| selfmade52 asks: |
| ight so heres the thing,im starting college in the fall.i have planed on moving for the past 6 months while i went away from home for a lil bit.but now that i get home i really want to stay here and go to college here.i have been in some trouble and i am afraid that if i stay here i will end up not finishing skool and geting back into dumb shit.should i risk it?or should i go to the skool that i have planed to for the last 6 months? |

| adam32m says: |
| I have seen this happen to people I know before, and it seems that it is better to get away from a bad place. If you might not finish school at home for certain reasons, it isn't worth the risk. Go and start your life fresh. |

| huh? asks: |
| my mom thinks i need to go on birth control for college.. she's not sure if i'm gonna be out drinking at partys and stuff and honestly neither am i.. her and my dad both want me to go on the pill just incase of something like someone spiking my drinks or taking advantage of me.. do u think that's a good idea? idk what effects going on the pill will have.. |
|
| adam32m says: |
| If that is the sole reason of going on the pill, I would say don't do it. If that were to happen, you would be at a higher risk of getting an STI than pregnant, which birth control wouldn't prevent anyways. If you do go to parties, don't accept drinks from anyone, always keep your cup with you and keep an eye on it, always go with a group of friends who will watch out for each other. Those things will protect you more than birth control alone. |

| shady117 asks: |
| do colleges really not look at your freshman year |
|
| adam32m says: |
| No, they look at your freshman year. They look at several things, and different colleges place more emphasis on different things, but they look at everything as a whole. Freshman year is important in two ways; first it shows how well you performed, and also how you progressed from your freshmen year. |

| Katy88 asks: |
| I'm applying to colleges. I wanted to know: A lot of colleges that I'm applying to have unlimited meal plans. I'm worried that I'll make a pig of myself if I get one. Should I take a lesser meal plan, even if there's a risk I'll run out of meals, and have to use money for it? |
|
| adam32m says: |
| I am one of the few people I know that have the max amount of mealplans. I like being able to eat 3 meals a day, but for most people that is either too many meals. It all depends on how often you eat. |

| Colleges will still accept you. You don't need a major right away, some schools allow you to be undecided for 2 years. |

| Vaprincess011 asks: |
| Me and my friends have been thinking about college since, forever. We have already decided to go to Gerogia State University, and everything. That we would be in the same dorm. But the time to go to college is becoming oloser and closer and i am starting to feel that me and my friends want be able to attend the same college, and if we do, how will be in the same dorm? it is all to confusing, because i can't be without them! help! |
|
| adam32m says: |
| You can request roommates. I have seen rooming with your best friends turn out badly more often than it working. College is a time when people will change a lot, you need to be open with each other on those things. If you don't go to the same school, it is still possible to remain friends. |

| adam32m says: |
| if you don't get into a college, you can get into a community college for two years and transfer into a bigger school. If you do well this year college's will notice and they will accept you. |
