I'm planning on leaving New Jersey again a lot sooner than everyone thinks. But I don't even know when.

LOL!! I guess great minds think alike! ;D Mashed potatoes are incrediably delicious. My ex-roommate from Montana and I both got the idea to go to Hawaii, but she's going 15 days from now, and I don't know when I'm going.

When are you planning on going? England is definitely on the list of places I want to go in my lifetime, but not until I've gone to Hawaii...and first get my passport.

Not sure what your parents would think about this (and I'm SURE the thought has crossed your mind at least a million times already), but how about going to college there?

What about scholarships from your possible school and just in general? I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't look into all possible scholarships before I went to school. It's strange what some people will give money for. Like being left-handed. If a member of your family was/is in the military, you could get money for that. There's seriously a lot of money out there to be had, you just have to know where to look for it. And to give you an idea of my financial situation, I have probably 30K (or more) that I'll need to pay back for my four years at school. That's what financial aid and loans are for. I'll be paying out the nose for the rest of my life, but I was able to go to a school that was over $20,000 a year. That number boggles the mind (at least it does for me) because it's such a HUGE amount. But what I think you should do is not rule out a school just because it's expensive--most of them are!! And also keep in mind that overseas schools tend to give out more financial aid to foreigners because they want that diversity. So just do your research and try to keep an open mind without becoming too excited about it, in case it doesn't work out. But just imagine how much you will hate yourself 10-20 years from now if you don't at least try. Trying never hurt anyone. And just to make your life easier, because I've made this mistake before and I can tell you that it's a bad one to make...DON'T tell your parents that you're researching this. You know them better than I do, obviously, but since you're just checking things out and nothing is written in stone, it would be a shame for such a fledgling idea to be squashed when it's at its most innocent and vulnerable stage.
*steps off the soap box*
