>got high A's on 10+ page papers I wrote the night before

did you take AP lang or AP lit during high school? i took both and scored a 3 on both (lol) so i ended up with 2 enc 1101 credits. my only english class i'm required to take now is enc 1102 which is what i'm enrolled in now.

Nope.  I'm not good enough for AP level English but my high school's basic English classes were still pretty damn good at teaching you how to research and write.

yeeeaaaaahhh your school probably actually taught you the right stuff haha. mine just taught me how to bullstuff, literally bullstuff. the ap lang teacher is also the ap lit teacher so i had her for two consecutive years, and at numerous points in both of those years did she admit that her class was a class that literally teaches you how to bullstuff writing.

i mean hell, i haven't read a book in 4 years and i passed loving AP Literature

I'm thinking of going to DigiPen in the future, if I can get my mind into gear and make a game. That, or BYU (somewhere). I really don't know if this is a good plan or not; I'm just starting to think about college.

EDIT: Osht didn't read OP; this is for people in or have gone through college already, oops.

I took AP Lang and wrote every essay the day before it was due, ended up with a B in the class. Said forget it to AP Lit because it was senior year and I couldn't be forgeted to read that much.

UPDATE

I think I've decided to cut back from partying, drinking, and smoking a lot. I went to my first Rugby practice today because a couple of fraternity friends convinced me to try it out because I'm really athletic, and I realized how much I missed being an athlete for a team. The team I practiced with is so cool, nice, and overall motivating. I definitely prefer this over partying any day.

plus we're a national champion team and slay the poosie at our college

Rugby? You seem more of a soccer basketball guy like me.

What college are you?

[superslayer]

I'm going to go into psychology for college, does anyone here happen to know a good college for that? I aim to go into counseling and helping people with mental illness's like depression, PTSD, ect.

I've only had to write essays for my english and sociology class. The soc class was a joke so it doesn't really count but I feel like my english comp class actually improved my writing by a lot. She was also really nice and let you rewrite the paper after it was submitted and averaged the 2 grades. I know I improved my writing ability on each essay and got a B+ in the class which I'm cool with.
