I love using digital signatures because you can add all sorts of Icons to them, I have a little heart and a smiley face on mine saying "be happy, dog loves you". I think I wouldn't want a sad signature! It's nice to finish and I'm with some love and joy.
I would say YES. It's much more fun to spend time with a friend than alone, only make sure it's a person you would enjoy spending all this time with! You will be sharing a room and a bathroom and also all your awake and sleeping time together.
