For me, I rely a lot on the states money right now, but considering I could probably earn a lot of money in the future an WILL pay my taxes they should pay the bill. So in a way I'm sleeping on Sweden's couch right now.

But my friends... I recently started talking to my freshman best friend again and it happened so naturally. The conversation just floated on. My two freshman best friends are together right now. And just had their fourth anniversary. And I'm lowkey flirting with his little sister. So if everything goes my way we could become an "actual" family. Which would be nice. And kinda awkward. But nice.

And I've always been a favorite of teachers. Smart kids who like keeping rules usually are. So while I wouldn't consider them "family" they would catch me if I fell. (I thought we might as well keep the net metathaphor going)
