<p>[ /list][ b]General Comments:[ /b]
Life is an adventure. It really sucks when your dream breaks, trust me, I know exactly how it feels.
But you gotta put yourself together and move on, no matter how tough/bad/horrible life can be.
Believe in yourself, if you are an awesome person, you gonna do awesome stuff wherever you go.
I remember a line in 17 Again, quite inspiring for me.
" When you are young, everything feels like the end of the world. But it’s not, it’s just the beginning."</p>

<p>Yep, tell yourself " I’m amazing and I know it."</p>

<p>Best of luck to everyone!</p>
