Re:High school Grad.
Just don't do like I did and take Chemistry, History, Engineering Calculus, Engineering Design Graphics, Ag & Life Sciences and Ag Engineering all in your first semester. 
Man alive!!! Can you say 1.63 GPA??
Luckily I straightened myself out after that.

Re:High school Grad.
You really are an idiot, aren't you? 
I don't plan on doing that kind of load my freshman year. My parents are talking bout only making me take like 12 hours or something. But I've heard that the minimum is 15.

They're a good resource...and they'll be at your orientation so you'll be able to find them easy enough.

Re:High school Grad.
My major is going to be architecture. Don't know when orientation is. I'm going to get online and check it out tomorrow. I planned on going to fish camp. I'm like you (that sucks now that I think bout it ), I haven't had to crack a book to study since the 6th grade and I've pulled very solid A's and B's. I'm great at studying for semester exams. Ever since I learned how to, I've pulled solid A's and B's on those to (instead of C's and D's). I'm going to have to really crack down this time around. I've got a couple of people to prove myself to.

Re:High school Grad.
I don't condemn people that cannot spell or sometimes read. There are so many out there that don't get a chance to work with their hands! I know of so many kids and I'm sure most of you do aswell that couldn't learn sqwat from a book put em under a car and they are at home.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Re:High school Grad.
Yikes!!! All this Aggie talk and next thing someone will want an Aggie forum. :<br>Look what a certain university edumakashun did to one of our more 'talkative' members. Learned how to add extra fertilizer to his lawn and now look at it. Now I stop to think about it maybe he ate some as well. Could it be that is what has made him the way he is today

Re:High school Grad.
Getting serious for a change .....
What are all you 'still-wet-behind-the-ears' think-you know-it-all kids going to do with your education? Do you have a firm plan, a goal, or are you getting an education just because it is the thing to do?
Suggestion; Have a one, five and ten year goal. Plan everything around that goal. One important thing, get a mentor! (not a parent) One that will kick you where it hurts when you deviate and holds you responsible for your dumb actions in the future. One that can guide you in every way. Don't think you will not mess up royally, because you will! How you un-mess will help to decide you future successes and failures.
I am leaving in about half an hour to attend the graduation from university of my step-son. He is now a fully qualified architect. Today he also completes his building his 5th house and has had his own company for a few years now. He set this goal before high school and now he graduates top of the class. He already has orders for other new houses.
Don 't just bum your way thru universtiy and life waiting for something to drop into your lap. Make it happen! If you want something hard enough you will get it. The trick is to want it hard enough and jump thru all of lifes hoops to get it. I don't believe in good luck. Go out there and MAKE your own luck.
