How much have you changed before and after Uni?

Topic pretty much says it all. How much have you guys changed since graduating uni & working a year or two after? I'll start:


Pros:

  • More independent (although it was pretty much like this during Uni)

  • I think I am more informed about what goes on in the world?

  • Less pretentious/ tryhard 

  • Less cocky, used to be overconfident af 

  • A lot more empathetic, had toxic masculinity two years back


Cons:

  • Generally less motivated/ excited 

  • Scared of Birds

  • More impatient 

  • More ego (I hate this so much, before uni I could do the most embarrassing shit in the world without giving a f, but now I feel so self conscious)

  • Communicate lesser with friends/ losing touch
