“What are your plans going forward?”
When I graduated I had no plans/opportunities for the future and spent the next three years as a NEET but recently I’ve been working on getting a boyfriend and making enough money to see a therapist.
“Would you do anything differently in hindsight?”

Take solace in the fact that the real world is not like academia.
In the real world, you’re encouraged to use your resources and relying solely on your memory is seen as asinine.
