Really Think it Over 1 week ago

I know that college is seen as the panacea of our civilization, but before you make one HELL of a trip, please think it over. College is a HUGE financial and emotional ride that can build you to great esteem or destroy the bits and pieces of you that you thought all once made sense. You can swim in a grand sea of success or drown in a sea of ruin and depravity.

My suggestion is to NOT go to school directly after college if you haven’t developed a sound plan. My regret is going to college directly after high school. What can a child who doesn’t know about the real world really do with abstract skills learnt in college without first understanding how the world around him works.

I do not regret going to school, but I wish I would have had some sort of plan. Now I sit on a pile of debt and undeveloped dreams. But its ok.

I’m optimistic to what the future has in store for me.

Wish me luck. I wish you the same.

Go To College 3 weeks ago

After I have finished my exams, I am planning on leaving my Secondary school on the hopes of having a fresh start at a College near my home to do my A Levels. Leaving school means that I will be going on my own, leaving all my friends and teachers behind. However, I feel like this is something I need to do to rebuild my confidence.



Untitled 3 weeks ago

I graduated high school in 2000 and have yet to proceed to a college education. I feel that I have somewhat stunted my growth mentally by not furthering this part of my life. I have always put limitations as to why I could not be in school or afford it for one way or another. Relocating numerous times throughout these years have also made limiting thoughts take place before I have even started the process. I am learning that this pattern of limiting or sabotaging myself before getting started has held me back on many dreams and goals that I have and wish to conquer in my life. This is a start for me to see my own dreams in writing and to visually appreciate it for myself and to know that I am worth everything that I wish so longingly to be and achieve. I am the only person that feels that I should not be prosperous. I hope to discover why I have sabotagex myself so that I can move onward open and free..

I went with my parents to an open evening on Thursday, the place was MASSIVE. They had really high tech recording studios and a room of Macs and a room of PCs JUST for music tech students! Very impressed. Gonna send my application this weekend, then I have another open evening to go to on Thursday. It’s great that college is free in the UK. :3

I am most likely to take: music tech, computing, philosophy and chemistry. Not sure about chemistry though.
