it's at times like these where i sit around and dream of post-college life. i'm starting to think that i'll never be happy. i hated elementary school, but i don't remember what they told me. i hated elementary school, and people told me high school would be better. i hated high school, and people told me i'd love college. and now i hate ( Read more... )
