@inthegarden That’s why I left my old school. However, for whatever reason there’s nothing I like anymore. So I cant stop doing things that sap my energy in order to do things I enjoy because there isn’t anything I enjoy. That’s part of why I’m having so much trouble. If there was something I really liked to do, I’d do it, and I don’t think I would have so much of a problem getting into college.
That CC thing looks really fun, my only issue is that there’s an excellent-looking creative writing class I’m already planning on taking over the summer. I haven’t sent in my application yet so there’s no reason I can’t change my mind, but I’m always wary of doing things only for the sake of college.
@“Snowball City” I haven’t really enjoyed any courses since middle school. I liked Latin in freshman year and English in sophomore year, but in both cases it was because the teacher was good and paid lots of attention to me because I was the only smart kid in the class (there was no honors English section for underclassmen at my old school). So I have no idea what I want to study. It probably sounds like I shouldn’t go to college at all, but I want to because I’ve always liked learning and I’m sure I’ll wake up some morning and like it again. Plus I’m lucky enough to have a very sizeable college fund even though my family is middle class because we’ve had some wealthier relatives. I don’t want to take a gap year because I wouldn’t want to be stuck with people a year younger than me, and I kind of want to move on with my life. It’s unlikely my parents will permit my going to community college (if I was going to disobey them I’d need to become financially self-sufficient, which I think is pretty hard as a teenager without a college degree and without any starting money).
