to anyone out there who stumbles across this blog...

As two girls who grew up together, were torn apart, reunited and now on two sides of the globe, we find ourselves faced with the same prospects.
Having not been accepted to university after a 4 year hiatus, we've hit a bit of a quarter life crisis.
Most 22 year olds have already completed a degree and have some idea as to where they are headed, and yet we still have wild dreams of hitchhiking to outer Mongolia or starting a rap duo and now sincerely wonder whether any university will have us.

Having hit this road block, we have decided that maybe sharing our experiences will offer us some enlightenment, or that maybe we need to make something out of this desperate situation.
"l'arte d'arrangiarsi : the art of making something out of nothing."

So now we are faced with two choices, do we resign to the fact that we may end up poor and desolate; two bag ladies wandering the streets, collecting mementos of a life we dreamed about but never avidly pursued? Or do we grasp at any loose strand and try to weave something together, to find new vigour and follow our dreams?

"To be or not to be? That is the question!"
