Graduation. One of the best experiences of anyones life. (were talking high school graduation that is)
But, when its over, its over. And your finally in "the real world". Theres so many options though for people to do, but of course, people around you will try to tell you whats "best for you to do" (that is if you already don't got it figured out) But what kills me the most is when people try to tell you that college is the best way to go. It's great in the long run and s***, but nobody should have to be rushed into that lifestyle if there not fully ready. Like me for instance. I'm just not ready for college. I will eventually try my best to go to the one I want to go to, but at the moment, I just want to live my life, get a job, experience the real world. I don't wanna have to feel pressured into doing something I don't wanna do and then fail miserably at it. I just know if I went to college right now, I'd be failing like hell and most likely get the boot cause my mindset right now is not college. But to get to the point, what do you think is the best thing to do after college? I think the best thing to do is to find your own way. If your ready for college, then go ahead, but if your not ready to get back into the school routine, then you should just do you till your ready to do something. But just not wait forever.

I'm definitely ready to go to college and actually really excited to go to the college I'm going to! it's a science college where I'm going to do what I love, which is too far away from home to live with my parents so I get a new apartment where I'll live with 5 other teenagers who are in the same situation as me and honestly I think it's going to be the time of our lives! oh and when we'll probably have tens of companies trying to hire us even before we finish college because it's one of the best scientific ones in europe
so yeah I definitely think this is the best choice for me
although a year off would have been great, getting experience, jobs and s***, I can't do that because it's too expensive to do so and my parent's work pays for 85% of college, my appartment, food and leisure on the condition that I dont have to repeat a year or take a year off, so I'm not going to blow off this opportunity to have fun
an other really good reason to go to college here is that it's really cheap compared to the US. I heard colleges as prestigious as the one where I'm going can cost up to 300'000 dollars (harvard medecine) whereas the one where I'm going is 500$ lol

For instance, a secretary at my high school has a son that went to college straight out of high school and he had the worst time ever. It was mainly cause of the type of college it was but he was just doing so bad he decided to drop out. And now hes finding his own way by working at his mother's painting buisness. So yeah, it just all depeneds on what you wanna do and how ready you are to do it.

So Sheik, I had no clue you was really into science like that. Do you want to be a scientist?

yeah I think so, I find the other subjects at school not challenging enough and advanced science is almost interesting. didn't you guys know that? don't you also know that I'm an official genius but I don't do s*** in school so I'm just second?

Nope. In my eyes your almost just as secretive as the rest of us and information only comes out every so often.
