College

Well i had my first induction day at college today and it was good normally im a shy person and get very nervous but non of that happened, plus i talked to people instead of sittin there like an idiot, so it's back there tomorrow starting at 9:30 grrrrrrr and we have a skills test. But im glad im there a whole new start for me, as i was extremly unpopular at my old school,plus they have internet filters but this site isnt blocked, and they allow us to use social networking for 15 minutes per day, but if i take my own laptop in which i intend on doing i can waste my day on here instead of revising my a-levels. BTW this may not belong here is just sort of a ramble about my life feel free to move/delete

Congratulations on making it to college

Not many people make it to college!

But, watch out for the books... The books will, do things.....

in college at 16? nice.

Your 16 and in college?? Then, you... No... You must be one of the books! AAAGGHH!

I am highly jelous

Gnatsirt! He's one of the books!

Spoiler:

SOmeday i hope to make this post so this forum muxt stay active for the next three years! Congrattz man

I think Lee is at a sixth form college, not what we usually call a university. He is at what you would call senior high.

Dude if you want to avoid being unpopular, don't take your laptop to school. 15 minutes here is enough. Socialise like crazy!

oh, having your own laptop at school made you kinda cool/popular where I went. I didn't have my laptop back then, but somehow I managed to be popular-ish despite being anti-social, it was kinda weird really

Darkwing, what kind of popular was it? Popular as in everyone knew who you were or popular as in everyone liked you?

I was popular as in everyone knew who I was, I mean everyone, even the new little kiddy sixth graders knew who I was for some reason! Then the new sixth graders the next year knew who I was..... It was weird........

but of both. no I wasn't the "oh let's hang out with Chris" type, but a lot of people knew me, mostly because of the stuff I did there (ie editing the school musical for film and stuff, plus the drama plays and things) but also everyone got along with me too and very few people even remotely disliked me. Like I said, it was kinda weird, the whole I don't give a shit about teen drama thing really gets you a fair bit of respect I find but, I was always a guy people could talk to if they had a problem

Well im in newcastle college sixth form department (senior high) but if i wanted to do hefc's(higher education foundation course) i could have instead of As levels and then i would be in mainstream college. Well i have just had my induction finish today and i have 2 friends i am pleased with that as i am a very reculsive person ( the internet is diffrent) and it is so much better than school i can do as i wish now plus i get my EMA for going.

sounds like a program like we have here. While in high school, some of the course can be made to be university courses and you can essentially do year 1 university while still in high school

Another advantage is the college is ten minutes walk from the city centre, so it's easy to grab lunch plus the onsite cafe's and deli, just so happens the cafe is in the entrance of my block, so i end up with a tea and newspaper.

can you drive? i find it funny that you're in college and dont have a car

No i'm 16 my birthday is backend of july, the legal age to drive is 17

have I mentioned how I hate driving?

Come to Delaware and drive on Route 1. Typically people drive up at about 90 mph, which is... uh... 150 kph?

yikes, I have a hard time at 50kmh

Also insurance is ridiculous aswell as petrol prices, road tax, buying the car,MOT, servicing, and to pay for lessons and the test

I'll get to save about 500 bucks on insurance per year because I took the course

The problem is im a first time driver and im under 25 so it cost about £1500-£2000 per year

it's the same with me, except I'll only have to pay about 600 bucks per year because I took the course

I dont think there is anything like that here anyway im waiting until i join raf then i get it for free plus if i wanted to i could get a moped

I'd have to laugh at you if you got a moped though

That is why i am not getting on i may just buy a pushbike to save on bus fare

Insurance isn't needed, but in America your forced by law to have it. My mom had a very bad crash because some idiot got drunk. And insurance screwed us over, her neck is permanently messed up, the insurance said my mom was drunk, did insurance fraud, and faked the injuries WTF. There was a entire police report, we have like 3 policemen that saw the wreck. And fraud? The Policemen saw it, they saw the guy ram my mom. And then insurance screws us over, why have it when they will screw you over EVERY MOTHERF****** TIME??

you are one messed up person. To be honest, I have a hard time believing you with things sometime.

Dude, I'm not joking, shall I send you a invitation to her funeral when she dies? Or shall you believe me then? Insurance is so f****** messed up.....

so are books. you can see how you;re not vert believable can't you? I don't mean to make you upset or anything, I'm just saying your credibility levels aren't that high

The books are just a thing meant to add some humor, it's obviously not working.....

He...Hehe...Pfff...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA


And i thought that thing with the books was kind of obvious... Obvious, but not very effective.

Ermm, what? Are you being perverted or something? I don't get it..... Anyways it's a serious matter, why have insurance if they screw you over or try to screw you over?

Ramming someone has more than one meaning.

I meant, like, you run your car into someone elses... My mom's car is older and had a Steel Frame, the other idiot had a new fiber glass car, but he was driving real fast, and did some damage.

Your mommy got in a car wreck? That sucks.
