So I graduated a little over a week ago. Which I still can't believe, but that isn't even the point. Anyways.. the famous question would be "What Are You Going To Do Now Since You Are Finished with High School?"
So should I tell you the truth? I am so unprepared for the "real" world and i honestly don't know what i should do now.
I want to go to college for the experience and because I know I need the education and I want to make the best out of my life and i want to make the most amount of money that I can. But I really dread it all at the same time. I can be a very loud somewhat annoying person so it can be pretty hard to believe that i am actually very shy. I am only loud when i am around my friends or people that don't make me completely uncomfortable.
But i am so scared of having to meet new people on my own.
So i thought "Hey I should totally be in a sorority or at least try." But hey who am i honestly kidding. I am not that social with out my friends. I also was thinking about the whole pledging thing... I can not stand when people tell me what to do. I mean I have and follow rules but not ones from people that are only a little bit older than me and complete strangers.
So i don't know what to do..
I know some things that i want to do.
But throughout my life there has been many things that i wanted to do but i never did.
Not alll of the things i wanted to do but didn't get to was completely all of my fault but some of it was.
I guess just honestly I have to admitt I am affraid of failure and never being good enough.
Everyone around me seems to be knowing what they are going to do with their lives and i feel so alone.
One of my friends is going into the Air National Guard and another is moving to NC (i live in Alabama) to attend college. Why do they keep leaving me? Because things truely do completely change after high school. So if you haven't graduated get prepared for a lot of change.
Well at least you admitted your afraid of failure. I think everyone is. Most of the time the correct thing to do is go to college, get your degree, get a job, get married, get a house, have kids, and I could go on and on. But college is something that you have to prepare your mind for. It will help you get some money and hopefully let you do what you really love to do.
your comments are always the best and helpful.

I think most people share your fears. Luckily, college is probably the best place for you right now. College is the place where you can take a few more years to learn about yourself and what you're interested in and decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. I know for me college changed my life. High school suffocated me and made me feel like I'd never be able to accomplish anything. In college, you let your natural interests and curiousity lead you down the right path. Eventually, you make friends with people who are in your classes and in the same clubs. You automatically, then, have things in common.
And if you fail at something in college, it can only be chalked up to a learning experience and you have so many more opportunities to try again.
for the really great advice, but if i fail at college then that will be a really expensive learning experience. Ha!
