<p>Has anyone felt that they've reached to this point where they could've done better with higher potential in High School? I do.</p>
<p>My epic failure and determination to be more passionate over the Summer have started to drive me to go to BC/UVA by working harder in my local college in the Fall.</p>
<p>Anyone here feels like s***?</p>
<p>I hate HS -- especially the social life parts. People are always thinking others are better than you without unique perspective with comparison.</p>
<p>The way I see it, the past is the past, and nothing ever got accomplished by moving or looking backwards. Do I have regrets? Yes. But I do not let them get the best of me because everything in life has a purpose. Know this and look forward with optimism and willingness, success will come and everyone’s day comes eventually.</p>
<p>Well, eveeyone could have obviously done better. Even if you were No. 1. but it’s done now. </p>
<p>Now all we have to worry about is April 1st. (dun dun dun) lol…and hopefully, get into where we want to go. </p>
<p>As for the social parts, things will ease up. I’ve never had a problem with the social aspect of HS but really, does it matter anymore now that you’re graduating?</p>
<p>Oh, btw…i have about 40 days till graduation! :D</p>
<p>Well, for the most part, all I have to say that is if I had a little more motivation than most kids in my school, I would’ve been a great candidate to most top schools. Except the part where social drama tried to limit me locally (jerkish guys and inconsiderate girls). I personally think that if I had studied harder to get into honors/ and some APs, I would’ve held a straight above 3.75 GPA with extra efforts. So now my past regrets is going to further give me a reason why I should work harder in college to transfer into my dream schools. I didn’t intend on trying out for leadership or traveling during high school years so it does suck to not unveil your independency.</p>
<p>If I was this intelligent to cope with CC in the first place, maybe things would’ve been different. Coming on here really makes a kid with many potential look like a loser and underachiever.</p>
<p>I must say that on the other part, for having 4 years of procrastination, it’s time to wear it off in college.</p>
<p>I’m crammed in “honors” classes all day with arrogant, conformist *******s who’s common sense is that of buzzing insects…but oh my, they can memorize things and puke them back up onto tests! Give them better grades than me! :/</p>
<p>im with you on the procrastination part eagle… i am not a typical CCer in a sense that i don’t study or do homework until the day it’s due (besides big essays and research papers). Not a good habit, but one that i will have to break in college in order to get by.</p>
<p>yea the second UT CAPD me, i was like if only i could go back and do better. but you know we learn from our mistakes, so my HS grades kept me out of UT, so i now know that as long as i have good grades in College i want have this problem again</p>
<p>^^^^^^
i dont study either i wait to the last minute to do homework. but i do projects ahead of time</p>
<p>108=LOST reference!!!</p>
<p>Anyway, yes I am so over school. Ugh. I don’t even know how I’ll go on post April 1. I’m glad a whole new quarter’s starting soon, so I can have a whole new set of mental health days.</p>
<p>JW1212: Lol… I guess I’m def. going to have to find motivation from here to take college work more seriously. Maybe this is a good way to push yourself: say “If you don’t work hard with serious efforts, you will not get into [this school] as a transfer.”
Admission to graduate schools is going to be very competitive so there’s probably no room for laziness… that’s what I’ve been told.</p>
<p>Bump… anyone else feels down about HS career?</p>
<p>Well I have 102 days to graduation. I don’t really use what college I get into as a benchmark for how my HS years went by. I use fun. The college comes out of it, you know? If you’re always measuring by success and how you could have done better, you’re always gunna be a little bummed out.</p>
<p>I spent my four years procrastinating to hell and back, participating in ECs that I love, and kicking butt in debates with all the grinds in AP classes. It was all fun</p>
<p>yeah eagle/pierre haha… do you guys know where you’re going to college yet? Getting into a really good grad school is definitely hard as hell, so i guess all of us will have to get used to working our asses off.</p>
<p>I might go to Baruch next year (don’t know if you’re familar with it, but it’s a CUNY).
My HS epic failure is still leading me motivated to work harder in college to transfer to UVA or BC.</p>
<p>I just feel like s*** for some reason. Majority of the girls and guys in my school are socially awkward.</p>
<p>MIT, UChicago, Cambridge, or Dartmouth. If I get into Yale, Harvard, and Swarthmore, all of those will go on the “being considered” list too.</p>
<p>yeah eagle… i am going to Muhlenberg in PA. Small liberal arts school that i probably would have ended up @ anyway because it fit me in every way possible, but i am still with you. I am very familiar with the CUNY’s- not bad whatsoever and they’re pretty well known. Don’t feel like you underachieved… you can definitely do well at Baruch and then transfer. In the end college is what you make it so don’t feel like ****. After this year high school won’t matter at all; you’ll also be saving a hell of a lot of money going to a CUNY vs UVA or BC,.There are a ton of people i know who wish they worked harder so they could be going to better schools. </p>
<p>Dam Millan? That’s it? Not smart enough for Princeton i guess eh?</p>
<p>CUNYs are commuter schools so most people from my high school and other high schools around me will be going to CUNYs or Manhattan College. If I do not meet the expectations of the social life that I expect to have after declaring the existence of change, then I am transferring out!</p>
<p>^^The sad thing is, I really think I am too dumb for Princeton. I tried to write their essay for a month. It was a no go.</p>
<p>Bump <10char></p>
<p>nope im not sure where i am going its between Baylor, UofH, and Texas Tech, or if i get in A&M i will be going their. but as of now probably Tech</p>
