Did anyone ever get really tired of college? Of doing work, going to class, worrying about the future? I know it's supposed to be the greatest 4 years of life, and I feel like I'm throwing them away. I'm a senior and so sick of school. I feel bad, bc I know I'm lucky to be in college at all, but I just feel like I'm wasting time, taking classes that won't help me make a difference, and I'm just tired in general of writing papers and such. Am I the only one?

I want to go to a good college...I've slacked off all through high school, I've got a 2.833 GPA, but I still want to go to a good college. I feel like I would be letting people close to me down if I didn't get into a good college at this point. The only things I've got going for me at this point are the fact that I'm a really good trombone player (I intend for trombone performance to be my major) and I made a 29 on my ACT test. What are my chances of getting into a really good college?

Will a professor who I choose to supervise an "Individual Projects" class that I am taking earn money for teaching/supervising it? Or would he/she get stuck "volunteering." Background info:
People in my major who need elective credits can choose to take a class called "Individual Projects" where you earn up to 3 credits towards your degree. All you need to do is write a 20 page essay about any topic you want throughout the semester (4 months), and meet once a week with a Professor (you choose whatever professor you want) and show them what you have accomplished that week.
So my question is, if I choose a professor, will they think of this as a burden (because they don't get paid) or will they think of this as an honor/a chance to make more money (because they do get paid)?

I'd appreciate answers from actual professors or students who know for a fact.
Thanks.

I'm considering joining the army after high school for money for college. Before I make any decisions, I have some questions I hope you can answer.

> How much money will I get and how long do I have to serve?

> Does it make any difference because I'm a girl? Will there be anything I can/can't do?

> I'm kind of a wuss. I don't mind being yelled at or called a maggot, I mean physically. But I'm not opposed to getting in shape or training for it either.

> I'm not opposed to this either, but for my mother's sake, what are my chances of going to Iraq (etc.)?

> I graduate in May of 2008, but I don't turn 18 until September 2008. Will this cause any problems? (I'm thinking it will)

> Is it worth my time?

Thank you SO much for any answer you can provide me with. I want to go to medical school (preferrably University of Chicago) and I know I'm going to need lots of money.

Thanks again!

I really want to learn brazilian jiu-jitsu and right now I'm having a little trouble asking my parents. I'm a sophomore in high school and I juggle other sports such as golf. I want to learn brazilian jiu-jitsu as a hobby but do you think it would help me get into college such as something I could list or maybe somewhere I could get a letter of reccomendation from? I really want to take bjj but I think I would make a more convincing arguement it helped me get into a better college. Also later on if My bjj is very strong I want to become involved in Mixed Martial Arts is that a help too?

I know that a lot of colleges see the typical: good grades, SAT/ ACT scores, AP classes, extracurriculars, etc. But is that it? I can't say I'm the smartest student, but I meet the requirements to go above a regular course in high school. Teachers do recommend me to take AP, even though I'm not the top-notch AP student. Is that a disadvantage for me?

I have 6 classes left until I graduate with my bachelors degree. I'm planning on taking 4 in the winter semester and the other 2 in the spring and then graduating with my bachelors degree in May 2007. What I want to know is, would I be able to graduate and then in the summer and fall take the other 5 classes that I need for my 2 minors? (I'll need 3 extra classes for my minorin history and 2 for my spanish minor)

I don't want to wait until I get my minors completed because it'll take an extra 7 months and I want my bachelors degree ASAP so that I can look for a job sooner.

Will I be able to do this? Will I be able to get my degree and then have my minors noted later on my transcript??
