Dude.. we are 20 and 21 there is a great big world out there for us. we shouldn't wanna settle right now.. We should never hafta.. what good is it gunna do us to settle. We have soo much oppertunity right before us and we are at a time in our lives where we are supposed to be self envolved.. figuring out what we want and don't want in our jobs and our school and our relationships. now is our time.. and we need to take every oppertunity and learn for every experience cuz we are never getting them back..
