My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

My only strengths in school are English and History. So for college, which is two years away, I suppose I'd go with an English major. My worry though, is what exactly can I do with that. I don't want to be constrained to just writing articles all the time.
What else can be done with an English major? (link)

In my high school they make us choose majors as Freshman and we have to fill certain requirements in order to graduate. I chose English because at the time I wanted to be a writer. After I figured out that I can't write well to save my life, I decided I wasn't going to pursue that major in college. However, I did a lot of research on what one can do with an English major, and this is what I got out of it:
-Teacher
-Journalist
-Author
-Reporter
-Editor/Proofreader
There are, I'm sure a few other things, but I do know that an English major will help you with a lot of different majors, but if you're looking for jobs with good money after college, consider minoring in something else that could help you get a job.
Oh, and just because you're only good at English and History in school doesn't mean you can't do well in college with other things. Just think about what you can imagine yourself doing in life, go to collegeboard.com and research careers and majors that go with that career. That website can be SO helpful when planning for college and beyond.
I hope that helps!
