Nice! I live in Sonoma County right now, I'm doing a winemaking internship for the rest of the summer. I used to go to palm spring with my grandparents all the time as a kid for vacation! Even though its hot as shit, I loved it there.
Yeah, I took a gap year and explored Europe last semester and fell in love with Germany. They have amazing college programs as well, so it makes it very tempting to go back. Right now I just cant decide what I want to follow as a career, but I think I may end up going in for Electrical Engineering but I'm not sure yet. We will see! I hope to meet this other person from Germany to get to know them!
