am I in college? absolutely. for the money? absolutely not. I'll never get a job. I'm literally just in it for my parents. and like, they only came here for me to go to college. so basically, if I don't go to college, they'll kind of feel like they took all those sacrifices and built brick by brick for absolutely no reason. and I don't want them to feel like that. and I think I could honestly just kill two birds with one stone.
