It isn’t easy coming of age in the modern era. Young Millenials begin their adult lives by indenturing themselves for important-sounding degrees, like a dual Bachelors in Art History & Creative Writing, specializing in the Swedish Renaissance Era, with emphasis on early feminists. This is much more tricky than it sounds.
