"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus Dumbledore

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!




A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

^my forum, liven it up a little?

advice

Today i was researching some colleges in the area that i would like to attend. I am a junior this year and i figured i should get a head start on making a decision. Anyhow, my highschool requires 3 years of a social studies which i will be fulfilling. this year i dropped my social studies to take accounting 1. im concern is that i am looking into a college that requires 4 years of social science. i am wondering if they would reject me for only having 3. i will fulfill all of the other requirements. (4 years of english, 4 of mathematics, 4 years of a foreign language, 4 years of natural science including 4 years of labratory experience, and electives.)

here is a link to the college requirements: http://www.moravian.edu/default.aspx?pageid=3654

You'll probably be fine, especially if you took the accounting class to get familiar with the subject for college. You have double the lab experience, and theology may fulfill the social science requirement (because it's a class you're receiving credit for).


Depending on the college, you might have to take an extra social science requirement once you're enrolled. Don't make a big deal out of it though - submit your application and transcript and see what they say. If there's a space on the application to do so, maybe emphasize that you've taken classes above and beyond requirements to expand your knowledge in additional subject areas.



This should help reassure you too:

I think you're fine; good luck!
