Well, dude, have insentive. My dad got in a horrific car accident when he was 19, lost a ton of school, and went to summer school and made it all up because he wanted to graduate with his friends. Why would you want to go to college dumb? Don't you want to have somewhat of a future besides skiing? Go to summer school, and don't be a lazy bum.

so, you tell us you "feel like you have better shit to do," and say you dont try, and then are scared about getting into college? Interesting.

How about you try? Your future is more important than the "shit" you HAVE to do.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

everyone makes it seem like your college matters so much for the rest of your life. but you can go to a community college for 1 or 2 years and transfer to good college still. and unless your gonna be a doctor or something like that your your college doesnt matter that much.im going to cmc i think too. im in the same situation as you. i could get pretty good grades if i did homework and studied and shit. but i think an 85 average is good enough to get into a community college so why bust my ass when i dont need to.

haha o well i didnt think you were that dumb. yeah i seriously think i have done homework as in work at my house 5 times this year. i do shit in school when im not too tired. idk why yer talking about college if your not even going to graduate. but if you graduate a community college in your state pretty much has to except you. cmc says you need a 860 on the old sats(idk what they would be on the new) or a placement test.

yo spic youre an idiot, community colleges arent grade 13, all the courses are universal university courses, every credit i earned at a community college is transfering over to the university I am transfering to, same work load and curriculum-

anyways man, i did terrible in high school, primarily because of lazyness, go to a community college, step it up and earn a good gpa and transfer to a university as a sophmore and you will be fine, just party and have fun but make sure you pull off a good gpa and youre money

CMC I believe is technically a Community College. Locally (in MA), many Community Colleges will take you if you walk in the door and sign a peice of paper. However, I recently went through getting back into school, and applied at CMC, no letters of recomendation, no essays, no nadda needed (just transcripts - but I had also gone to college before, but screwed it up). I wouldn't worry too much about getting into a community college (especially since you don't need a HS diploma, but typically at least need a GED - but not always). The worst thing that can typically happen with a Community College (this has happened to a couple friends) is that you screw up the placement tests have have to take a couple classes for no credit to get yourself up to par.

life is too short to have any regrets

If you haven’t done homework ONCE this year, don’t even bother with college. You’ll just be wasting your time and money. You’ll end up paying a shit load more to do nothing again. You just sound lazy to me. Step up your work ethic first.

yeah if you can't motivate yourself to do well in that joke they call high school, then don't expect to do too well in college either.

actually, now that i think about it, i barely did any homework in college and still graduated, so what the fuck do i know?

If you don't want to go to a community college (do it) when you apply, just say in a your personal statement that you messed up in high school but are determined to make it in college. Make sure you have a distinct goal in mind and remember to write that in your application as well. Colleges look for a goal and determination, they will take you if you show potential. CMC takes anyone by the way

I don't know if this was said because I didn't take the time to read it.

But community colleges will take you they never look at your high school grades on your SAT score. If you do well if community college for the 2 years and have a certain GPA in community college a university will accept you. They won't look at your high school grade or your SAT scores but you need to have that high GPA.
