What advice would you give high school students considering seeking a college degree through Say Yes?
When going to college, you need to think about why you are even there to begin with. Whether you are at a school to party and have fun, obtain your education through grasping information, attempting to find reliability, or feel a sense of achievement. You, as an individual paying to be on that campus, should try to consider what you are about to use that money for.
Anything else you want to add? (Fun facts, etc.)

This is hypothetical and theoretical but could possibly be simulated using the software. Examining quanta of energy is hard when all the particles you want to observe decay in an instant.
