High School is Over. Are You As Well?

[Origami]

So, with but a few months remaining in the 2011 school year, it's safe to assume most everyone has their plans figured out for next year. Freshmen, you're no longer on the bottom of the sociological food chain, congratulations! Sophomores, you're becoming Juniors! I bet you feel real important finally, eh? And Juniors, you'll become Seniors. It's your school now, are you going to be remembered as a class? But most importantly is you current Seniors, myself included. We've climbed the ladder and done all of the sometimes monotonous school work, and here we find ourselves at the end of the road. So, what are your plans? Are you going to work at your local McDonalds because you failed to graduate? Are you going straight into the work force? With or without vocational training? Tech school maybe? Or perhaps you're heading off to a University, whatever the case, share it here. Fears, excitements, the usual bullshit.

Personally, I'm very excited. I'm going to Winthrop University to pursue my Bachelor of Arts in English. Where else better to seek a career in education than the top ranked college for education majors in my state? From there on out, with any luck and a decent work ethic, I plan to get my Masters and inevitably obtain my doctorate. Only time will tell though.

i'm only a 7th grader(bleh) at the moment but once i graduate highschool i plan on going to college(USC hopefully).
congrats on graduating and going to college! :D

Yes. I have finished my examination not too long ago.

Man, my only fear is that I might fail in Maths and Physics(should have listened my father and took liberal arts instead).

If I fail in one exam, I can do it again. If two, I must repeat the year, but join in as a private candidat(no need to in to school). I have to get a job too. A part time job will do.

If I graduated. I don't think I can go straight into college. I will take my Diploma in something in some technical school or institute. Get another job. Save some more money, and possibly get into a college.

I'm going to be going on a roadtrip across America this summer- Down the west coast coast, through to Texas, and up to Pennsylvania is money and time allow for it- If not, it'll be a long drive through the boring states along the northern border to Pennsylvania. Once I get to PA I'll be attending Edinboro University. I'll pursue multiple degrees, but I have every intention of becoming famous well before my four years are up. I'm looking at some artsy sort of courses.

I don't want to be a senior

I'm scared to death of life after I graduate. Graduation is on the 28th of May and I don't feel at all ready. After graduation I'll take on a better amount of hours with my Subway and started college. I HOPEFULLY will get my mother frikin lisence and a car. That's all I have so far. I'm not moving out, not yet. My sister was gone by the time she turned 17. I don't think I can survive in the real world!

Ahh, yes. I don't think I quite fit in this thread, but with the end of this term, will come the end of my schooling.

Why? I can't do this...
There's no way in hell that I'm getting my master's. I just know that. I know something will come up. My motivation issues that screwed me over in high school, my low tolerance for stress. So there's no fucking point to get my bachelor's, because what I'm studying to be requires a master's.

I highly doubt they'll want me in the field anyway. I have to get better before helping other people get better. The chances of that happening in seven years? Very, very low. I don't even know how long I've got. On this earth, or even just how long I have left until my brain melts and I get to live in a long-term adult ward for as long as they want to keep me.

Even if I want to continue, I'll just have to start at a new college anyway. In a year or two, I won't be in this country. I know that for a fact.

I think I'm better off pursuing my dreams instead of settling with this. You'd think college would get me closer to them, but in reality, it's not going to. Studying something else entirely would get me a bit closer, but honestly, I don't think I can take it. And not a lot of people are going to understand that.

I'm a Junior this year, and I have to say, I have absolutely no clue what I'll do when I graduate! I have an idea, but for me, money is an issue. I might have to take a year off after High School to work and save up money. Or maybe I'll go to a community college and get a bachelor's degree and then go to a University.

[Andymoto377]

i live in a town with a university so I am in a program at my school where I go to the college for classes and check in with my high school counselor once a month and Ill walk with my class at graduation. I’m thinking of staying in school for mechanical engineering or maybe do the fire academy or EMT program in a CC maybe go to a tech school like MMI or wyotech idk yet.

[RAWWR]

Well I finished school last year, but my college course this year was a piss easy thing because I didn't get any GCSE's due to personal issues, i've now caught up and am going onto a level 2 in Health and Social care :)

[Dunce]

I always looked forward to freedom after finishing school :) But then I realized that I'll have a summer off, which I always do, and then I'll go to college. I don't call that freedom. It's just going to another school to work even harder :( I don't know what I'll do. I'm going to apply for college but I might take a year out and travel.
I'll go straight to college if I find something I actually want to study, but If not I'll travel or do something crazy.
IT'S SUCH STRESS.
Schooooool's out. For the summer. Schooooool's out. For. Ever. Now what?
Well, goodbye :P

I am graduating this year and then doing it all over again. I graduate May 19, after that I am off to college. Since I have my associate's in science I think I will finish my bachelor's and get my paramedic while doing so. Then it is off to medical school. Medicine is my life.

[Powerline]

I graduated in 2010 but I havent gone to college yet. I might in the Fall

[Aeroflux17]

Man, my only fear is that I might fail in Maths and Physics(should have listened my father and took liberal arts instead).



Amazing,i also have a chance of failing those 2 classes,xd but i'm 8 grade so i couldn't choose classes,well i almost failed them last year (and the year b4 that),and now its the last year so they are probably going to let me pass much easily than before...

[WaahZombie]

I'm excited that schools almost done. Less than 2 months till I graduate. I can't wait.
My mom is making me go to community college for 2 years because my sister screwed everything up and had to change her major for the 3rd time. stupid. But I am looking forward to it. Hopefully after community college I can go to University of South Carolina for International Studies. That is my goal.

[Modus Operandi]

Becoming a junior. Toughest year.
