divaface Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Did any of you guys take a few years off between high school and college? I graduated hs in '06 and I'm hoping to start school again in the fall. I've found that trying to get everything together without the help of a school counselor is a lot of work.

tanukichu Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It really is hard work doing it all by yourself. Even though I went to college right out of high school, my guidance counselor was so incompetent that I ended up doing everything myself too. Where are you going to be going to school?

I'm trying to apply to Temple but the application is due Sunday and I still have no clue how to find/send in my old SAT scores. It's a huge pain in the ass. I will probably end up in CCP for a semester or two if that doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divaface Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 man i never took my sat or act in school. probably should have. i waited until the very last minute, literally. it was the last test i could take before i applied to college (january of my senior year) and i didn't even sign up. i went early the morning of, and they happened to have a few extra spots. i was totally unprepared but at least i took them.

Guest smccown13 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm 24 and still haven't gone to school. I'm really starting to regret it and I'm going next fall. I'm just REALLY scared I'm getting too old to make something of myself. I'm really starting to get tired of waiting tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Pshh don't worry about being too old. There are people that are in their 30's and 40's that go to my school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 my boyfriend's doing this. well, he graduated in 06 and then went to wyotech for automotive stuff and was a tech for awhile, making good money and crap but hated his job and the kind of people he worked with. so he decided to go back to school, haha. taking classes at community college for a couple semesters then applying to a 'real' school. so you're not alone! if you actually live in a dorm they'll just bug you to be an RA cuz you're older.

Now to figure out what I wanna do! in retrospect i should have done this. save a crapload of money. when i graduated from h.s. i was all smarty smarty 'im too good for community college'. i now realize the error in my ways.
