    Ok, well, I have so many ideas of what I want to do after high school. My ideal future would be to go to art school or something art related but then i'm also not sure if i want to just move to europe and get ajob and have fun or just stay in the states and get a job or go to college in europe. and my friend is harassing me about this because she thinks this is a big decision and we're only 15 years old so we still have time, but she's getting all pissed off at me because i don't have my fucking future all figured out, and she wants us to go to the same college or wherever and whatnot, and i do want to go to the same college with her but if she wants to do something totally different than I do then of course I don't want to go to the same place with her....i guess i'm just looking for comments/advice on anything mentioned

    much apprecitated

    peace and love

    It is the dumbest type of pressure there is because the stupidest people are the ones who rush themselves twards a decision on what they will do for the rest of there lives. If you don't know what you want to do F' it . It is not good to rack your brain about it hell even if you have to take a year off after high school Id advize it over forced resolution in a sea of uncertainty. I tried deciding what I was going to do for the rest of my life when I was 17, found it to be a hollow pursuit and ended up funneling all my ambition twards dealing weed and ended up with a B felony, then I took some time and just thought and told anyone who wanted to pressure me over it they could piss off, and ended up with an ambition a little out of the main stream but a greater sense of drive and resolution Ive ever had before in my life

    Hope my advice helped, Peace!;)

    I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
    As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow,
    and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices
    of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.
    I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.

    i was in the same situation a year ago and trust me the friends you have in high school unfortunately arent the friends you have in college..you loose those ties sadly...just do what you want to id goto school because if you wanna make money(which isnt the most important thing, really the least important thing) then college is kinda necessary...but most of all do what makes you happy
