Catie Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 hahah yeah i see your point faith. and you're right, good thinking. too bad i have a massive crush on someone already so it sucks even more knowing that i probably won't be with him.

hubabalou Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 hahahaha. I have a crush on someone too, but its so ridiculously unrealistic that I've gotten over it. I've accepted that he's just gonna be a friend of mine for now. He's clearly stated that he has no desire to be in a relationship any time soon because of his band, and I respect that decision 100%. I also have that whole, if its meant to happen, it will mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catie Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 i love the way you think hahaha i wish i could accept it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 It comes with age Catie. Honestly, it really does. This time last year I wouldn't have thought this way, but college changes your perspective on a lot of things. I also blame my brother a bit. He's had some really shitty relationships and I don't really want to go through that, so I'm willing to wait till I'm mature enough to handle it. Its not really his fault, but its how I've perceived all the stuff he's been through that has really skewed my thoughts on being in a relationship at my age.

Catie Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 yeah, hopefully things will turn around in college. i know how that is. i've learned alot of things (not necessarily relationships) from watching my older sister grow up.

hubabalou Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 My biggest advice is to not do anything your first year. Stay away from relationships freshman year. Mainly because guys think they can conquer in college. Freshmen guys will be all about fooling around, upperclassmen will think that freshman girls will do just about anything to fit in and have that "college experience." A lot of my friends got hurt their freshman year because they were so excited about being away from home and having the freedom to be with any guy and do stuff. Focus freshman year on making friends and getting acclimated with your new environment. Thats what I did and I think I had one of the greatest years ever. Honestly, I loved freshman year so much.

Catie Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 okay. thank you. i will take that advice. it makes so much sense. freshman year i planned on focusing on grades, joining clubs, and cheerleading anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thats a good thing to focus on. I really wish I had spent more time looking into clubs and stuff... but my school really doesn't have that many that I'm aware of. I tried to join the Music Business news blogs thing, but not that many people were interested so it didn't really happen. Maybe next year. Honestly though, don't get too involved either. Take it one step at time. You never know how heavy your class load is going to be. I didn't do much my first semester, got more involved second semester.

Lauraaax Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 All this talk of college makes me wish I was two years older. Although over here it's just uni. I still don't get the difference between college and university in the US haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catie Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 there basically is no difference. college and university are the same thing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 ^ See, I'm not excited to grow up. I'm sure college will be a blast, but I'm not in any hurry to step into the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauraaax Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ahh thanks that makes sense Hmm I miss school now I've left but I also can't wait til uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah, there's no difference between college and university here in the US. The only real difference is that universities tend to be more prestigious and have more programs. They typically have better graduate programs than colleges as well. But when someone says they're in college its basically the same thing as saying they're in university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgi Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 i am so, so excited to go to university. assuming i didn't ruin my A levels and i get what i'm predicted, i get a rather tasty academic grant (it really is quite a delicious amount) which shall fund my plans for a romp around america. ....i mean, will pay for all the books i'll be studying from. yup. that too. also, boys smell.

Jorgi Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ummmm. Like, final exams ? I don't know how to compare it to you guys because i don't know the system in america.... hah, helpful. But basically, in year 11 (15-16 year olds) you sit your GCSEs, then you have the choice to leave school or stay on at a college or sixth form (which is what i did) to do your A levels for 2 years - I did A levels in History, English Literature and Media Studies, for example - the grades and subjects that you get for your A levels (usually) determines which universities you can apply/get into. does that make any sense ? I'm not sure it does, but i'm okay with it This romp around America includes California, correct? but of course. LA and NY are definites as i have places to stay in both of them, but i want to do a proper cross-state jobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main thing that really makes the biggest difference is that y'all have college and university and thats the big confusing thing for those in the US.
