So I'm considering all my options; military, merchant marines, freight hopping, college. Any way you cut the cards, I want to travel, and be somewhere where there are at least a couple other gays. With as much skiing as possible.
I've looked into everything but college at this point, and figure that I should take a look at how the game is played. But I honestly don't know the first thing about any of it. I look at tuition prices and can't make much sense of them. Whats the difference between a B.A and B.F.A? And I've always been under the impression that no matter what, unless you get some crazy scholarship that no one gets, you WILL walk out of it with tonsss of debt. Which I will fight at every front to avoid.
I'm going to be a high school senior this year, and I'm pissed that I'm still so ignant about this kind of thing, there needs to be a class for this shit. When should I start applying?
I'm mainly looking at SUNY Purchase because they have an excellent drama program. I've grown up in the theatre and the degree would be a little less about marketability and a little more about the fact that I would just love to learn how to be even better at acting. But at the same time, a degree like that really helps you break into broadway.
And how can I do it for free? My grades for freshman and sophomore years were mediocre. This year, (junior and senior year rolled into one) I'm going to step up and head out with a bang. I'm aiming for straight A's; I'm schoolin like its my job, for real. I'm also gay, and I'm also poor; aren't there grants/scholarships for that? What should I apply for, and when?
Basically just tell me everything I need to know.
