Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I have realized that basically everyone here is in college. Is anyone not?
Kestrel she/her Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Yes, I'm still in high school. Frankly I'm terrfied of college. 3
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm not, I'm pretty sure I'm youngest. Middle schooler here. ' What is middle school?
navybrandt he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Technically in college, since I'm working on a PhD, but I'm a 40 year old man in the work force - so not college age anyway.
navybrandt he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 What is middle school? 6th - 8th grade, though that may vary slightly State to State here in the USA.
navybrandt he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Yes, I'm still in high school. Frankly I'm terrfied of college. You should be! They torture people mercilessly in college! Think Pits of Hathsin, on a good day, and the damnation of the Heralds, on a bad day. And don't forget - college is full of librarians! 8
natc Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Just past first year, which was a bit too chill for my tastes. As I understand it from friends and whatnot second year onwards is hell.
Lazarus52980 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm 34 and have a bunch of kids in school. (I also never went to college). Do I count?
Kobold King he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 18, homeschooled. Since I have no ambitions in life aside from making enough money to feed my cats, I probably won't be going to college any time soon. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Technically, I'm not IN college anymore, since classes ended last week and I'll graduate on Saturday. Now that I have my Master's degree, I shall convert Liebrarians to the Free Kingdoms' cause! 7
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 I'm in middle school. Winter, what grade?
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm 11 years out of college... college is awesome don't let anyone scare you, if you choose the right major/studies for you! What should scare you is work and real life that comes after. Enjoy this time of relative freedom in your life all of you!! 1
Argent he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 So, it looks like so far I am alone in the "recently (but not too recently) graduated" demographic for now. I earned my Master's* degree almost exactly two years ago. *Fun bit of trivia - in my native language a Master's degree would translate as Magister's degree. Which sounds much cooler to me (in English). 6
Chaos he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 18, homeschooled. Since I have no ambitions in life aside from making enough money to feed my cats, I probably won't be going to college any time soon. That explains why you are here all the time How could I compete? I'm not technically in college anymore. ...I'm just a college professor now. Totally different 10
Left he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 They're a lot of highschool age kids in here, as well as just past college kids. A few middleschoolers as well I think. I'm not saying what I am though
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I wonder who the other Middle Schoolers are. I wish this site had existed when I was in middle school, but I started high school a year before Elantris was published. And now I feel old.
Senor Feesh Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Not even slightly in college (though you guys across the pond confuse me no end by calling it college anyway - here in the UK it's school, then college, then university). I went to all three, dropped out of university in my final year, now I'm just a wage slave
navybrandt he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Is University what we call graduate school?
Senor Feesh Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Maybe? I don't even know, I've never heard the term :S College is where you get intermediate qualifications, University is where you get your Bachelor's degree, or your Masters.
Elithanathile he/him Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 And here I have been, thinking I was the youngest person on here for a while. I'm in my first year of High School, but I've been a fan since I was 10. Does that count? Also, I give Kudos to any Middle Schooler that has over a thousand upvotes.
Delightful Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 In Aussie there's a university and a community college and I think they're basically the same aside from cost and prestige kinda thing. Then we also have TAFE which is more practical studies, like things to do with animals. 1
Titan Arum Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Technically, I'm not IN college anymore, since classes ended last week and I'll graduate on Saturday. Now that I have my Master's degree, I shall convert Liebrarians to the Free Kingdoms' cause! Congrats on finishing up your Master's. What are you the Master of? I have a Master's as well, which I earned back in 2011 after working for several years after undergrad. Now I work in international development. I love my job and get to travel for work all the time. (For example I just found out today that on Friday I'm flying to Jordan for two weeks.) For those of you scared of university, Green Hoodie Mistborn is correct, don't be afraid of it. I had the best time of my life during the four years of my Bachelors. I made amazing friends and had awesome life experiences. I also felt like High School was harder than university. It may have been the IB program kicking my butt, but it really prepped me for uni.

I am jealous.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm not. And I think college is called university here 1
Winds Alight she/her Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm not. I went to university for a while after I finfished school, but I skipped it because I hated it. Now I'm bookseller in training and I love it. 1
