Re: I really don't want to be forced to wait a whole year before college and be far behind my age-appropriate peers - January 12th 2016, 10:41 PM

One thing that I forgot to add is that I do understand that it is very common for some people to take a year off if they need to work or if there's something majorly important they need to do or something fun they want to do at first opportunity. I posted this thread because 2015 has not been a very good year for many reasons, and that the time spent at home was *not* spent on anything productive or enjoyable.

Usually when little kids, at least, think of a break away from school, they look forward to having fun for a while (during Christmas break or summer break) before going back to the business of school and testing and homework. The "break" for me didn't feel like a break because the house I'm staying at is boring for the while (because of several family issues, and poverty due to a recently elected governor in my state that makes poor decisions, these are problems that started at the beginning of 2015).

I never said you were lazy, some classes are hard, if you ask for help with them you should be fine. I'm being tough with you because I've been there done that at 3 different colleges and 2 different levels. I know what it's like.
Yes, that paragraph was about the registration step only.
