Dogs lose their marbles too
We are all rusting away. Rusting is an oxidative reaction. All of our life systems are powered by oxidative reactions. It is the reason we breathe, to inhale more oxygen to keep those reactions going, burning fuel to provide energy for life. Sometimes they get out of control, especially when chemical by-products called free radicals are produced. Read more

normally again. Thanks for all your help!
think), a job, a social life, and then you'll have YOURSELF and the place you are living at to care for (probably for the first time in your life you will have to do ALL chores and ALL work.)Go for a year, see what happens. A lot of colleges pile the work
on first ear to weed out those who are serious and those who are not. Which means you're in for a TON of work. A lot of colleges also don't allow freshmen to live on their own in apartments (they require dorm living or at-hom living with parents) and very
FEW dorms allow pets.After your first year you can consider an apartment and bringing your pets with you. But you HAVE to do what is best for them and i don't think living in a tiny apartment or dorm while you're at work/classes 8 hours a day is it.
