The Academic Thread

[The Mask]

Great, holidays are my favourite part of the year

[Luftwaffles]

How is academic life for you all?

Nonexistent for me How is it going for you?

[Skyblade]

Stressful But I'll be okay.

I changed the poll.

I graduate next year. I feel really old now because I remember my brothers graduating and thinking that they were really old because of that.

2020! Sounds like a cool year to graduate in, plus easy to remember!

I thought that you were younger than that, but that's really cool! Are you planning to go to college after that?

[Mhera]

That's the plan!

[Luftwaffles]

That's the plan!

Wise decision

College is great.  I was watching tour groups of admitted but uncommitted high school seniors wander around campus from my window for a while this morning.  We get hundreds each day; each year about 15,000 of 50,000 applicants are admitted, and about 6,000 eventually commit.  Other than that, I have the due dates of several final papers coming up soon.  Two weeks of class left, then exams, then break!

Still undecided (but thankfully more clear than I was before), I took a free online majors test and got this for my top five choices. Frankly, I'm surprised. I will admit, however that these results are rather pleasant - and terrifying at the same time I'm not sure how accurate this test is, but it seemed pretty good. It's a guideline, anyway.

1. Music (I thought I would get this, but as my first choice??)
2. Music Education (Whaaat? Ok)
3. Journalism (Yes! It's one of my serious options)
4. Biochemistry (I've considered this before)
5. Religious Studies (Because of my faith, I think)


What's up with you all? School doesn't end in the summer, in a way.

[Wylder Treejumper]

*Shocked face* Sacrilege! How dare you violate the sanctity of summer free time!

Well, I'm (kind of) looking forward to next year. I'll be doing high school by taking college classes- The high school I'm going to is actually attached to the local community college. For the past 5 years, the school has had a 100% grad rate, and all graduates end up with an associates degree- that puts me 2 years ahead. Of course, the school closed its admissions in February, but I have a way around that.

[Skyblade]

That's amazing.

[Wylder Treejumper]

Indeed. Also, it's a bit weird- where I'll be, schools have 10 periods. My school now only has 6.

[Skyblade]

Sounds rigorous, which is good for a person/student like you. Best wishes!

Well, mine has 8 so, it met in the middle.


8th grade next year won't be that hard. I've talked to some of the ones who just finished and it just the stuff we already learned with a little more. By the time I get to college most of y'all will be either finished or almost. Well, I at least Rocktree is younger than me.
