In masters program b/c it is my first year, hoping to transfer out into PhD so by 21 I guess. Feels weird since most people in the lab are like in their 30's, are married, and even have kids. Also some have a million publications it seems.

Congrats to you leelee
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.
