College is just aroung the corner for me! I’m going to the University of Chicago In September-ish. I’m still confused about what I’m going to do and my mom keeps on telling me to get my ass off the computer and do something with my life! Man I am getting so stressed! Yesterday I woke up with like 6 zits on my forehead! Help me because I obviously can’t do this by myself! If don’t want to help get your ass off this topic because this is no laughing matter!

Just follow what you truly want to be. If you want to be a lawyer, go for it. Look up for what classes you should take via internet. They will suggest stuff to you.

Guests don’t make decisions.

I’m going to jump on the “take what you want” bandwagon.

In my opinion Aaron’s “basics” are bullshit. There are no general basics for anyone to take, it depends on what you want out of school and afterwards.

If you want to be a lawyer then look into it, see what your options are.

If it turns out that it wont quite work for you that way, then take what interests you.

.....politics maybe?


Personally I think you should be an environmental lawyer lol.
I’m taking 3 environmental law and policy courses right now, one of which is taught by an environmental lawyer...neat stuff.
