Just a reminder that the news thrives on negativity and misfortune. Today was no different, tomorrow will likely follow.

That's not to say that we should walk around pretending that everything is OK. We should be aware of the misfortunes and negativity, but don't lose focus and energy on it.

If you are reading this, then that means you still have a pulse.

Continue working on your alternatives. Take matters into your own hands. Focus your time and energy on the things you have control over. Take a break from the forum and come up with a game plan if you don't have one.

It's been nearly 17 years since Dream Act was introduced, yet there is no permanent solution. Don't let the window of opportunity close; wether that is in this country or another. Our time on this planet is scarce, live it up DREAMers.
