All my overthinking and conversation simulation in my mind was considering only 3 people at max. Now I don't know how to react anymore.
went to a late night museum thing and it was like extremely packed out and I was expecting something way more low key.
Went to a study session put on by one of the TA's... seemed like the whole class showed up also. It was a ~300 person lecture and the session was held in on old bio lab meant for maybe 20 people.
I didn't even go inside, just turned around and almost ran away.
