<p>a whole different experience from high school?</p>
<p>do you feel more open, free, and independent? is cc just like high school where you feel like your around kids....will i notice im an adult in cc (meaning will i have more free time)</p>
<p>basically i hate the whole morning-3 schedule and not being able to get a good job due to school and having to sit aorund all the kids whole care less about school, will cc somewhat be the same?</p>
<p>what are the good things about community college?</p>
<p>what i feel it will be like is ill have more free time and ill have a 2 grand/month job instead of 400/month (cousins are idiots that barely finish cc only and have jobs like 2 grand and are home a lot)</p>
<p>and another important thing is i have one class and im with a lot of people ive never seen, once my year starts will i be stuck with a lot of those idiots from high school? like will i see those from hs the whole two years just like hs?</p>
<p>ccc is mostly older students along with people from different backgrounds and countries. Although you do get a lot of mixture of immature people from high school that you hated and never wanted to see again. There are a lot of people that don't care about school are at ccc along with people who do. You can scheudle your classes around the times you want if they are available. Good things about ccc are that classes are small so you have easy access to the professor.</p>
<p>do you think there are a lot of girls you meet in ccc? my cousin said that he didnt get with any girls in hs but ccc is where he started to have many girlfriends (at different times)</p>
<p>let me give u the situation at my CC
those that aim for schools like UCLA UCB or engineering schools and such. sure they meet people. they like each other and stuff, but those that are serious and don't go dating and stuff... they might make it through... and then they might not...
not asking u to shave and live in a monetary but i think anyone here would tell u to, if ur really serious about transferring, focus on ur grades. or i guarantee u that u'll regret</p>
<p>The general consensus is that there isn't really a social scene...at all in CC. That probably has to due with the fact that most people plan to transfer out soon anyway.</p>
<p>guardiangel, i know some one really close that so screwed over so bad in cc because of his girlfriend, he had big plans for law school but he was so whipped and she was the hard to get material girl that was so unorganized so he focused on her instead of school, ending up in csun...i was hoping to find a girl that was as dedicated as me and worked with me to help each other out and also im kind of sick of being alone i need someone!</p>
<p>the smart girls at my CC especially in honors, they stay clear of relationships.
if u find a girl, hey she probably isn't that smart.
and lets leave it at that lol
oh yeh the smart girls at my CC are pretty cute too =/</p>
<p>Me personally, I'm not really gonna care about having a girlfriend until after I graduate. Studies are everything for now as far as I'm concerned. Nerd it out now.</p>
<p>malish - its all about priorities >_> i put my education before what u call "life"
i do a lot of fun things that i think would be considered "life"
if being in a relationship is the definition of "life"
then dang... think about it for 5 secs see how much that makes sense</p>
<p>Yep, as Guardiangel says, prioritize first!</p>
<p>So Collegekid101, make education your priority first. Then comes work, then let the 3rd be whatever you want it to, as long as it doesn't negatively impact your first two priorities.</p>
<p>Collegekid101, have you ever watched the South Park episode where Towelie tries to release a book? He learned that instead of getting high whenever he would want to, he would only get high after doing something good.</p>
<p>In your case, focus on transferring to a UC first (if that's what you want to do), THEN go hit on girls once you're a student at a UC. Also for, "I was hoping to find a girl that was as dedicated as me," I'm sure you'll be able to find girls with that kind of dedication at UC's. </p>
<p>Yet, I understand you want to meet someone, but dude read what you wrote! You said your cousin "was so whipped" and that he "he focused on her instead of school." Don't do the same! If you do find a girl and transfer to a UC, you do realize how difficult it'd be for a long-distance relationship right? So focus on your education for now, and get a dog if you're too lonely.</p>
<p>@Malishka31 - I wouldn't say education is a waste if relationships are sacrificed. It's sad that they might not enjoy the intimacy of a personal relationship, but that is not for us to decide. For example, Emily Dickinson was a recluse and died publishing only a few of her poems, yet she continues to affect other posthumously positively. Oh well, that's just my two cents.</p>
<p>i dun think malish's philosophy is wrong, its just too idealized.
in reality there is alwaes a sacrifice for every gain.
if everything went smoothly for malish then good for him/her.
but just cuz jesus can walk on water doesn't mean we can =)</p>
