I suppose i can attempt to shed a little bit of light on the college situation noting that ive been thinking many of the things you say you've been contemplating. My final goal, and i cant say this for everyone, in college is simply to get a degree in somthing i can see myself doing happily for a long period of time. There are ALOT of creative majors out there to pick from, and chances are you can do somthing that you'll enjoy. also, ive found that here the workload is alot different than highschool. its sooooo much more focused, and definitely smaller. Besides the work aspect, college is really really fun! (!!!) If you go to a big/medium sized college near a major city theres alot to do and i garuntee that you will make alot of friends. (especially a pretty girl like yourself)
BUT!!!!
College isnt for everybody. You dont have to go to college. There are actually other ways to live! (gasp) What people would have you believe is that if you dont go to college you're gonna work at burger king for the rest of your life... WRONG there are options besides college(most would probably require money, but getting a job for a year isnt all that hard) for example, travel--> traveling around the world isnt hard, go to europe and ride the euro rail and live for less than 10 dollars a day, bus through south america, go live in a monestary in tibet. I dont really know all of the specifics, but what im trying to say is research it! (and talk to my dunn if you get the chance) college isnt the only option. seriously, you should talk with people, talk with your parents, tell them about your reservations and see what things they have to suggest to you ( and if your parents blow up, just ignore em and continue looking at whatever options you want to )
You also seemed worried about your friend situation for next year. I know EXACTLY what you mean! During my senior year my class was 18 people and i would ony say that 3 of them were good friends. What i can say is that its actually sortof relaxing only having 3 or 4 friends around. First, you become really really close to the few peolpe that are left. Second, when your college friends visit it becomes all that much more special, plus, they're only a phone call away. Thirdly, with so few friends around, i at least, found that it was alot easied to find time for myself. That you could really just go home and relax withouth social activities calling all the time. (without adrian my weekends were alot more freed up thats for sure)
Alright, ive said alot and hopefully somthing will come in handy or make you feel better. Love: Bill xoxo
