dont worry believe me many are in your shoes. it takes time to know what u really want.. i would consider u start taking your basics either at a college or university. talk to people look around search different careers. and do what u like.choose something u will be happy doing for a living.

If you really want to i think you should try it and if you dont like it then leave i guess. It wont hurt you to try. but if you are really busy and would like to go to college more than join the roller derby then do that.

You need to weigh what you have to do now against the result in the end.  Can you afford it?  Some people spend much more than that for college.  If that is what you want to do with your life, and you can afford it, go for it.  There is nothing like going to work and enjoying what you do, regardless of the pay.

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

Sounds like you have a great attitude and/or a good school. Most people don't like school, because it makes them feel like they are wasting their time, or makes them feel bad about themselves in some way. A lot of people find that they like college a lot more than high school, because they have a purpose, and people aren't putting them down.

There is nothing that says you have to go to school in your case.  Plenty of people are successful without college. You should look at what you want to do for a job and base your decision on that.  Would you go to school if it guaranteed you higher wages in the future and for the rest of your life?  Find your reason for going to school and theres your motivation.  If you don't find a reason, then you might as well save your money.

College is awesome. Don't get scared. It's nothing like High School. There is more freedom to do things(depending on school selection). I'm sure you'll find people who like the same things you do. I hardly ever see anyone who I went to High School with, but it's in college where you will find colleges and friends for life. You are around people who are over the age of 18 (not like high school, where majority of them are under 18 and immature.) You'll do fine. However, there are some people who get homesick if they are away from their hometown. But I wouldn't know that feeling, b/c I was out of my parents house the weekend I turned 18. I started college at the age of 22, and was out on my own anyway. Keep focused on your school, college rocks and there is usually parties all the time. Be paticular about who you choose as your peers. Be strong, if you can't make it through the life of college...you won't ever make a good paycheck....just kidding, but seriously...life will be harder if you can't even survive college. You will go through a lot and exerience a lot, and depending on how much you have already been exposed too....you will see and meet new and interesting people and maybe even a soul mate. Good Luck!

Everybody dreams of getting something. It depends on how much you really want it. \n\nIf you really want it so much, then challenging classes shouldn't be a problem. Tackle it head on and when you manage to breeze through it, imagine the satisfaction you'll get from it!\n\nI'm going through a similar situation and because I want it so badly, I'm sacrificing a year more to be in college to get to the degree.\n\nSo ultimately you gotta ask yourself, how much do you want to fulfill that dream of yours? And keep in mind, not everyone get the chance to pursue their dream degree. If you got the chance, grab it and treasure it!  =)

yep. Unless your college prohibits it. If those are what you like, then go for it!

I guess I decided when I got out of High School.\n\nIts not something I dreamed of doing. Its just something I enjoy doing. Something that makes me happy. You have to find something that makes you feel good about yourself and you really enjoy doing it or otherwise your gonna drop it halfways. \n\nI decided I wantede to become a gourmet chef and am trying to get into a Culinary Arts school.\nI enjoy cooking and it benefits others because poeple enjoy eating good food and they got to eat to survive.

Probably. There are many confused freshmen out there who don't know what they want to do and who mess up.  \nYou just need to sound like you now have a goal and a plan (and actually- your description above doesn't have me that convinced- are you sure you are ready to go back?)

Dont be! Me thinks that applies to everybody. Dont feel like that, im sure better things will come your way, im sure it eventually will!\n\nHow does one know where one wants to be in life?\nI cant quite get what you're trying to ask, but let me try :)\n\n--Well, sometimes you dont and stuff just happens untill you are where you are, and sometimes you have to plan things out to get to where you want to be.\n\nHmm...\nIf you really need to see what will come to you in the future, i guess you would have to have a goal or an aspiration... a dream! Lollers, and then take the necessary steps, or make the decisions that you might know will get you there... y'know :-)\n\nHonestly, i myself cant seem to place my self in this world, and even to know exactly what will become of me when i get older.\n\nI have tried to make plans, i have my dreams, but sometimes things just dont work out the way it should be.\n\naaaanyway.\nI suggest you don't let things happen - make things happen. youl know when your there after all those decisions and forks-in-the-road and shat.

College is for the life experience.  If you want to work for someone then go to college.  If you want to start up your own company and be your own boss, then you really don't need it.  You just need a good idea, a good personality, and pit bull tenacity.

It depends.  If you have financial contraints to go to college, you might have to work before going to college.  If you can afford it and want to go to college, it's better to go straight to college from high school so you're not distracted by anything else.  Procrastination can prevent you from finishing college.
