Time Won't Let Me Go

Aug 16, 2009 02:06

I've realized how much I feel like my teen years have been a waste. I mean, I haven't been to any crazy parties, been able to hang out with friends afterschool all the time at their houses, been going to the mall, or have ever been to a single dance. I've had a crappy relationship. I sucked into a downward spiral of bad habits. I've worked my ass ( Read more... )

My senior year I moved to so cal and I had A TON of catching up to do. I was swamped all year. So I totally know what you mean. After that I took the summer and fall off and it kind of caught up with me. Not like, the schooling, but I guess I didnt do much and just sat around. So I'd contemplate still going in the fall, but if you're pretty active then I dont see why waiting till spring would mess you up. Especially if you've been taking AP classes and stuff.

I do have a lot of stuff to do and just by sitting and not wanting to do anything, it's catching up with me. I would love to take a season off to at least relax and catch my breath, but that's not possible more me. My parents expect me to leave the house by next fall. If I'm not in a college (as in a calstate, university, or private school) by next fall I get kicked out of the house. Community college isn't an option.

Living on my own would seem exciting except for the fact that I have no job (the economy is rough on young girls when it comes to getting a job), no place to go (I'd rather be on the street than with relatives), and no one to depend on so we can at least help support one another (my friends are college bound by next fall and I do not have a boyfriend to help me out either).

In a nutshell: it's either hit the books or hit the road. :(

Damn, your parents are brutal.
You dont go to TROY high do you?
cuz I know A shit ton of kids go there cuz their parents wont let them slack in the least bit. I used to go there. My dad forced me even though I wanted to go to fullerton.
oops, name slip ;)
its okay. I'm pretty curious where you exactly are, but if you're insistant on keeping it a secret from me its cool, I understand.
Thats brutal though. I dont have the grades to go to a UC. I'm in a CC right now, but I'm working my way up. I kinda messed up my schooling till I went to troy.

I know. They tell me "all we want you to do is try your best." That's a code for "you better not get a C in any classes."

I feel like I'm slowly cracking. And calstates may not except freshmen in 2010. I should remind them of this before they start packing my bags if I don't get into a college.

If all else fails, I'm gonna be a $20 hoe ( I know it's a half-baked back up plan). Screw it, I'll jump off a bridge. I feel like part of my family is pitted against me anyway. >.<

You can keep guessing but I'm not going to tell yet (I don't know, maybe later when I get to know you more). Just to let you know, I've never heard of Troy High but it sounds like hell (like my school in the AP classes).

Hopefully you get into a UC. What UC are you aiming for? I'm aiming for any school the San Diego area. If I can get into a school there, I'd be on cloud 9. But my parents are trying to send me to the City of Trees (Claremont). *insert crying here*
