My high school required you to take a foreign language (either 3 years of one, or 4 years divided among 2 languages) but I find it ridiculous that people are expected to plan out the rest of their lives at such a young age, and if you mess up even in the slightest it could derail your entire future... which sounds super dumb to me

Sadly schools are more concerned about sending kids to college than actually preparing them for life and how to actually plan out a proper future. I got lucky and my school required 2 years of foreign language but unlike the rest of the district we had a second option is option Mandarin Chinese. And our teacher was even better because She continually tried to work with the college administration for the UC system to get her class and curriculum to be accepted as a college level foreign language.

@@clonescope2433 I agree. And even then, it seems like schools throw information on the kids until they eventually know how to "learn for college". You can't build habits for college if no one shows you. Schools don't show you basic financial skills unless you specifically take a course for them. Taking out loans and paying taxes should be taught in at least one of the main required classes, but it's not. A lot of teachers also don't really seem very interested in helping kids succeed, but a few do; and it sounds like you got a great teacher like that. You rarely see this kind of effort put in for the benefit of the students.

Honestly, high school is super stressful and one of the most stressful things is worrying about your future. Me being a freshman I already have to worry about planning my life and colleges I want to get into, and there are college scouts at a lot of my hockey games (I play AAA) which stresses me out to an immeasurable degree. I wish I was back in elementary school when all you worried about was when you would have a sleepover with your friend.

God I remember students who did everything this guy just recommended and never got even a reply for Ivy Leagues. Then there is my friend group who put almost no effort into high school, but instead did internships and other eye catching things and we all go to Perdue 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ it’s not just about how hard you work to lay the foundation, it’s about how you present yourself in the college interviews. If you walk in all cocky and full of yourself like the majority of try hards then you probably won’t get accepted. If you talk to them about what makes you special and don’t just focus on how you got an A+ and a 4.0 your freshman year and give the interviewer respect and show humility, then you have a higher chance of acceptance than the majority of those annoying try hards you hated in high school

Don’t let your grades drop but don’t worry about doing every honors class out there, that’s for college admissions when it comes to the 1% of the hardest universities. If you get a solid 3.0 or above and have a lot of internships or anything that relates to being a vet and use that in your admissions then you have the advantage over other students because the college will see determination and something that makes you stand out from all the other students that act like a heard of sheep when it comes to doing all the honors classes and all the additional AP classes. This is something thats been quite frankly over used and to the majority of college’s this stuff doesn’t matter to them. What matters to them now is seeing where you wanna go in life and what you’ve done to make that a reality and what you’re going to continue to do.

Wow thanks for all these great tips you are a life saver

God I hope I’m doing okay now. Just got selected for my National Honors Society.. and I’m a junior-

This couldn’t have come at a worse time

I'm in my junior year of high school now and I can say that I only did two of those things in freshman year... I did honors classes and I did Spanish 3 and Latin 1. (It's terrible doing two different languages at the same time though, especially when the verb conjugations are super similar but slightly different between the two languages). I still don't do any extracurriculars which is probably hurting my chances but I literally have no time because I'm doing five AP classes this year (APUSH, Calc BC, Physics 1, Research, and Lang) and they are really stressful lol. To make it even better, I had to also pick two electives so those are Latin 3 and Chamber Orchestra... which aren't easy either. I'm also in NHS, which I hope makes up for my lack of extracurriculars... and I volunteer at the library every Tuesday for NHS hours. Oh, and I started a book club at school. so yeah... this year is a big yikes and senior year is going to seem like such a breeze after this one (hopefully, even though I'm planning to take 5 AP classes next year too life is so great)

Thanks! Knowing what to do is really helpful!

I'm in ninth grade and I'm doing almost NONE OF THESE THINGS- except for except for extra curriculars. My only excuse is that picking a language to learn isn't required.

I’m a senior and I have never joined any extra curricular or after school activities. And I don’t regret it. I’d rather go home right after school ends instead of having to stay and play stupid sports. I’m not athletic at all. I’m very physically unfit. I’m 5 foot 10 and weigh 220LBS. And I’m doing good academically. I’ve got mostly As and Bs. I’ve never been suspended and I’ve never got any detentions or ISS. I don’t plan on going to college or trade school after I graduate I just wanna join the work force right away. And I’m not gonna have an occupation that requires intellectual capacity. I’m gonna do something simple.

I finished 8th grade 2 days ago and i already got the majority of this layed out. I have all honors classes, ive signed up for ASL, Im in chorus and i have been since 3rd grade and im prob gonna sign up for another extra-curricular but idk what until i get my schedule in July.
