Not all the time, no. Not even most of the time. Been there, done that, couldn't afford the stamp on the postcard.
College is kinda strange at first? You don't have as many classes, but you're in them for longer, and nobody's really taking attendance because you're paying to be there whether you're actually THERE or not. The homework's hell, too, depending on things. But mostly, nobody's holding your hand - whether you make it or not really depends on you.

Good to know. I'm still on the fence on going. Probably just gonna pass on it, to be honest. If it's up to me to decide I think I'd rather go right into work instead, though that also sounds like a hassle.
That's a shame. I guess if you find any that seem decent to you, throw me a line yeah? I might consider it if someone else says they're okay and has experience with this kind of thing.
Oh my god can I just say that them calling us "Different" is just the most annoying thing ever? Couldn't they have given it a much cooler name like, idk Chosen Ones or something? Better than just DIFFERENT.
It's up to you, really. If you wanna do something specialized, you might miss it, but you can always come back to it later, if you really need to. I'm still kinda trying not to think about work, but I'm right with you on the hassle thing.
Of course, now I have a memory of someone else in my head, which is ALSO a hassle. And not really helping my existing hassles.
Yeah, you’re right. I could go into university later if I need to. 😺*
Riiiight? Those of us in school don’t need extra stuff to weigh us down. Whatever this social experiment is, it needs to be better at choosing who it’s gonna mess with.
[[[ooc: not sure if the *cat smile emoji embedded right, but be happy to know Lisa is the first person on the network to earn an emoji from this kid.]]]
Yep! The one nice thing about universities being a paid thing, is that they don't usually turn away money.
Well... who's to say it's choosing at all? It might be random. Or it might even be linked to something else. We still don't know enough, and that's still the biggest problem, I think.
Random makes more sense. I don't see why they else they would want some dumb kid like me in their scheme, unless they're planning to traffic me or something.
I'm not sure that's even good to joke about. Somebody's going to get punched in the face if they try that. I'll even help. So no, let's assume that's off the table. It's random, but there are still factors. Range, scale, epicenter... We could probably figure that kinda stuff out if we wanted to.
Ngl, I was only half joking. I really, really don’t get why they’d target someone like me, except for the fact I wouldn’t be missed if I suddenly disappeared.
That aside, I’m not even sure how we’d go about getting that information. I know the bureau said they’d answer some questions but do you think they’d even bother telling us the full truth? They’ve been around for a while but I hadn’t even heard of them until this month.
