What did you do after High School?

[idNut]

I'm not talking long term but as soon as you got your diploma and High School was officially over, what did you do that week or the weeks following? I quite clearly don't know what I'm going to do so I'm nervous and worried. College is still up in the air but I'm thinking about just working for a little and not going directly to college. I'd like to write some stories and see how far I could go like that. I dunno.

I hung out with my girlfriend all summer, went to a semester of college and dropped out The college I went to has been called "PRISON" :Q

That week? went to the beach, hung out with friends, continued working at my part time job... normal summer stuff. I went to a community college the following fall.... there's a whole huge story going from there until now that I don't want top get into, but I'll jsut say: aviod community colleges if possible... you tend to get stuck there and stagnate.

Why do you say that? I'd just like a year off of my life for Pete's sake. Incessant school has lead to decay of most of my sanity.

I hung out with a girl i just met...had some fun. Quit my job the end of June, got a job working private security 40+ hours a week until the end of august when college started.

Four days after HS graduation I threw my clothes in the trunk of my car and headed out. I wound up in Nevada and got a job on a horse ranch. Being a big city boy in a small town I had a great time. After 6 months I got bored and joined the Army. For the next three years I traveled the world and applied my training to the bad guys. I miss those days.

I'm still in high school. But if all goes to plan I'll finish up college in 2 years then get a high-paying job and wife right off the bat. Hah!

To bad that I dont have a story to tell but, maybe I can tell you what im going to do in the future. Currently, im a freshman in high school. After High School, im going to get my Associates Degree. Then go into the Police Academy and become a Cop.

If you're not ready for college, don't go. No point in rushing things and failing, you have lots of years ahead of you to be a responsible adult.

That actually sounds realistic and original. I'm tired of hearing this horsesh!t about getting a bachleors in Computer Science and getting a job in the IT industry. How lame and boring.

I don't remember what I did right after I graduated high school. Probably just hung out with my friends. About a month and a half later, my dad retired from the Air Force and we moved halfway across the country to be closer to family. After that, I started college, which is where I'm at right now.

[Schadenfreude]

I sat on my duff all summer. Then I sat on my duff all semester.

Still trying to figure it all out.

I think surviving is the key. I mean, Dazed and Confused put it right, it's like we're preparing for something with our jobs. I'd like to just survive with a decent paycheck and peace of mind. Not to be greedy but, for a lack of better words, get life over with.

 

[FoBoT]

worked, to save money to go to college the following august

Well going to collage with people your age is always a good thing. If you wait, you will wait more. Procrastinate until your married or stuck with a kid, not always a good thing.

Let me tell you my personnel dilemma. Try asking a girl you pretty much feel in love with that actually has a career leading in a promising future when your still stuck at home paying mother rent. If you wait to go to school for maybe even a year, that is one year of your life you blunderd. If you control the present, you control the future.

Part-time summer job was my bridge to college...

Damnit, you're right but I wanna be lazy for 1 year.
