I have 1 year and a half left in high school - which means, 1 year 2 think about what I'm going 2 do.
College sounds obvious, and a smart idea, but I know that is not my thing. I think music is what I should do, however, that may not happen... ever.
This breaks my heart but I have 2 take life as it comes. I'm scared of leaving high school, I still have no idea of what I'll do. I hope these vacations will help me 2 put my thoughts in order and make a decision b4 it's 2 late.

dude, you're growing up during the Internet age.

If I was an 18 year old high school grad and the Internet was around when I was that age, I would sooooo sell dirty pictures of myself.


Now I'm older and yall don't wanna see this jelly.

Nooooo....when you are!

theodore said:

Have you talked to a counselor?

Of course if you're in public school your counselor probably sucks, but you can always try talking to prospective college enrollment consulars.

Imago said:

I'm not in a public school, but she scares me

Protege said:

When I'm 18... it would b a little 2 late 2 make a decision

theodore said:

That's not what I meant; text can be confusing

Anyway, yeah. And your counselor is supposed to scare you.

She's a peach

Hey I am a senior in college and going to grad school or law school is freaking me out! I am freaked out about affording grad school or law school and dumb entrance requirements! Ack! so much stress!
But on the bright side college is awesome experience. Trust me when you get to college you are going to be glad you are out of high school!
In college no one cares about your business, there are no dumb cliques, everyone is nice to you, you will meet new people and have new friends that are mature and most likely responsible.
The bad treatment to freshman by seniors like in high school does not exist. People in college are usualy on the mature level.

Maaaaan, I've got about two years of college done, and I've got a 4.0 GPA.

Why I don't finish defies all logic.

Keeping a 4.0GPA at my level is like a lot of work.

theodore said:

Don't do it theo.....

Paradisekiss03 said:

Yeah, and what level is that?

gemini13 said:

Too much work and research projects. I am like so stressed out. Like I had good A's and B's and then one C or D will mess up a GPA so fast. And it is so hard to bring up a GPA.

Paradisekiss03 said:

OK, not to be arrogant or anything....school has never been anything but a breeze for me. Really, if I apply myself to it, it's not a problem.

I know that sounds really bad, but seriously, if I could be a student for the rest of my life, I'd be in heaven.

gemini13 said:

Oh no it's cool. I know people that are like super smart and have GPA of 4.0 so congrats to you!
I started out with A's and B's then I got like three C's and two D's. No F's so far! But I am getting B's again.
I would be happy too if I could be a student for a while longer, but sometimes those essays are stressing.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Essays are fun!!

gemini13 said:

Yeah I guess.

babooshleeky said:

Of course I'm not going 2 do it... I didn't even take that comment seriously.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Well, over here in there is not such thing as bad treatment. If U don’t mess with people, people won’t mess with U. That’s what I like about high school. And the whole popularity thing doesn’t exist over here either. But my classmates, however, sometimes I find amazing how immature and childish they r; they make me want 2 shoot them.
U c, the thing about going 2 college is that I don't know what my major is going 2 b, there resides my problem. I must know that even b4 I go check out what the requirements r. That's Y I'm scared; because I don't even know what I'm going 2 do.

btw...

theodore said:

there isn't an option to be undeclared at first, and decide your major later?

evenstar3 said:

No.

theodore said:

just watchin' out for you

You should go to college. Take some general studies and some music courses. Network and find other people who want to play the kind of music you want to play. Form a band. Give it a try, maybe you'll just have fun but maybe it'll actually turn into something you can make a living with or even better than that.

But get the education too, because you never know what you're going to need later on in life and the more certificates and diplomas you have the better.
Education can give you the freedom to be yourself.
