So I just checked what I need for graduation requirements... I'm a Junior in high school... And I attend Clark Community College as a Running Start Student ( I can take college classes while in HS)

And I need a whoping 5.5 HS credits... That equals 28 College credits

(1 HS Credit = 5 College Credits)

Thats only five 5-credit classes...and a 3 credit class...

Right now I'm enrolled in 3 5-Credit classes and 1 3-Credit Class...

So i only need 2 more 5 credit classes to graduate this year!! All before my 17th Birthday...

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

I just thought that was kinda cool!

But I'm not going to because if i do I lose my last year of free college classes... but in a pinch I could... very cool IMO

Holy Crap!! I can graduate college this year!!


About f'in time!!

I'm still in the 100-200 levels...

Its only ENGL 102 (5), JOUR 101(3), HIST 132(5), POSC 211(5)

Yeah...it's not too fun....I seemed to have more of those semesters then I wanted. I remember though, my senior year, I got screwed by a prof who gave me a D in a class for my major, and I had to take it over again. That was a 21 credit semester. It's not like I didn't know the material, I got an A- from a different prof.

I'm only taking 13 credits this term... but I get anywhere from 20-30 hours of programming in the form of labs on a weekly basis.

I graduated in 2005 as a junior. I took 7 classes each semester before that though. And still had to pick up some credits through the local community college for a summer.

you're a badass, good idea taking college credits while in HS, in afew years everyone will be doing that.

lol... i dunno about badass... maybe book nerd! lol jk... I dont really fit that either... huh

It seems like everybody knows about it... they just dont feel like doing it... Even though, with the potential income after college, plus the saved tuition... You end up saving about $100k...

tomorrow me and my brother are going to clark to finally sign up.

i work 40-50 hour weeks. but im only going to be taking automotive.

6:00 - 4:30 work monday through friday mostly.

5:00 - 9:30 school. monday through thursday.

so ya ill be shit tired too.

saving 100k?

jesus where are you going to school?!?
are you going to be a readiozoopediatricpoleonologist?

No... University of WA...

15k per year... I am saving a totall of $30k on tuition and room/ board...

Then the usual cost of living... Say $10k... So there is 40k

Then the money that you end up getting before all of your friends the same age due to needing two less years of school...

If you get even a lower-paying job at 30k per year... You get an extra 60k right there...

So there ya go... 100k that you are ahead of everybody else your age who didnt do Running Start.

Make sense?

im not going to say how much i pay for College b/c you guys will hunt me down
