My answers:

If money was no object, what would be one dream you would fulfill, or one great act or thing you would do? - I'm a avid fan of youtube/film-making, and I'd take this chance to make whatever the hell I could think of that would that I think would leave a great story to help inspire a generation or two.

Tell us the story of the happiest memory you can think of. - Recent memory? I met Toby Turner (Tobuscus) at Comic Con in 2011 and he was so stoked to see someone wearing his shirt that he snuck me into comic con and hung out with me and my friend Ben for 3 hours. But my happiest memory is an odd one. I met my best friend Brianna at a Store Meeting when we were in our college job, and I can still remember that chick wearing a headband and thinking to myself "Who does this hippie chick think she is?!" 

You have twenty four hours and the comfiest, most decked out, living room you can think of. What show, movie, or game would you spend your time consuming? - Scrubs is going to be playing on the 72" screen TV thanks to a PS4, there's a pool table that my friends are at and I'd be at a mid-kitchen/living-room bar with my best friends playing drunk Jenga. Legend Status.

What is your go to morning food or snack? - A Starbucks Everything Bagel w/creme cheese, or a bowl of cereal.

Have you ever gotten kicked out of store or restaurant? If yes, tell us how it happened. - Lame, but thanks to an ex refusing to toss out her fro-yo at a movie theater, we got kicked out (and the fro-yo got trashed too. Was soooooo pissed).

Did the city or town you grow up in have a reputation for something? Maybe you were cowboys, maybe you had the best curly fries. - Being from Mammoth Lakes... we're a Ski-town. And a bunch of arrogant assholes who couldn't make it in a city (most from LA)

What was your favorite animated movie as a child? - TOSS UP. 101 Dalmatians Robin Hood, or Sword in the Stone.

I triple dog dare you to yell the word PINEAPPLE as loud as you can RIGHT NOW. Did anyone hear you? Did you even do it? - At Starbucks, I counted 8 people who glared at me. 3 asked why. 1 Guy laughed and said "dude... it's like a G rated 500 Days of Summer in here!"

Do you have specific colors you like to wear, or you think make you look awesome? - I look good in Reds, Dark Blues, and Black. Wish I could wear Greens or Purples more often.

When was the last time you received a letter, and what was it for, or what did it say? - Last Letter was from an ex. 3 front and back pages telling me how wonderful I am. *sigh*

Do you have any plans for New Years? Or, if you are doing this after New Years, how did you spend the night? - Does dinner with a friend count if it was the night before NYE? Cuz I was too tired to do anything for NYE itself lol

First off, I'm speaking in terms of a Filipino culture point of view. Which may be the same (or not) for everybody else.

Going to College (or University) is very, very, very, important in our society. This is not my personal view on it, given the fact that I attended two universities and have a minor and a bachelor's degree. Our society just makes a huge deal out of it. Because...... We always have to be 'better'.

I don't even want to go about saying why it is the way it is, because it is most likely the same for everybody, everywhere (or not). But, what I can tell you is my personal take on it. And maybe, I'll try my hardest to be concise about it as possible. 

Do I think College is important?

Yes. And No. The safe route is to say "It depends...." Depends on what? On what kind of career you plan to be in. You obviously can't be a doctor without attending a school for it.

BUT...

I obviously can't speak for everybody, but there are some careers out there that you can learn off of the internet. Take for example, being a writer. You can attend (and pay for) all the courses on how to be a writer, or how to write better, but you are still going to end up writing what YOU want, what YOU think, and you will be writing YOUR own way, and in YOUR own time. 

Is College necessary? 

Well... a lot of people, mostly employers, take College into account. But again, I don't speak for everybody, everywhere. In The Philippines, there are a lot of jobs that you can go for without needing degree, which is great! Because not a lot of people can afford college but a lot of people need a job. 

But then again most of these jobs are minimum wage and require more time, more physical strength and more experience. I can talk more about this some other time. 

Should I go to College?

Like most kids who grew up in a Filipino household, I was expected to go to College. Not going to College would mean my failure and my parents failure. A lot of people talk about how dropping out of College, or not going to College at all, is like a personal failure. In every Filipino's point of view it's as much as a parent's failure. 

Maybe failure is a strong word to describe it but our society makes us feel like it is. When most young people feel like they got bullied by their parents into attending College and get a certain degree, think about how your parents got bullied by a society that makes such a hype about a piece of paper that we strive so hard to get but mostly can't afford. 

So, saying all this, should you go to College? Hell yeah! If you have the means to attend one go ahead, get a degree. I do think that a College experience is irreplaceable. BUT don't waste your parent's money. It's enough to waste your time but don't go all double jeopardy and waste your parent's hard earned money. 

So what can I advice you to do? 

I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said already. If you want an advice, there are so many people on the internet who can give you their piece of mind for free. If you want a more personal touch talk to someone who went to College and hated it. Talk to someone who loved College. Talk to people about College, I'm sure you know someone. 

Sure, life is all about doing what makes you happy and stuff but there are some things that are not so happy all the time but you still get something out of it..... like College. Sometimes, you just have to create your own entertainment. 

When someone says, "You are not any better just because you have a degree", that is partly true or 100% true, I don't know. The important thing is you become relevant by what you do and what you put to the table. Life is all about proving about how you can do this and how you can do that, not for someone else's benefit, but your own.
