college.

Dear anyone who is willing to read,

 

 

Honestly, Im not sure that anyones ever told me how hard it is preparing for college, or maybe they have and I just payed attention to the fun part of it more. All I can really remember being told or shown is the partying, hanging out, having fun, enjoying life and now that I need to start preparing for college its like-- oh wow.

 

My sister keeps nagging at me about taking the ACT test. My teachers never even told me anything about it and yeah I knew about it but Im not one to go forward and ask about it.. usually. Well, my sister took it in her hands and found a school for me to take it at when I come there for the summer. I much rather do that anyway then sit in a room full of a hundreds of kids I know but dont talk to, that's rather uncomfortable. I wont be as nervous and shook up taking it there with people I dont know and they dont know me. I can just go in do my thing, and come out knowing I'll never talk to these people anyways. =)

 

My sister sent me this site for signing up to take it and stuff and its really got me focusing now. Reading everything that would be on the test, things I need to know, stuff about college like the score requirements, scholarships, and etc. It even has pretty much all of the careers and majors listed and you can click on them and read more about it. I already had in mind what I wanted to be but I picked out a few more things that interest me. So, in order of how much they interest me, top being the most, bottom being the least, they go::

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/occs/occ345.html --psyhiatrist

 

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/occs/occ233.html --lawyer

 

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/occs/occ401.html --private detective

 

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/majors/maj803.html --creative writing

 

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/majors/maj925.html --dance

 

http://www.actstudent.org/wwm/majors/maj926.html --design, general

 

Now I just have to decide which one I want to have a lifetime career in. And let me tell you, Im horrible at decisions and this isn't the best one to start working with..considering that its not just a simple decision, it's rather huge, ha. Do you have an idea on what you think I'd be best at?! If so, do feel free to inform me. =)

 

Oh, and then I was registering and realized that my email address is definatly not appropriate for something like this so I made a new one, ha. Just for things like this. [c.snyder92@yahoo.com] Now, how lame is that? Lol. But atleast its more appropriate!

 

 

 

College..Life..Career..Future.

 

I think it's all becoming too much for me!

 

 

 

Love,

me. ♥

    College is fun. I skipped my junior year and senior year of high school and went right to college, so I'll be a junior in college when I'm 18. It's not bad, and its fun. It's not all partying, but you learn what YOU wanna learn and it makes it soooo much more enjoyable. Be yourself, follow God, and never put your drink down...*gazes at kya and callan on the floor*...thats what I did. Stay strong, because I know you are babe. Follow YOUR . you're a big girl, make your own future what YOU want it to be. Take the ACT's and study for them before hand. I took it the first time, and got 21, then i studied over the summer, took it a second time and got 32. you'll kick ass, i know it!

    you tons girl!

    I honestly don't know what you would be best at, but I really can't see you as a lawyer sissy. But that is just me. Whatever you pick, pick it because you enjoy it, not because of money or whatever.

    I love you

      That made me laugh, haha. I wanted to be a lawyer for the longest time ever! Why can't you see me being a lawyer?

      Yeah, thanks for the reminder. =) When I was little I always just wanted a job that made a lot of money, but now I just want something I'll like. And I think I'll like all of these, just not sure which one I should do, haha.

      I love you too.

    Good luck

    First of all I suggest you take an online personality tests called the MBTI. You can get several of them free online if you google it. This tests is commonly used by schools and some employers to predict your skills and interests. It tells your aptitudes. It will tell you a lot about yourself also and may help you a lot with your decision. When you take it you will get a four character personality type. Mine is INTP. Once you get your code let me know what type you have and I can send you sites that suggest careers good for your type.

    I am glad you changed your e-mail also for many reasons including the one you named. I wish you well in this. God bless you Crystal.
