Yes it's utterly melodramatic, but I feel like I've lost my passion for life.
Back in High School I was a really bright kid and I loved anything creative. I had this weird passion in life and in pushing my potential as far as it would go. I think it was somewhat because people looked at me differently; I was a quiet, awkward teenager with a low self-esteem from a socio-economically disadvantaged family, and with divorced parents. Most people thought I was going to end up as a deadbeat drop out (and in the area I live in, it wasn't difficult to imagine).
I excelled in my classes and got into Uni. I've been in Uni for a year and a half now, and I'm just so unfulfilled and disappointed. It all started in my first semester. I had high hopes for myself, and ended up barely passing my units. I was going through some pretty tough times at home too, which didn't help the situation. For the rest of the year I just felt so stupid and worthless. Somehow though, I managed to go from barely passing to distinctions (75+). I've almost finished my first half of my second year and my marks are still increasing, but ever since that first semester I haven't felt that passion that I had in High School.
I wanted to go places, both career wise and physically. I had major wanderlust and confidence in the possibility of what I could achieve, but now it's gone. I still want to travel and succeed, but I just feel like I'm just not good enough anymore...
How do I get myself excited again about the world? I want to feel the way I did two years ago, just that drive and want that I used to revel in. If anyone has felt this way, it would be really great if you could give me some advice. (link)

you've went from the jubliant, happy, optimistic, over-eager environment of highschool... to the serious and strict world of college. It's normal. You graduated high school, and you thought that was going to be it. But then you started college again and realised, "wow, more school? Really?" I toally get it. But you must know something.
High school is actually worthless. Work in highschool means nothing, you are all doing it for COLLEGE. College work is where it really matters, therefore you should give college your all, because it is the most important thing in life.
From what i hear you are only 19-20 years old. You are young! Take advantage of it and hang with people and keep pushing further. You have endless opportunities and millions of chances to do things. You are young, enjoy it while it lasts, instead of feeling so sorry for yourself.

I am a high school senior and im stuck about the obvious problem all seniors face...what college is right for me?
Heres my problem....I am a pretty talented wrestler, not amazing, but talented. I am ok at school not the best. My dad really wants me to go to a 2-year school that already has an interest in me to wrestle for them and he thinks it will fit my academic abilities better. But i really have a good 4-year school picked out im already accepted, and i have friends that go there. and they have a very competitive wrestling program I love wrestling it was basically my life in HS...but i probably wont start actually wrestling for them for a long time, I even went through the thought of just ending my wrestling career, I ended high school on a good note...maybe it is time to end. I feel like with wrestling gone I could focus more on school and maybe some things i couldnt do since I was so committed to wrestling. I love the 4-year, even without wrestling, but it is really hard to let go of wrestling.
Thanks! (link)

I think it depends on your major. At my school they typically make you graduate as soon as you have 120 credits which would force me to graduate a semester early, but since I’m double majoring I won’t have all of my requirements satisfied until the end of 4 years. My roommate is going into her 4th year in the fall and will have enough credits to graduate by december but she wants to stay for her super senior year and will be allowed to by the school because she’s an engineering major and they are allotted 5 years.

ok so im bearly going to highschool and im already worying about collage! i dont think im going to make it! i always end up going with the crowd by not listining in class and skipping! i dont want school to be boring but at the same time i want to do good in school! what should i do? (link)
|
hey hun :)
this hits close to home because i went through the same situation, i always ended up following my friends by skipping or not listening or getting sucked into all the drama that was going on, but eventually i learned to buckle down and stopped worrying about how people would perceive me and started doing what was best for me,i grew up i stopped focusing on what others were doing and started living my life, and thats the advice i give to you do your own thing, because if you continue skipping and not listening you won't make it which would be unfortunate because you CAN make it if you just focus, and start paying attention, hitting the books, and you can always have fun on the weekends or join a club at school. :) i hope my advice helped and keep me informed on how everything went if my advice helps you in any way :)

How would I go about getting a scholarship to Drexel University for fashion design? (link)
| |
well I am not exactly sure you can get a scholarship for fashion design, but you can join a sport get a scholarship that way or join band or choir and you can still go to college majoring in fashion hope I hekoed :)

okay, im in highschool right now, nearing college! I am super excited about going to college. I still have a couple years but I am already preparing.
My dream is to be a radiologist! I've researched the career, and I love it! I know all about the job but how much would it cost to go to med. school after college? What should my major be in college, and how much will this cost? (link)
| |
it depends on the college you choose, for harvard it ranges from 50 g- 150 g per yr. or semester, if you are going more local probably 50 g - 75 g

hey i am smart but my grades arent that great.
i have a really low gpa its like a 2.8 and i have no idea what college i should go to.
i want to go to north eastern or bu but i know i cant get into that.
what college shoudl i look into? (link)
|
well if you have a 2.8 than you probably have less of a chance to get into really hard schools like harvard, yale, standford, and so on. But if you say u are smart, think about it, are you artistic? creative? Find some school of the arts, or fine arts school, or stuff like that.
you can try to apply to northeastern. WHO KNOWS?
u might succeed. i hope u do :)

why is healthcare a political issue? (link)
| |
Because many people cannot afford it so politicians want to appeal to those people and try to promise them and try to provide more affordable health care.

Hey, well I'm starting to do college applications and I want to major in psychology. Does anyone know any good school(s) with good psychology program? And which classes would I take? And one more thing, how many years of math do you need in college? I'm taking AP Stats as a senior, would that count as a year in math in college. Thanks in advance! (link)

I want to be famous, I love to act and sing. I'm not that great at singing. I would love to be on Broadway but I don't know if I would make it. I don't know what to do with my life. I'm 14, so I want to take high school classes that will help me in what I want to be. I love fashion and everything but I don't know what to do any ideas? (link)
|
Practice your singing everyday with exercises and warm-ups. It's good for your voice.
Schools provide drama classes, choir clases, acting classes, and such. Take a look into those subjects and if you need help, talk to your conselor if you want.
Post youtube videos of you singing and get feedback from kids around the world. It's good to get critisim and praises about your singing. Feedback is good.
Practice fixing up teared up jeans and making your own fashion clothing. Go to fabric stores and explore deeper in your hobby: fashion.
Look in the phonebook and try finding acting classes nearby. Good way to communicate with others and get a sneak peak what you will be doing if you really want to be on Broadway.
Search online for fashion ideas, look in books at libraries or book stores. Research is good.
Maybe a singing coach could be good. Practice on your vocals. They can teach you new habits and ways to get better.
Practice pratice practice whatever you want to do. Perfect practice makes perfect.
GOOD LUCK!

i'm currently a us citizen and i am thinking of attending college in greece at the american university of athens. would i have to become a greek citizen to stay there? what about taxes and stuff lke that? and what about my driver's license? and if you can think of any other related questions it would really help a lot! :] (link)
| |
No, you wouldn't have to become a citizen, you'd just be a student. I'm sure theres some steps you have to take and papers filed, etc. I'm not sure about all that, you'd have to get in contact wit the school and find out. You can get your license traded out. Basically, the school should be able to tell you everything you need to know and will be much more help.

why do colleges waitlist people instead of just outright reject them? i know they accept more than apps they should just in case theres enough room and ppl decide to go to another school.. but like :( so is waitlist most likely a no? (link)
| |
They do accept more applications than the amount of students they take but there are the students that might get accepted and theres the flat out nos. As the students that got in deny going to the said school, the students on the waiting list get accepted. It depends on how low you are on the waiting list because I've known many people who have gotten accepted after being wait-listed but it took a awhile to find out.

I'm going to be a freshman in college next year and I've always been curious for what I do at the end of my freshman year. How will they know I want to return to that same school for my sophomore, junior, and senior year?
Are you automatically eligible to attend the school for the following 3 years (sophmore-senior) or is there some reapplying process you must go through? I know I won't have to worry about this for another year, but I'd rather know now. If it depends on the college then I'm going to ASU in Boone, NC.
I would prefer people who are my age or older or have friends/siblings and know for a fact what you're talking about (AKA people with experience when it comes to college and stuff).
Thanks in advance. (link)
| |
Once you get accepted, you can go there until you graduate unless you decide to switch schools. There will be a time at the end of each semester when you can apply for classes for the following semester. You don't need to reapply. They can kick you out if you're failing your classes or get expelled.

please help
i really would love it i need it soo bad
thanks (link)

its okay, there are plans you can go on that will give you loans and help you out. Also, I know you said that you cant get a job right now, but when it is winter, summer, fall etc, go around and put flyers in mailboxes for yard works such as lawn mowing, leave raking, dog walking, dog scooper pooper :-), shoveling snow, cleaning the pool, babysitting, and anything else they could possibly need. Just work with a low budget on luxeries for a while, and save all of your change, trust me, it adds up! :-)

If your dorm has a common bathroom, how does showering work?? Can you go take a shower whenever you want to?? Also, can you use your hairdryer/hair straightener in the bathroom or can you use it in your room also?? I know every college/university is different, but generally, what are the usual rules for this situation?? I'm a bit nervous about it since I'm obsessed with my hair straightener. Thanks!! (link)
| |
well you can take a shower when ever but not during school even if your sick and cant go to class and you can use a hairdryer in the bathroom only good luk i hope i helped

soo i live in a dorm at college and my floormates and i are pretty close. this one girl makes me really mad though. i used to consider her a best friend but shes such a whore. all she cares about is doing things with guys. i want to have a better semester but avoid her. how can i do this? she lives right down the hall and is always in my room hanging out. (link)
| |
just tell her whats what a girl in college should care more about her education than guys its so stupid she can care about guys when she gets out of school but now she has to study hard just tell her that you dont apreciate her always talking about guys and stuff and if she dosnt take it the wrong way than she will stop and if she does take it the wrong way then she will stop bothering you so its a win win situation good luck i hope i helped and i hope that she gets her head in thoes books good luck
