TIFU by not requesting my university records or communicating with anyone for 19 years and thus not knowing i finished my degree in 2007

My university transcript says I graduated in 2007; I just never looked at it. I called the administration for confirmation. I knew I had finished the requisite credit hours and I had done multiple internships. I had a huge portfolio but I thought I never submitted it. I remember meeting with my adviser to discuss the finalities of graduation. But shortly after finishing the last two general education requirements, I had a massive catastrophic nervous breakdown and was involuntarily hospitalized, so maybe I don't remember everything. I have an inordinate ability to functionally shut down and ignore responsibilities. Yes, I never had children! Instead of dealing with these basic things I traveled the country in a station wagon with my lover and for years we lived off-grid in the desert. I was a long haul truck driver and supervisor at an emergency call center, not at the same time. Too many adventures to list. Not sure what else I would have done, knowing I had the degree, but I never felt comfortable fraudulently claiming to have finished that part of my education. It's a wild feeling. As I'm sure will be suggested, I plan to pay for an official transcript/document. I don't even owe library fines!

The Killings at Parrish Station

Spooky Australian crime show/police procedural? I've only seen the first ep. I don't typically care for stories with allusions to the supernatural, clairvoyance, etc. Too much bullshit explanations to move the story along. But this one visually hits really well and acting-wise.

The creator and at least one actor are on a DnD podcast I enjoy, Dragon Friends.
