X Bubbler: Do you ask WHY? Reflections on everything uni.

Sunday, July 2, 2017

Do you ask WHY? Reflections on everything uni.

1.
Just chill!

This 2017 commencement speaker studied Mechanical engineering (commonsense?) and Accounting (obsolescence?) at AUC. What was the point?

2.
The three-horned bull, whenever you're ready.

3.
The why of studying education?

Question everything, even the foundations.
