Ideas for school

Study abroad, or not study abroad? Hong Kong it would be, but would definitely need to find subletters for the house.

I could become a major leader while in school, take internships and have jobs that make MULA.

Look at grants, grant centers, the different things that school has to offer.


I shouldnt study abroad. Although it Does look valuable, I can apply for grants that will boost my resume during vacations to far away countries. I should just stay in school and be a boss. Which means I need to find extra curriculars and outlets that I will commit myself to!

Brady the psychic said that I will be very successful and that I will do some kind of social work and have lots of land. Should I be a lawyer for a few years, a social lawyer and then do anything? I mean I can basically do anything! There are so many different possibilities.
