Within two weeks of arriving at Hampshire I had made some of the closest friends I've ever had - friends I still see and talk to all the time.
By the end of my time at Hampshire, I'd thrown myself into dozens of amazing learning experiences, from researching ancient sumer and writing a novella set there, to sticking electrodes on people's heads while researching punishing behavior. Plus collecting spit. I collected so much spit.
(I was measuring salivary hormone levels, if you must know.)
