When should I start worrying about college?
I wouldn't "worry" about college, but it's obvious you're thinking ahead, which is commendable. I agree with the previous poster who said to call the admissions office & ask them exactly what you said here. I waited 12 years after high school to go to college, it took me 5 years till I finally graduated with my Bach' degree! It was exhilarating! So there really is no "worries" but definitely keep planning ahead. Do you plan on waiting till you're 18+ to start college, or is that why you're going to take the GED in 10th grade so you can start college sooner? Either way there is courses in high school that you can take that will help you prepare for any type of college you decide to attend. They will have you take a math & English test as someone said, it's not to pass or fail you, but to assess what level of classes you will need to begin with in college. So if you can concentrate on those courses so you can get through the college Math & English quicker & easier. (Trust me on this, I had to take 4 semesters of college algebra because I didn't take enough in High School. Have fun!
Worried. What college can I get into with my gpa?
That's not a GPA, but an average. Your GPA is 3.066 which isn't terrible. Work extra hard in school this year to bring up that GPA a bit to about a 3.4 or above if possible. Do well on your SAT and ACT. Take prep classes or do online prep, whichever you can in order to get the best possible scores. If you are first generation to go to college, you re eligible for a BUNCH of scholarships. Anyway, what you can do now is try as hard as possible in school.
Boyfriend going to college, worried?
I wanted to offer an alternate perspective, so please hear me out. First of all, high school-college relationships CAN work, but they are definitely take a lot of effort. Skype and phone calls will definitely help and considering it is only 2.5 hours away, that will help a lot because you guys can visit each other. I had a college-highschool relationship for a little while, but it didnt work because he went to college across the country. We stayed friends and stayed in touch and its now the first summer since we broke up and we are like a "friends with benefits" sort of thing because we cant get back together because of college, but we both still like each other a lot. The point of this is, even if it DOESNT work out... i urge you to stay in touch and friendly. Maybe its just not your time yet. I keep telling myself that its not my time to be with him yet, but hopefully in the future we will reconnect. I have a few friends who continued their relationships with their boyfriends once their bf went to college and are still in those relationships. They say it is very difficult but it CAN work. Lastly! There are TONS of websites out there to help people with LDRs (long distance relationships). He sounds like a great guy so i doubt he will cheat on you, but one thing about college-highschool relationships is, you need to give each other your space AND you cant get jealous if ur guy hangs with other girls (as friends) ... TRUST is a MAJOR part of relationships and they dont work without it
I'm worried about college. Can someone explain all of this to me?
I don't think you will find quality schools that offer bachelors degrees online. In my experience (which is not comprehensive), they want you on campus and in my opinion, that makes sense, because college is not just about book-learning, facts, and skills. Even if there is such a program, I recommend you not do the online route if at all possible, because the shared experience with instructors and other students is part of your education.Yes, employers do look at where you went to school but it’s not the most important factor. They value higher education from any reputable school. A highly esteemed school on your resume will never get you a job, but it might get you an interview. That said, some schools are dicey and do not have a great reputation. I have heard some questionable things about the University of Phoenix but don't have detailed knowledge or experience. Google “reputation university of phoenix” and you will find opinions.I am wondering why you’re so reluctant to get attend on-campus. Is it social anxiety? Or a disability? If the latter, you might reach out to schools and find out what allowances they make.Sounds like you’re stressed out over this. I understand, it’s a difficult transition but you are obviously articulate and smart. I have a feeling that you can do this, but maybe not right now? Are there people at your school (like counselors or teachers you trust) you can talk to about the possibilities?One possibility is to wait and get a job after high school, and go to college when you feel more ready. You do not have to go to college to have a happy life and you do not have to go to college on anyone else’s set schedule. You have choices.
Should I be worried about my boyfriend going to college?
Well, it's not wrong for you to be worried, but don't let college be the reason for you guys to grow apart or for him to find someone else. Make sure to talk to him often, or at least leave him long messages that he can read. Keep your relationship strong and keep doing what you're doing to better the relationship. My boyfriend or as I call him my husband, LOL, is also leaving for college this year too, and we've been together for a year as well. I'm pretty worried as you are, but he leaves me no reason to be. So my advice to you is just to keep doing things that will better your relationship. Try to make the time you see him worthful and wonderful. If you're not able to see him then mail him gifts or things that will remind him of you and tell him how much you mean to him. I also advise you to tell him that you're worried that you guys will grow apart because of the new distance. But yeah, since he's a good boyfriend I'm sure he'll comfort you and things will be fine. Just keep doing your thing and I believe you guys! Good luck!

How do I stop feeling worried about leaving my parents for college?
I don’t know really what’s the exact action to stop feeling guilty .But what I think that can help is , remind yourself constantly that leaving your family behind by going to college doesn’t mean you’re completely dismissing them from your life .You are doing this to ensure a better future , not for you ,yourself but your family too .I’m pretty sure you’re bounded to get home sick but be grateful for now days technologies as you can still see them even if you’re at different continent of the world .If you set your priorities right , you will eventually find time to talk to your families back home when you’re in college .Besides , I think your family members must be so proud of you that you’re not disregarding your studies. They’re gonna give you their full support and I believe they will understand that now that you’re in college , you’ll be busy with studies and extra activities. They won’t be waiting for you to call them 24/7 so yeah you get it right ?It’s okay to feel guilty because in life , in order to move forward , you’ve to make sacrifices no matter what .And in your situation Rn, you’re sacrificing the time youre bound to spend with family for your studies .Just don’t forsaken it no matter what . Because some people out there don’t have the chances at all to further their studies .So yeah , all the best then :)
I have low attendance at college (70%) I'm really worried about being kicked out?
It sounds like you have been going through a lot lately. It is important to understand that the thoughts that you think dictate the feelings that you feel. If you think negative or sad thoughts, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel sad. If you think positive thoughts, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel happy and calm. To overcome depression, you must change your thought patterns, otherwise known as using “thought stopping techniques.” One way to do this is to carry around a small notebook and write down every negative or sad thought that you have. This will help you to see how many of your thoughts are negative. The average person thinks a negative thought every two minutes! Then, after writing down the negative or sad thought, immediately write down or say out loud a positive thought. Come up with a list of positive thoughts that you can tell yourself: “I’m OK.” “Today is a good day because I am choosing that it will be.” “I am strong.” “This too will pass, and I will get through this.” Additionally, check out the following 99 coping skills, which can help you to refocus your thoughts on positive things: http://www.yourlifeyourvoice.org/Discove... Sometimes it can help to talk to someone and tell them about what you are going through. Please know that there are people who can and will help you with what you are going through. You may want to consider talking with a counselor at a hotline. There are many hotlines that are 24/7 and will work with you and situations like yours. Some even have email and/or chat if you would prefer. Hopefully, you will continue to reach out! Sincerely, KO, Counselor
Should I be worried about my boyfriend going to college parties?
My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for almost 3 months. He's an incredible guy and he's always really good to me- for instance he wants to see me everyday and he's making me dinner for our 3 months anniversary. I'm really surprised because last night he told me he's excited to visit his friend at college and go to college parties with him. Then he mumbled something about how I have a school activity that weekend on my calendar. It didn't make any sense because I definitely do not and he didn't explain what he was talking about. Last time he got drunk he threw up in front of me so I'm worried about him binge drinking. The other thing I'm worried about is the girls there. Am I wrong to be worried about it? Should I talk to him somehow? He goes to high school parties without me sometimes but I trust the friends he's with. Help? Thanks! :)
I'm going to a college in a different city. I am worried about my parents. Can someone help?
Don’t worry , they are much experienced and much matured than you think , not only your parents but maximum parents will take care of themselves.They may showing their emotions as you are going far from them, but they have internal happiness that you their son/ daughter is stepping into next level of hir/ her life, progress and success will be his/her companion.Your dad believes that you will learn new way to live life. Except your mother who always pray to god for your good health and demand you to eat properly in every phone call.Overall, What you can do is ,Call them Daily (doest matter how busy you are )Send gift to them (buy good saree/accessories online or send them cakes on their birthday / Anniversaries)Give them surprise visit (If you living no too far)Always check their Medical need (Keep your family doctor contact number with you to update their health)Parents are world best gift……..
