You might hate the administration, but that doesn't mean you have the right to fling baseless accusations in their face without backing it up. Putting your name on a letter to the editor or a petition is the least you can do to back your story. It takes one person to believe in you for your entire life to change. Don't be afraid to be that one person for someone else. Doing what you love is the only way to spend your life.
Good friends are more important than money.
Anyone who tells you different has plenty of money and no friends. Figure out what you want early on in life and work at it like you are damn well entitled to it, because, in the end, it is as much yours as it is anyone else's. Listen to Journey. Everything you need to know about life is in there. If it's not, you don't need it.
