one day you will probably be living in a box? (facebook group) Check all that apply: You picked a major you actually enjoy. Examples include: English, Voice, Dance, History, Art... The starting salary is less than the cost of a Kia. People have said to you: So, what do you plan on doing with that? or Do you plan on eating? or just plain.... Aahahahahahahaha!!!! Your parents have threatened to slaughter you. Psh, I hear cardboard boxes can be pretty dang comfortable. *cough* ...Let the breeze come in....
