i feel like i should offer some advice but really, i feel alot like what you just described. this period in our lives is really just a time to find ourselves. some people live their whole lives and never explore the possibilities, go to college when/if you want to, whether its right after you graduate or years down the line, i think you appreciate it more when you're ready, atleast thats how i feel. the world is not always a pretty place to get lost in but i think you'll do fine if you come into it with a clear mind.
Everything you have said is so true Jimmy John. There are people that don't actually live out their lives and explore the possibilities, and the world is not always a pretty place (that is for sure) but how do you know when you are ready for such things like college? How do you make sure that you don't get too caught up in time and let opportunities pass you by? I feel like there is so much I want to do in life, but for now it is all out of reach.
I suppose i can attempt to shed a little bit of light on the college situation noting that ive been thinking many of the things you say you've been contemplating. My final goal, and i cant say this for everyone, in college is simply to get a degree in somthing i can see myself doing happily for a long period of time. There are ALOT of creative majors out there to pick from, and chances are you can do somthing that you'll enjoy. also, ive found that here the workload is alot different than highschool. its sooooo much more focused, and definitely smaller. Besides the work aspect, college is really really fun! (!!!) If you go to a big/medium sized college near a major city theres alot to do and i garuntee that you will make alot of friends. (especially a pretty girl like yourself

Thanks for the advice everyone! I guess I'm just confused and feel like because I was held back my whole "college/life plan" got screwed up since orginially I was going to take a year off and travel and do something productive w/ my life to help others and/or the enviroment. I also am kinda afraid that if I take a year off I will never go back to the schooling system and I feel that I am a year behind now, why make it 2? Maybe because I have so much shit going on right now I just can't see past it, I can't see to other possibilities and I just don't want the stress of thinking about college so soon. Hell, I was looking at this sheet of colleges my mom printed out and I just felt like I was going to cry, I felt so fustrated like "how will I ever get into theat school?" or "what if I don't find a school that I actually like?" >sigh< There is probably just too much going on and my parents expecatations are too high. They try to plan out my life for me, and I think that is where the major problem is since they can't do everything for me (
