4Th Avenue

I will be 17 in July. I've been homeschooled my whole life and I really enjoy it. I've been traveling most of my highschool years around the world. I am not doing any online program or any kind of accredited schoolwork. I'm 100% down to earth. I just use Wikipedia, books, and khan academy. So yes, nothing is accredited and I'm not part of any homeschool group or anything. This is all 100% legal In the state of Texas. I might go to college and I might not. I have been granted the opportunity to make strong connections in the diving industry, aviation industry, and real estate/gemology. So I do not need to get a degree to make money whatsoever. But if I do decide to go to college, can I even be accepted by any college at all? If I can't, it won't disappoint me at all. I am just curious. I don't take SAT or anything. I don't have a GPA either. Before you ask, yes, I can get a HS diploma. I am getting that in 6 months. But as far as everything else goes, Im not sure if I could even get into a college with no SAT or GPA or anything. And again, my diploma is fully accredited because my mother is a teacher. Thats the catch, so I am graduating early thankfully. So if I decide to go to college, can I even go? What's your opinion.

I know it varies by college and major but give me a general idea and some examples. How hard is the studying? Is there alot of reading and exams/tests. If so, how often? Just tell me everything i need to know about college studies so I can be prepared. Is it alot more then high school? Stressful, lots of reading, tests, atc... Also, how hard is the college SAT/ACT? Thanks and 10 points if you answer all the questions

How long does it take? What is it like? Is it hard? 10 points!

Colorado springs-Denver-boulder region. What is it like? I know some stuff about the weather but put Colorado in detail. (Colorado fall, winter, spring)

10 pts best answer to anyone who answers all the questions. Im talking about on and off campus.

What is it like?

Class sizes?

Exams/tests/assignments?

How much studying on average?

What's a day in the life like?

Also, what is the difference between ACT and SAT? How long do they last? Do you take one or both? Are they difficult?

Thanks alot!

How is all of that metropolitan area? What are some activities for a young single guy? What's the cost of living like compared to major coast cities in California? How's crime? If there is anything else you would like to tell me, feel free to do so. I'm trying to get alot of information about that area. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I live near Houston, and plan on moving to a new city when I turn 18 which will be soon.

I want a city with affordable housing, and good nightlife/social life.

I prefer a climate with sun, and not unbearably cold... Im currently visiting in Tucson, AZ for a week but it's too hot for me. I'm thinking about Colorado, but I'm afraid of the winters. I love dry weather though, so it could be okay, but I've never been there. I was in Orange County, CA a couple months go, but it seemed way to expensive. I would choose california over any state, but it is expensive if you want to be in a big city. I understand inland towns are cheaper in CA, but that's out of that question. If there are any parts of big cities/other cities near the major ones, let me know! Anyways, thanks!

Hi, I'm 16 yrs 7mths old, male.

I guess you could say I'm bi-curious.

Ive never told anyone that I'm even remotely interested in men...

I guess I'm just scared to, and living in Texas doesn't help. People where I live aren't to supportive for LGBT...

So basically I'm just trying to find myself. I'm a virgin, and have never done anything with a guy before. Im just trying to find myself and not feel lost anymore. I really want to just know if I am bi, gay, straight or what... Would it automatically mean im gay/bi if I experiment with a guy sometime? Im probably bi but I just want to know for sure. If there is a picture of a hot girl and hot guy standing by eachother or I see a hot young couple in a store, I always, always check out the guy first without realizing it... I'm just lost. Thanks for all the help you guys, really appreciate the time.

Tell me if you this this beginning would be attractive if it were a book. I am debating if I should continue it or not. Tell me what you think. I wrote it from my imagination today and typed it out.

I woke up feeling rather sore. I had gone on a long walk with my neighbors mutt yesterday afternoon, but that's a whole different story. 

My mother opened the blinds and the sun glared at my face. It felt like a hot iron rubbing the sides of my cheeks. I jumped up and let out a faint scream. She muttered "Pancakes are ready, get dressed". That got me looking forward to crawling out of bed. I checked my text messages on my blackberry, and just remembered something. The time read 10:07 AM. I was supposed to meet my father for coffee at 9:45 AM. Ever since my parents signed those divorce papers, my life has sort of, well, let's just say turned upside down. 

Many of my friends parents are divorced, but I would never fathom my parents divorcing. They were so perfect together, until that one day they signed those bloody papers! I ran into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and threw on my favorite set of clothes. My white-black pinned stripe Nautica shirt, it was linen, which feels so nice on a hot summer day in Florida. As well as my khaki shorts and my favorite Tommy Hilfiger shoes. I always like to dress rather neat when meeting my father. Please don't ask why. Your probably wondering what made my parents get divorced. They had a fight back in mid January of this year. My mother accused my father of sneaking out of the house on new years night, and ultimately, was sly enough to get on his phone without him noticing. What she found on his phone, let's just say wasn't exactly what she thought she'd find. She confronted him the next morning, and that's when he admitted to cheating on her. What a shame. I would never expect it out of my father, but hey, **** happens, right? My mother told me they are getting a divorce a few days later, which made me attempt suicide. I just couldn't seem to handle it. I grabbed a pancake, and headed out the door. The coffee shop wasn't far, but on such a hot day, driving is always at the top of my mind. ever since I got my license, I have been addicted to driving. All of my friends got their license at sixteen, but I just waited until eighteen, even though I felt very left out being the only one riding a bike to school. When I arrived at the coffee shop, which is probably the best one in the entire city of Palm Coast, FL, I  didn't see my father there. It was 10:41 AM. I had texted him earlier, at roughly 10:09 AM, and asked if we can meet at 10:30 AM instead, and added as an excuse that I didn't set an alarm because I don't have school since it's the beginning of summer. He said "that's fine, Nathan boy, see you at 10:30". My father always called me that, it got so annoying. I went in, and ordered my usual iced caramel macchiato with soy milk, tall, never vente or grande, always tall. 

I sat by the window waiting for him while scrolling through Facebook, which is such a cool website. Came out a month ago and already has so many people signed up! I bet Mark Zuckerberg  gets all the chicks. Anyways, I happen to lose time like usual when I browse Facebook, and it was 11:05 AM. My father still didn't walk through that door. So I called him, no answer, called him again, no answer. It made me feel worried but at the same time angry at him for not showing up. Maybe he had a wreck on the way, maybe he wanted to get me out of the house so he can go kill my mother for interrogating him for his filthy actions. Who knows, things were flying around in my head. The caffeine probably boosted my anxiety even more. I drove back home and told my mom, which she replied "he's fine, just don't think about him". 

"Well", I mumbled, "atleast I'm not the one who's a *****", which set her off. There goes our human behavior.  After arguing for half an hour like animals, my blackberry rang. It was my father. He told me he had a conference call that lasted longer than he could imagine. It was 12:15 PM. Not sure if what he said was true, but I just said "alright, whatever, another time", and right when I was about to hang up, he muttered "I have something for you, let's meet tomorrow at 8:00 PM", and we ended the call. My father is such a strange man, I thought. I wonder what it is he wants to give me.

I am looking to get a dog, but am very specific on what I am looking for. Name a list of dog breeds that do not shed whatsoever, good temperament (not hyper), intelligent, easy to train, and has to be small. I cant have a big dog, so small only. The most important thing is it CANNOT shed. Throw out some breeds that match the specs I listed, or atleast most of them. Thanks!

I have tried researching all of this on the internet for hours, with no luck... This is my last resort. I live in USA by the way. I want to know how I can become an EMT without getting any immunizations whatsoever. Including flu shot. That is my choice. I am willing to move to any state in the nation to become an EMT and get licensed and legally work in the field, without any vaccines or influenza shots. What states allow EMTs to avoid immunizations? This has always been my lifelong dream and I am determined to find a state/school that will allow me to get licensed without vaccines or flu shot.

Hi, I will be 18 in no time. I am definitely not going to college because I do not feel it is the right fit for me. Please don't try to convince me to go, because my mind is made up, thanks. Anyways, here is my question. I know it would be very, very difficult to run a lifestyle/career this way, but not impossible. My passion has always been to travel, I already know everything about the process to become a pilot and everything about a career in aviation. However, that is not my concern. I need ideas. Being straight to the point, how could I earn a living, while traveling all across Europe? I am not saying a couple month trip. I am meaning living in Europe while traveling EVERYWHERE. But making ends meet at the same time. Enough to buy food, water, clothes, all the things you need. Obviously, I cant get a job at a store/restaurant because I will be moving along across Europe. I don't know, I guess I am just exploring an option. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always been different than everyone else. I would love to travel Europe for years, but making atleast a little money so I can make it possible Enough of my rambling, Y'all should get the picture.. Answers are appreciated.

I just want to know how the college life is. How difficult, pros, cons, just basically everything about it. Anything and everything! Greatly appreciated!
