Although I focused on Cultural Anthropology, I still enjoyed linguistics and paleontology. I now know the reason school was so difficult for me was not because I was stupid, but the trauma, which has made it difficult to process everything in my life. Anyway, I especially like the videos of Erika, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJNcAH2yzV3VAMYIGxCZ8_w\">Gutsick Gibbon<\/a>, a a current PhD student in Biological Anthropology, who also makes videos on YouTube.
