TGIF: The College Years

[BabyPiglet]

Aw, thanks Jenny! And that's awesome that you'll be done with HS at so young. You'll already be ahead of the game when everyone else is just starting college, that's such a good idea. Do you plan on staying home for college or going away? good luck with everything!



MEEE!!! I wish I could live in NYC for the spring, summer and fall and then movie down to Florida for the winter. It's WAY too cold out, I hate it. UGH.

Welcome to the thread! What part of NY are you in?

Well I'll have to stay here until junior year but after that I may actually go away. I really feel the need to go somewhere different and travel! But for now, I'm stuck here.

Have you looked into Licensed Clinical Social Worker? It's a masters degree, I believe there are several different levels of qualifications. Alot of people do psych for undergrad, then the clinical social work as a masters. I know with that degree you can be a therapist, and I'm sure many other things. Something to look into if you decide to major in psych. I'm sorry I don't know too much about it yet.

I haven't actually looked into that, but now I will. I definitely want to work with people, I'm fascinated by them. That's why I thought a people-focused career would do really well.

I keep forgetting that tomorrow's MLK Day. After being off for a month I don't even know what day it is Enjoy you're day off!

I'm completely jealous about you being so close to a Margaritaville! The closest one to NYC is the one they're opening at Mohegan Sun in CT this summer but that's still a good three hours away. I just found out that there are a few Cheeseburger in Paradise's on Long Island and in Jersey. They're part of the Margaritaville franchise and are owned by Jimmy Buffett but I don't know if the restaurant's as good. Have you ever been?

Hey Melissa! I'm jumping in before I even make my introduction post

We have a Cheeseburger in Paradise here & it's alot of fun! I love the whole atmosphere of the place. (Tropical/Beachy) Ours will usually have a band playing or someone singing - it's great. If you can get over to one, I definately suggest checking it out!

I know, I can't believe it either!!!! Although I saw it back in August when Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal came back for a few weeks, and it was AMAZING with them, I'm pretty sure I never would have gone to see it again after that lol, I don't think anything could top it! But I still think it's a shame it's closing

 

[quidam373]

my schedules everywhere lol. mon an 11 and a 5, tues 11, 330, and 5, you get the idea. only one 11 am class though! which is god because I am NOT a morning person!

Although I saw it back in August when Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal came back for a few weeks, and it was AMAZING with them, I'm pretty sure I never would have gone to see it again after that lol, I don't think anything could top it!

I saw RENT before the movie ever came out, so I saw it with them as well, and I loved it. I dont think i could see it without them because I've only seen them in the musical and the movie lol. anyone else would sound weird to me now.

Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are the best! I saw Rent with Anthony Rapp and he was as good as always. Has anyone read his book? It's really sad but inspiring. Check it out of your a fan of him, of Rent or just of theater I actually saw Adam Pascal in Aida and he was AMAZING! I absolutely love his voice

[DisneyGirl421]

I was sooo sad when I heard Rent was closing.
I've seen it twice on Broadway, and one of the times was with Adam and Anthony this summer. I want to see it again before it closes, but I don't think I'm going to. I would rather my last memory be of Adam and Anthony as Roger and Mark.
(hah, Over the Moon just came on my itunes, lol)
Oh, and melly, I saw Adam in Aida as well. OMG amazing. haha. I love him.
