thinking up all these retarded things,but I feel the only truly educated ones our those whom end up as scientists or naturalists.they tend to see things as they really are,not as they like the world to be.

“Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.”

I really do need a graphic, picture, or whatever. I was thinking of a clock, but that would probably seem random, and all my father can think of is The Thinker and Atlas (the guy with the globe).

I'm in college and I feel like maybe I'm naive and I'm not studying enough. All of my classes seem easy/fine to me. I haven't had any trouble. But it seems like everyone else is spending a lot more time studying.

I haven't had any tests yet (my first are in two weeks), and I do my homework for classes every day. MWF I have three classes and I do homework for about... Three or four hours. Maybe a bit more. Tues/Thurs, I have two classes and it takes me two to three hours.

I haven't actually "studied" anything yet. But I plan on doing so about a week before the tests.

Is that stupid of me? I feel like I'm fine, but I don't want to not study and then realize that I really should have.

2007-09-16 07:42:40 · 2 answers · asked by Beck92 4 in Special Education

i'm a sophmore in high school right now, and i want to either major in medicine or culinary. as for medical, what do you suggest i take in hs? ex. honors classes, clubs, etc. i need guidance & i hope you users can help me.

right now, my classes are-
honors biology
geometry
honors u.s history
english academic
adv. alegebra 2
honors spanish

do i mark up to the standards? do i even have a chance to get into a good college? my gpa is currently 3.8777, and i feel that the classes i'm taking right now are not considered "a medical futured student" to have. do i have to be super intelligent, be two math classes ahead, all honors, to become a successful student? to be honest, i'm not that smart of a person, and i don't know whether my classes will cut it. everyone that have given me advice have told me, "all honors, straight a's, involvement..in higher classes than your average collegue/student friends" to me, that seems impossible....but i don't know.

I'm in my third year of college and ever since I started my freshman year it seems as though I haven't wanted to be here. I never like going to class, I hate doing assignments. But it's not like I did bad all my life, in high school I was an excellent student. My mom thinks i'm home sick, which isn't true because I absolutely hate the town i'm from and never want to go back. Anyway, i'm starting to think college isn't for me. I really want to travel and pursue a photography career, but I don't want to go to college. Is there any advice to a 20 year old college student who wants to drop out? and is there any other way that I can pursue photography without going to school?
