haha, won’t it be funny if i got into a masters program for cybersecurity or health sciences, then later do a doctorate in nursing, get a high paying job in cybersecurity (or even nursing), leave this country for good and own a house?

hahaha

Thought some might want a heads-up.

The cold is coming. The winter monsters are awakening. The trees are dying. Things are decaying. Animals in the woods are eating the flesh from last night’s sacrifices. Don’t get it twisted, my friends: November is also all about horror.
