The author believes that their peers have not had the opportunity to attend university due to various reasons, and therefore, they find it strange for them to be "studying" at their age. The author was the first in their family to attend university and is currently pursuing a master's degree. They mention that their mother often brings up the topic of working and earning a living, but the author feels that they have the luxury of dedicating themselves fully to their studies without the pressure of finding a job immediately. The author also shares an experience where they declined to participate in a competition due to lack of time to study, which led to an indignant response from a friend. To avoid further discussions, the author suggests ignoring the matter and focusing on completing their thesis in a peaceful environment.
