Q: Well, which one would you choose?

Option 1 - University: All I have to do there is study art, math, physics and english. It's a 4 year program, and once i get the diploma i can get one hell of a job. The thing is that i don't know anyone there, I'm only 16 and i don't think i'm that good at art and design. But I love art and i've been in love with it since forever.

Option 2 - School: I get to do the IB program, which I've been waiting to do since forever. I get to do IB music, IB higher maths and IB higher french, and a bunch of standard subjects. I know everyone in my class, but i won't have my best friend there with me. I get to study my fave subjects, and since I'm planning on becoming a guitarist one day, IB music sounds like heaven to me. The only thing I'm afraid of is that I'll be lonely.

I'm already accepted at the uni and I'm only 16. But I'd LOVE to do higher music. (My plan is to transfer to the states and do music as my major after art).

I'm kinda stuck here. Please help?

Thanks loads.

This is just what I would do. I would stay at school, as it seems you have a lot more opportunities. I wouldn't rush to university at 16 - I'd try and get as much high school education as I could (the more education you get, the better university you can get into, and better course, and thus better job =P) And if your dream is music, then it sounds ideal to me. You should always try and pursue your dreams, no matter what.

It seems the only thing you're worried about is your best friend with the second choice. Well, that's not too much of a big deal - I can understand that you'll feel lonely, but I'm sure you'll make other friends. You can still see your best friend. Don't opt for whatever she's doing just because you want her company. Only do what YOU want to do and what's the best for you.

In the end though, it's really your choice. It's your future, so you must decide what YOU want to do. All the best with whatever decision you make. =)

Edit: BTW.. if you'd like to discuss this further my MSN is thecremianqueen@hotmail.com and my aim S/N is ChateauRomani87

I love your advice, but the thing is that I'm not gonna see my best friend again. I went through a hell lot trying to get accepted at the uni, and now that I am one of the 40 people who got accepted, i feel it's kinda stupid letting go of it. I dunno... Thanks for the advice anyway. =)
