college ...
my guidance councelors make a big deal out of at least 2 years of a foreign language in HS. i took spanish 1 and did well but last year i took spanish 2 for a little but i had to drop it because i absolutely couldnt do it, my teacher is an idiot ... my question is if you have not completed 2 or more years of foreign language does the college require you to take it ? i really dont wanna take it ... i think its such a waste of time & i dont wanna do it at all

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
YES!! It's VERY important that you take at least 2 yrs of a foreigh language...most "good" schools do require that!

I know, from experience and college research myself that colleges usually require atleast 2-3 years of a language in school. I think it would be wise to pick it up again.

In my opinion, if your only going to a liberal arts college, as most people (in the U.S.) do, then you shouldn't worry too much about 2 years of foreign language. I also took two years of spanish, did alright the first year, and horrible the second year. I also blame the teacher, but it could have also had a lot to do with the fact that I started drinking a lot more that year... who knows..
Anyway, any liberal arts college, like most state universities, aren't going to care if you took two years of a spanish class in high school.
But, you should check out any particular colleges that your looking at going to. Look at their websites, and perhaps call their admissions office. Everyone in the admissions office of any college should be equipped to answer all of the questions from confused high schoolers, first year students, and everyone else.
If it's going to bring your GPA down, then it might be a good idea to focus on the things that will actually help you out when you get into college.

It depends a lot on the college. Some colleges require you to have a foreign language and some don't. Also, it depends on what study you are going into. Try to search online and look at the college requirements for where you want to go. Good luck.

Depends on what you want to be and where you will be going for college.
Jump online to any college website, look for the majors and its requirements.
Personally, my degree did not require any foreign language - so I didn't take them. However, if I was doing a business degree or customer service, Spanish is a great asset.
Normally, two years of language class at the high school will let you go to level II in college.
