I'm with you djgustashaw, I just graduated highschool too, and I can't be more relieved. Every year I attended, I realized how much more it sucked. I can't wait to get into college next year where I can study things that are interesting and pertinent; Going to the University of Colorado. Let's hear it for grads!

Congrats on making thru 4 yrs of highschool. Enjoy yourself and spend some time relaxing with family and friends before heading off to Tech. I can remember graduating from highschool, it was a great sense of freedom and I definitely partied and enjoyed myself during the summer before entering college.

My friends and I are going bowling at midnight tonight as celebration. It was a good four years at Harris County High, I stayed in the top 5% of my class, and in the fall I'll be going to Georgia Tech for civil engineering... new things to conquer there, no doubt. Hard to believe it's already over, but at least I still have one last summer at home with my friends to enjoy. Thanks for reading! I'd add a pic but they're currenty 6 megapixels and like 3 megs... if anyone can tell me how to resize pics in iPhoto I'd really appreciate it!

I was in the top 5% of my class as well, my friend.
I will be attending Emory University in the fall.

Maybe we can have some scholarly Georgia Head-Fi meets.

If I join a frat, I'll have a (hopefully) good group of friends and also formals and stuff like that to look forward to. I don't, however, plan on drinking. I've never understood drinking, and my sister tells me that while most of the frat guys obviously do drink, they don't pressure others into it if they don't want to and they'll respect your decision.

totally, or if they don't respect your posistion, you shouldn't be joining them. I never thought of myself as a frat guy but I joined one and it was the best thing I did this year. I never drank in high school and when I joined the frat I started, and now I enjoy it. I don't have much time to, and only drink every few weeks, but I think it's a fun thing to do. in fact, I would say keep an open mind to drinking, because my perception of it from high school completely changed. it had a stigma of being done by the 'bad kids' during high school and as a result I shied away (plus my friends didn't do it and so I didn't do it), but at college I see that's not true at all. in fact, some of the highest GPAs in the house belong to the heavier drinkers, and that's true of the freshman all the way to the seniors.

of course, as always be smart about it and do it with people you trust, especially if you're new. and if you really don't want to, not only should you not be pressured into it, but there will probably be a number of people in the frat who don't want to as well. that's been my experience.

Congrats, you just ended the most exciting time of your life

College rocks, but for me nothing is more fun than high school. Everything goes downhill from here

Good luck and congratulations again.
