So I'm talking to my guidance counselor/friends/parents about graduating early from highschool. Who has experience with this? My counselor is pulling up records tomorrow, and told me to come to her with a plan for after hs at the end of the week. I'm only mildly interested in college, if I can't get a scholarship, then I'm not really interested. I want to get out of Central New York and travel. No intentions of getting a career, just want to ski bum it all winter, hop trains all summer, and RV it when I'm old. Obviously that won't fly as a plan with guidance/parents, so what should I tell them? I've shown interest to my mother in going to heli flight school in AK (alyeska helicopters in Girdwood), and I think I might roll with that. What else should I tell them?
Some of my friends advise against it, saying that I won't want to miss out on the parties senior year, or that the workload will be too much. Bullshit man, I hate partying (at least the whore-fests that our area hosts), and I can handle the work. I've got 1,000,001 places I wanna go, and in the eyes of the universe, not enough time. And its boring here. There are no guys for me, I haven't gotten laid in months, my entire family of about thirty people lives in the same 5 square miles, my home life just stabilized, the skiing fucking SUCKS, there are a host of reasons for me to want to leave; sure, sex and skiing aren't hugely important in the long run, but still, they rank pretty high on any man's list.
Thoughts?
