College

[kreestar]

I only have a year of high school left, so I've been thinking about college a lot. Where I'm going, what I'm going to major in, stuff like that. I'm staying local ( :noangel: ) and thinking of majoring in english-writing. I'd just like some feedback from the other teens around the site. Are you nervous?

actually i want to get to college quickly now lol coz GIbbs is gonna teach me guitar and highschool is sucky i can drop english and take up myth and legends in College and not waste a class on p.e. since i already do soccer outside of school.

Yeah, I've got one year of college left before university so I'm getting a bit nervous... :blink:

I've already decided which university I want to go to and it's away from home, which is what I want because, if there's any time to move out, then its when I go to university. My parents keep telling me how they're there to create independence not dependence so are encouraging me to move out, haha.

Basically, I'm working to save up money for it. My parents want me to have at least $4000 saved ready for it so then they'll pay for $5000 and I'll borrow the last $5000 (or so). Student debt here is horrid (students here have a collective debt of $7 billion....).

I'm still torn between doing something psychology and something history, both of which are so fascinating and I love. But I have much better marks in history, though that's jsut because this is the first year my shcool has offered psychology and the teacher is pretty shoddy so...

But yeah.

Oh and arwen, what is "college" for you? University? Here, school goes primary school (from 5yrs old to 12yrs - though sometimes intermediate goes from 10-12yrs) then college which goes from 13yrs to 17yrs then university. Which are you?

Oh ok then, thanks.

That's a bit odd to have 2yrs at a separate school or whatever (but then again, we have that at intermediate...haha)

Ah well.
