If it was a school in a city, that would be less of a concern. Thus the looking into MCAD. Still, it seems dumb to postpone future job plans just to spend a year "soul searching" or "interacting with regular people" or some other higher educated upperclass nonsense idea. I dunno. I DUNNO. Gahhh guess I'll move home with ma and pa. 'Cause THAT'S responsible. Alison: Oh yay! It would be great if you were around! And it's great to know that I'm not alone in the moving-back-home idea. Goldfeather: I sure do hope we live closer together at SOME point in the future. I still feel so uncertain about my plans... Money has become such a huge, huge factor. It's like senior year when I was all "OMG I GOT INTO TISCH!!!" for like a week and then reality sunk in as I realized there was absolutely NO WAY I could pay for it. Of the six schools I applied to, Hampshire was the only one that both accepted me and offered me enough financial aid. So...here I am. And now the college thing's almost over so...back home I go. It's not that Hampshire was a bad school, nor is moving home a bad option for now, but I just hate it that it feels like money was the determining factor. kingsamj: SPEAKING OF MONEY, what are doing moving back home??? You've built yourself a decent nest egg, right? And you have seriously marketable job skills, right? I am baffled by this turn of events! Phoebe: Hooray, I'm glad you like the comic! And I'm SO glad I'll be seeing you soon! I have season 3 of Big Love waiting for you. William: Oh man, thank you so much for all those kind words! Right now I feel like I just wasted four years of my life and don't have a single useful marketable skill to show for it. But I'm excited to hear that you've picked a school and REALLY, REALLY, REALLY excited to hear that you're staying in the cities! I think I'm committed to living at home for at least awhile (I've already been applying to jobs), but keep me in mind in case some roommate leaves you halfway through next year or something. I wonder what kind of housemates we would be??? WEIRD. Ian: Thank you!! Yeah, I definitely intend to visit you guys next year. Conversations in your living room are like an antidote to haters. Ben: GOOD. I hope that means you're committed to living in Minneapolis next year. Dad: Oh my GOD, thanks for alerting me to one of the most depressing articles of all time! Jesus CHRIST, I want to just give up and kill myself now! If I do, I will be citing that article in my suicide note. Danno: Oh man, if I do a collection of Minnesota-related comics, I should totally turn this into a cover! And yeah, I'll see you if you go to the next St Paul jam! Jon: Thanks! It's good to be back. I hope Cahoots has been a nice change. Tabitha: Yeah, the idea of being in another tiny academic bubble makes me nervous. If it was a school in a city, that would be less of a concern.
