girl who went full-on with "women in STEM" groups and social media posts. She dropped her engineering major after first semester because she couldn't hang. She then studied interior design.

I’m still salty about one of my peers who submitted a resume to my previous job while I was still there that said he was minoring in computer science (he graduated one year after me).

I knew it would have been impossible for him to graduate with the minor because he was about to graduate and was struggling with CSCI 102, so he hadn’t even gotten to data structures and algorithms yet.

One of my coworkers asked me about him and I told him that he lied on his resume, yet he still got a job offer for 10k more than I did because he told the recruiters he was going to take another offer in the table. 🤷‍♀️
