so i am going to start applying to colleges this fall and i have a few in mind. one is across the country. i live on the east coast and want to go to the west coast. i'm really nervous to do it though. i really want to be in the entertainment business and i feel that being closer to L.A. while i go to college would help me out.
do you think i should do it? im worried that i wont make friends because i havent made a new friend since middle school. please advise me lol

Yeah, going to college in an area totally unknown to you and away from family is hard. I wouldn't know from experience but I have a couple friends who have done it. Don't worry about not making friends, follow your dreams! If going to L.A is REALLY what you want, then don't let anything stop you. OF COURSE, study hard and make sure that your money isn't going to waste. Take up sports, clubs, anything and I guarantee you will meet new people, new friends, etc. Good luck, :D
