my college is OVER too!!!!!!!

Thats wonderful! Its good to see you so happy!

 

Congrats, Cate...

Yeah school... I don't know.. I'm not for or against it... I went for a while then decided I had to stop... psychology isnt for me... I'm not gonna be a slave to the drug companies... But I personally do wanna go back in the fall for nutrition but that's just me. I plan on using my degree though to get a job somewhere tropical.

 

I plan to eventually get a degree. Ive been considering nursing. But I need to live some more before I decide! And I wont do it spontaneously this time!!

 

Right on Cate. I wasn't going to suggest dropping out to you, but I secretly hoped you would. You need some adventure in your life.

Go to Puerto Rico, soak up the sun, stay gorgeous and have some fun!

I found a band of gypsy's who are traveling across the states and Canada. I'm kinda thinking about joining up...

Anyway, all the best Caitlin.

 

Maybe steal a nice Puerto Rican boy and pack 'em up in your luggage eh?

 

well i am very glad that I stuck with it and finished school, but I know plenty of people who did not...there are many motherfucking paths out there.

Whatever you do, enjoy it and learn from it.

and I can take as much vacation as i want, I just don't get paid for it

 

The rockstar says he was glad to stay in school? What a world.

 

ha, I play in a rock band, but I do not believe I could even live at a near homeless level on that money

People may view jobs as only getting a few weeks off a year., but generally those jobs allow you to save money, and when you want to travel the world for a year you could just go ahead and do it....if you "think outside the box" to use a super lame corporate phrase

 

Cool caty i was thinking of dropping out myself and im a freshman in highschool. I would love to start livin the life i wanna live, but i really dont think my parents would accept that but who cares man.

 

terrible idea. parents aren't always wrong

 

there's not a person that can be able to say that school is bad or good for people. Its good or bad for CERTAIN people, depending on what you want to do with your life. I'm going to finish up with my sign language classes, because i want to help with the deaf community. I took a 2 year break though, to spend time with my baby boy. anyways....

congratulations Cate!!! I'm glad you've found the right road for you!!! that's really great. its so hard to be able to find the freedom and happiness that you truly want. :hug:

 

You'll be really glad you finished high school friend. Theres a lot more adventure later on in life.

 

definately true. alot of places, you cant even get a low paying job because you dont have a GED or diploma. and as a freshman, theres still alot to learn.

 

there is a term for 14 year olds on their own in the world



"fresh meat"

 

yeah in 10years you think its gunna be all giggly fun and travel every week lol...

 

Everyone old clearly hates their life.

 

Good for you! Enjoy your yadadaifreedom. I was 22 when I realized college wasn't my shtick... and I'm planning on going back! Only for knowledge though.

 

That's fine.

I just hope that you didn't give up on any scholarships or blocked off any possible paths for you.

About school... I dislike college, I dislike it alot. I love the social atmosphere, but that's about it... everything else is brainlessly institutionalized.

...but I'm still going to get my degree. Even if I never use it... just to have that shitty piece of paper in my pocket in case I ever need something to fall back on.

Calling a college education pointless in our modern world is rather silly.

 

I am for sure going back to school one day. Im pretty sure for nursing. But I need to make EXTRA Sure this time.

 

what were you studying originally? just curious

i just finished one degree but i have no idea what i want to do with my life. i think the best part about college isnt the work and knowledge (although it was interesting to learn new things) but the people you meet and the friends you make, the experiences you have! ive had a great 4 years... and i even met the man i will probably marry someday.. so it was well worth it for me!
