It was a stupid decision, because I am a great student with good grades and I guess you don't realize how precious time and life can be when you are young and ignorant.

I realized my mistakes and im in a fresh new start actually and have been for a while and im hoping for a new life in Entertainment Law.
good for you, you went back, you are trying to persue something that you really want out of life and you know where to look. that isn't the point, the fact is, UCLA is very hard to get into, not to mention of course the cost for someone out of state..If you do get in who will pay your tuition? Is your family willing to help you or will you be on your own..Again, it is a tough school to be accepted to and out of staters find it even harder.

Like has been suggested a community college with enphasis on your field might be the way to start..

Thank you, it has lighten-up a few things. I will look into undergraduate degrees and see where I could get one. I will look around Montreal and California. The Weather isn't something that is making me move up there (like this other guy) To me California weather is just a +. I find California to be a beautiful place, I always loved the opportunities it can give to someone, even if it can be hard... with hard work anything can be possible. I am working hard on some things to raise money alone, as my family doesn't really approve my move, it's been bad at some points, but again this is my life and I choose to aim for the best I can. There isn't much job opportunities here in Entertainment Law in Montreal, but LA is the Entertainment Capital, so I opt for it.
