Lately, I’ve been thinking about what my dream life would be. In a perfect world, I will graduate high school with straight A’s and go to Columbia University in Manhattan. I will study abroad in Europe while I am there. I’ll do work study all 4 years so that way I graduate with no debt and I’ll get a job either in Manhattan, on the outskirts of the city, or in California (preferably socal or in the middle part). I’ll start off making six figures (again, perfect world) and I’ll be in a job that I love and that I’m excited to go to every day. I’ll go on vacation out of the country with my friends two or three times a year for at least two weeks at a time. Eventually, I’ll be able to afford a Lamborghini, and it’s gonna either be yellow or orange. I’ll eventually get married and have kids, and live a long happy life.
