[nabs-l] Study abroad advise

[Corbb O'Connor]

If the money is already ready, turn it into a vacation with some  
friends! Nothing quite like a senior trip this summer or next winter  
break.

hello,
I really appreciate your advice for the future if I ever decide to go  
abroad with a group.
Unfortunately the trip to Europe has been canceled due to the effects  
of the economic crisis.
the economic crisis has taken a toll on the school because most of the  
study abroad trips are being canceled due to lack of funds.
I was very upset at first when I realized that the trip was canceled  
because that was my last chance to study abroad since I will graduate  
next year.
when I spoke to mom and gave her the news about the cancelation she  
was upset too because she had the money already and had plans, but it  
never happened.
this is the second time this happens at the school, why does it have  
to be this way.
mom also said "you will get another opportunity to study abroad in the  
future or when you settle in with a good job," but I don't think so  
because it is not the same as doing it while in college and still young.
this is why I want to start now because then I will outgrow the youth  
pretty soon and then its no more fun because what if I ever get  
married and have nice kids.
so, I really want to do things now since I am still in the prime years  
of youth, meaning in college or grad school because you learn more  
easily.
Actually certain areas of your brain don't stop developing until age  
25, so that's why  I need to take advantage of as much learning  
experiences so that when I  become older, it wouldn't be as difficult  
to retain things  at least in my personal opinion.
once you get to a certain age, its hard to keep everything in your  
head unless I am wrong.

anyway, I am sad by this unfortunate turn because that's the only  
opportunity I have in college once in a lifetime.
"you can't fight against the current, even if you would like to."

thank you all very much.
