I am planning on studying business and/or international studies. I would love to live and work in a Spanish/Portuguese speaking country. I am not sure if I'd rather study in Latin America or Europe. I would prefer to live in Europe where I could be open with my atheism.

don't take this personally— I hate you. now that I said that, I don't hate you. I'm just going to be in debt for a long time.
congrats, that's awesome, I'm half Portuguese, but I can't tell you anything— I know how to say a bald headed turtle. spell it, I can't.
