Hey,

I know it's a hard way. I know you wanna give up at some point...but only at some point right? You will survive no matter how hard it is. You might know nothing about what you future is like, but you know you will survive. Remember this.

Whoa. I must have a hard time then. The very first quarter at Northwestern. Totally overwhelmed by the intensity here. Now I'm much better and start to enjoy it. As for me, it takes more guts to drop out. I just don't dare to do that.
