what surprises you the most??????????

any specific questions you want me to answer? there's nothing you really need to "do" right now, just enjoy your time as a non adult while you still can lol

Yes, I am an adult lol (18). Bagley pretty much hit the nail on the head - enjoy your time now as much as you can, since once you're older, people will not only expect you to be more responsible for the most part, but also will generally give you more responsibility, so every day counts now before you won't have as much time to do anything you want to do.

As for school, if you're planning to attend college, I'd suggest starting to research those now - see which ones you like best and which ones are the best options to go to, make sure you have all the classes you need, make sure your transcripts are ready, take a SAT/ACT test. Most people I know who were in public school (but have graduated by now) were already preparing that stuff in junior year, so when their final year of high school came around and they were seniors, they could relax a bit and have a lighter workload at school so they could enjoy themselves before having to "become an adult".

Despite being homeschooled and not public schooled, I still made the mistake of not looking at colleges or making sure I had all the classes to even attend one until later last year (and I needed more classes), so now I have 7-8 classes going on at the same time and I'm kinda swamped (this doesn't even include when I work); no matter how hard I try to complete them, there is still a very large possibility that I won't complete them in time and thus won't graduate thanks to my mistake. No one else I know of is having to deal with this (because they were all smarter than me), so take charge of what you need to do before it's too late.



OT: The things I get surprised at the most are when things I never expect to change, well, end up changing. For example, when I was a kid and couldn't yet help my dad do any work, my siblings and I would be left at my grandmother's house, where I would learn a lot of things over the years (my first use of a computer for school, how to ride a bike, how to play piano, how to write cursive, my first video game, what proper manners are, how to clean things, and later how to use tools, among many other things; it helped that my grandmother was a former elementary school teacher so she was very helpful in school when I was young).

I ended up spending more daytime hours each week at my grandmother's house than at my own, for the most part, from ever since I was born up until I was around 14 through 16 years old, when my family began planning to sell the house (which has a lot of sentimental value since my late grandfather built it himself in 1957, and my grandmother's lived there ever since). Even though it has technically been sold, my grandmother hasn't been told to move off the property yet, but it could very well happen this summer and it will hit us all like a truck when it does, since there will be so much stuff to move out and it seemed like a day that would never actually come.

I may go into university. I am also canadian, so i take PAT, which is a canadian SAT.
But yeah, I'm taking social 10-1 next quarter, because you need social 30 and english 30 to graduate. And having them on the dash 1 level is even better. But yeah, we are in the quarter system. Which is the semester system cut into quarters. And yeah.
