“I was homeschooled from fifth grade into college. I had, like, no normal social interactions with kids my own age” Spiranac said. And maybe that was the reason she had to struggle too much when she finally got into college. Describing her experience, she said, “Got to college, it was brutal for me. I was bullied. I took a long time just, like, figuring life out.”
