<p>As adolescents the whole focus of our lives at this point seems to be College, College, College, your whole self-worth and person depends on this.</p>
<p>Is this what it's like for many, or do ya'll strive to do/be something.</p>
<p>Or is college the most important thing for you</p>
<p>Nope it’s the only important thing to me.</p>
<p>College is pretty important, and so is beating out the next guy. I always want to be among the best, if not the very best :).</p>
<p>One other thing that’s important to me is finding someone that understands me, apart from my parents. Someone preferably attractive as well :).</p>
<p>Ready for an extremely corny answer?</p>
<p>Well, I strive to be “happy in life.” Like, truly happy. I want to reach a point where I absolutely love the people surrounding me, the work that I’m doing in the world, and where I am, you know? I mean, that may or may not be possible, but I think it’s something to hope for. For me, that includes going to college, but it’s not a priority, I don’t think. I like to put things that I love before college.</p>
<p>Haha, now that I have reread your question, I’m not sure if that answers it at all. Oops.</p>
<p>The better question is, what is there to live for other than college?</p>
<p>^Everything. I cannot wait to taste freedom.</p>
<p>College and graduate school is the only reason I put in effort in high school.</p>
<p>Yeah, right now I seem to be living just for college admissions, but overall, I’m living for the happiness of life.</p>
<p>I live to achieve my dreams… college just happens to be a step along the way. :)</p>
<p>College seems to be the most practical goal right now and the only goal, but after that there will be more goals, different but still the same achievement type of “getting into college”</p>
<p>Your whole life would be based on living for these “goals.”</p>
<p>But I think the important thing is to have fun and “be happy” while achieving the goal. (best illustrated in the video “Music and Life” that’s been talked about around on CC) It goes like:</p>
<p>From kindergarten to high school you’re awaiting that “big thing” called success that is sorta like enlightment and you think youll be great at the end of tunnel.
You scramble to college, get out of that and scramble into grad school. Come out and rush into a company. That big thing is coming! Freedom! Scramble up the corporate ladder, promotion by promotion.
Until you finally reach the top, the thing you’ve been seeking out all your life, but you don’t feel much different, as throughout this linear journey you were supposed to have fun on the way.</p>

<p>College is mostly what I live for, but I’m also waiting for my boyfriend to get his driver’s license so we can actually go out. 
2 more months!</p>
<p>Mainly college. And graduate school, of course.</p>
<p>not much, tbh</p>
<p>Right now my main goal is getting my ACR to level 31 and unlocking gold camo. How many of you understand that?
That’s what I’m living for.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? I really hope this whole thread is a joke.</p>

<p>Battlefield 3 is much better :P</p>

<p>^No worries…I played a ridiculous amount of BF3 as well. I love both, but Uncharted and Assassin’s Creed trump them.</p>
<p>I care primarily about understanding myself and my place in the universe, but also about language, and about friends, and about my future. That I should go to college is a corollary of all of these, excepting perhaps my love for my friends, and a splendid corollary at that.</p>

<p>Hopefully to grow my online business. My goal is to be making over 5 figures a month by the end of my senior year. So far on face :)</p>
<p>Honestly, for me college is just a stepping stone to get where I wanna be in life, which is ultimately happy. It’s a chance to figure out where I want to go with my life, what I want to do. I have ideas now, but I don’t truly know what I want to do in the next 80+ years. It doesn’t guarantee anything for after I graduate, but it helps me get to the place where success and happiness will be easier to find.</p>
