Junior year very important, must make honor roll, must make honor roll, must make honor roll.

Must go to college, I prefer going to Boston College but we'll see.

My head hurts. Must go to sleep. Grades have been on my kind for too long. Also the PSATS.

I have to be in the best maths level to be able to do the studies I want.

I actually did my GPA for all of the classes that I've taken and I basically have a 3.4 average which is a B+ in college classes, but in honors it goes down to a B- and in Advanced placement goes down to a C+. I'm in the college courses which is average and below that is standard. Standard are for those who do not plan on going to college, or they don't work as effeciently. So I have a wide range of people that I must be competitive with. The GPA is the deciding point for your class rank and certain colleges factor that in.

If I can get highest honors in my junior year then I'll be able to blow the competition away. Well except for the brainiacs, who were destined to remain on top in their advanced placement classes, but they won't be applying to colleges that I will. My point is, junior year is the last chance that I have to do well in school in order to go to a great college. Which is important because it's an accomplishment just being accepted. After that, it's a matter of epic responsibility and many bills to pay. I think I can handle it.

Right now it's my biggest goal to be accepted in tough schools that are a little below ivy-leage schools. (I know I mispelled that.) I wouldn't be crazy enough to apply to Harvard they would pee on my application. But I want to apply to Boston College because it's a difficult school and I want to achieve it. Amongst 22,000 they only admit an estimated 3,000 and focus more on out of state kids which I am not. Universities are too large, and I hate large classes, and scattered schools. A little voice in my head wants me to apply, no matter what, so I'm going to follow it even if it's just my ego. I know it's early to be talking about this, but you see I have a very big leap to take, in order to achieve my desires. I have to start now. I have a lot of obstacles in my path. For instance an estimated 32,000 dollar tuition, room and board. Very risky for someone who is not business oriented. What am I thinking?

P.S. Boston College is my ideal. Don't worry I'm strong enough to be rejected and to most likely change my mind. It resides in a suburban area right outside the city which is great for me. It's also a Roman Catholic Jesuit owned institution. But you should see the pictures it's too gorgeous to deny. I have two majors in mind but I think I will remain undecided for awhile. The very unfortunate part is that it's very costly place. Don't worry I will also be applying to lesser colleges as my back up support.

Try applying to Middlebury College in Vermont, it's where my dad works.

If you have to leave the boards for a while that's alright. We'll miss you, and we definately won't forget about you!!!

I've thought about college since I was in the 6th grade. That's how much I want to go. I think I got fueled when my brother went, and he told me stories at how great it was. My brother has already graduated, he works in Boston with business analyists. At first I wanted to go to NYU, but I changed my mind due to circumstances and such.

Are you planning on going to college?

Anyway, yes I've been thinking about a major, and I too have been very troubled. For one thing I would be so bored with myself, if I went for a business degree, just becuase it makes the most money. Uranus is in my 6th house, and it's difficult for me to adjust to conformity, you know, 9am to 6pm kind of jobs. Then again Saturn is in the same position, so right now they're bickering at one another, becuase one wants stability and the other doesnt.

Besides that, it looks like it's going to be a Liberal Arts major. But I have to be wise in which direction I will get pulled towards. I had a dream about this and I limited my choices into two places. One, I can pursue psychology and become a therapist or psychologist with a routine job. Second, I can pursue Philosophy and Religion, and then get a degree to become a Professor and teach the stuff I love talking about, on this site everyday. Aquarius is right on my 9th house and so is Mercury Rx.

Both of them are good but only one I think I'll love the most. I want the second one but I'm afraid of the years of schooling and also the tuition of the college I desire. So I'm afraid to pursue what might be the best for me because of money issues. So I don't know. Any advice QOS or anyone?

QOS, do you love Science? I have a sense that you'll pursue something in that area. Perhaps a biology or social science. Something to do with living organisms such as sea life or mammals. An Earth Science perhaps, not chemistry you hate chemistry, right? Physiology or Anatomy? I see you doing something with science.

Go for the religion degree, Star, it is just right for you if you like the idea of teaching.

posted September 25, 2003 12:01 PM         

Anyone else think I should go for that philosophy degree, and then teach it? I would like some advice!

i wanted to reply to your post much earlier but got sidetracked

if i remember right you are the one having sun ,jupiter and north node in pisces in the 10th house of career.right?
this combo indicates you will shine(sun)in the religion and philosophy (jupiter) option.
north node along with these 2 planets may indicate you may have to pass on your knowledge to others(teaching karma).

but keep your options open.

since i don't know the rest of your chart i can't say abt the therapist and psychology option.how is your 12th house?what is your chiron placement?

i am personally interested in psychology and therapy but don't be influenced but others opinion ; try to know more abt your career options;speak and interact with the students who are already pursuing these courses.

OMG i am now sounding like 'the elder sis'LOL

Besides that, my Sun and Jupiter are definitely in the 10th house, while Mercury sits in the 9th house as I also happen to speak Portugese. So it does look like I have a strong possibility for a philosophy degree. While my Saturn and Uranus are in Sagitarrius (religion, philosophy, again!) residing in my 6th house (work).

As for psycology and therapy I have Chiron and Moon in my 12th house which I've been told gives you healing abilities. I also have Neptune in my 7th house which is also in a lot of charts for people who are therapists. So I really don't know for sure yet.
