Obviously the whole College issue seems like I might be able to go back and in a way I'm excited and I imagine how much it will help me psychologically. I was crying at work (out of a 4hr. part time shift I'd go cry in the bathroom an hour!) On a trip to Boston/NYC Boston=College Mecha (Harvard/Stanford) so I was reminded of my life issues of the college thing. So while most people might of gotten relaxation etc. from a vacation I was thinking of my past issues. I know thinking of it everyday is wrong and I need help etc. Thanks for all the advice btw. :-) but with college looming I question if it will truly make me happy again and WHAT IS HAPPINESS for me? IMO it's diving into an obsession as we Aspies tend to do. :-) YA! Like someone said through PM the students will not be interested in Psychology as much as I am and the students not being into it as deeply as I am is something I'll have to accept and I guess study alone on my own even quiting questioning the teacher since I knew that upset her. I've considered IF I got interested in another field question that teacher but then I'd just upset THAT NEW teacher. I'm trying my best to look at it as a "new start" and a "fresh start" to college. Looking back on what I did with my obsession WP wouldn't be seeing much of me I'd get too invested in my interest! LOL! I really hope getting back into College helps me. :-)

The college I am in is a nightmare the staff seem to do everything in the dark. I would say the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing but it is more like the Right and Left are oblivious of the other's existence.

I wish I could find a school that could be less of a enclosing trap.

Good luck.

I wasted my college/university life, I only went there to get the piece of pape andI allowed myself and my AS to let me just fall into oblivion.

The good thing about going to college is you will meet a lot of people who are open to meeting other people regardless of their personalities, at least for the first year. Everybody is in the same boat.
And you should make use of joining any activities available to you just for the heck of it.

I found that in college I didn't have to make excuses for being myself, and people actually seemed to like me and want to hang out with me. I had never had a lot of that in High School. Of course, my first college was art school, and everyone was eccentric anyway. Most of the people I hung out with had ADD. They all told me I did too, LOL. I dunno about that, but I found a lot more acceptance in college than anywhere else.

Well if I had to give advice, "hope for the best but prepare for the worst." Though hopefully it won't be a bad experience, unlike what it was for me.

Well HellFox the suspension was already a bad college experience my main issue is fear of screwing up again!! !! I grew up having bad behavior and upsetting Elementary School teachers ffwd to College I upset College teachers! So Now I have to try to change myself so I DON'T have bad behavior we'll see what happens. :-)
