To be honest, I could use some fast forwarding through this awful fall semester too. But, I keep reminding myself, that these are the years where we'll be young, and free, and mildly unattached. I will be begging for this precious time back.

I realized I didn't want to study something that sure would get me a stable job, but not something that I hated. So why not switch my major. I had been considering law school for a good
