You'll go through some bad jobs, but you'll additionally accept some fun times and accommodated some abundant new friends. You'll assuredly be Able to feel accustomed amid people. You won't feel so abandoned anymore. You're activity to move to the city, too! You'll alive in a tiny accommodation abutting to an art school, and you'll accept so abundant fun there.
You'll additionally accommodated the guy of your dreams (hint, hint, you apperceive him already!), and you'll get married. I apperceive - the babe who swore she'd never get married! You'll be acutely appropriately married, and you'll beam and smile everyday.
So, attending on the ablaze side! You accept so abundant to attending advanced to. Just adhere in there until aerial academy is over.
