Be grateful that you have the opportunity for college when so many people don't. As long as there's a college with the programs you're interested in it shouldn't matter.

You've gotten some down thumbs, but I do think this is a valid point. Still, there is a difference between the quality of programs at different schools, and while I am lucky to be able to go to college, I would still like to go to the best college possible.

Which is fair enough, some schools DO have better programs. So I guess my advice is from the institutions that haven't responded to you yet, find out which ones have the best programs and scale it via that, regardless of distance/family/friends. It's your education right? Therefore you should go the the school with the best possible program (best program available)

My current second choice does have a really good program, but I have no idea if I'm going to get in or not.

I want to be an actress. My top two schools were the only two I had time to audition for, so the rest of the schools, while they do have acting programs, are not as good. I know I've been accepted to the acting school at my second choice school, but have yet to hear whether or not I've been accepted to the school itself. It's stressful.

Well, then I guess all I can say is patience :/ Not much else you can do, unless you go running around doing hundreds of auditions, but then you lose time being in school/working/etc. Yeah just be patient I guess.

Swell with awesome theme songs.

oh cool cool

oh nice. why you over there? just visiting or something?

Sort of a study-abroad type program, but it's more complicated than that.

oh cool cool

i'm really sorry about that!

where are you now and where were you before?

I'm currently Israel, but am from the US (East Coast)

have you like gone to a doctor or something?

I used to see a therapist and was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds until a couple of months ago. Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the planet from all of that right now and don't speak the language here well enough to explain what I want anyway.

What a special little snow flake he must be. Is it not dodgy being in Israel with all the Palastinian and Syrian stuff going on?

It's not actually. There are so many security measures in place, it's a lot less dangerous than people think it is. Every two or three hours, military planes fly over head, which was kind of weird at first, but now I don't even really notice them. There are bomb shelters every where, but we don't really need them. People use them as little hang outs, and one right around the corner from my building has been converted into a pub. (Which will be nice if we ever DO need to go hide out for an hour or so. All the booze is already there! lol)

Best thing to do when your young, I want to see the world to even if it is as a United nations peace keeper At least the food and beds are free plus helping peoples nice to Dumb question from a dumb paddy but Do you have to be Jewish or of Israeli decent to live in a Kibbutz? I heard of them before. I'm glad your enjoying yourself and it has to look good on a C.V or work portfolio to

Nope! We have our token Christian here in the program with us.

Hmm. Maybe I just got the bad end of the deal. I didn't anticipate that it would be sunny either considering it was cold outside. Then an hour later it was 90 degrees and I looked like a tomato. Thanks Florida weather. I saw some strange costumes. What bothered me the most was all of the slutty costumes. I think it's cooler when the people spend their time to create a realistic costume. A slutty one just looks cheap and fake.

Unfortunately for some of the jobs at the Faire, slutty costumes are the uniform for women. Since I was a fairy, part of my uniform was glitter sprinkled on my tits. When I go to the faire as a guest, I generally wear more historically accurate costumes. Of course, as a Rennie, I could hang out behind the scenes and didn't have to deal with the idiocy.

That's got my respect, you sound like a really good person to be honest. Hope you found a job you enjoyed as much as that

Right now I'm actually in the middle of a study abroad-esque program. I decided I wanted to broaden my horizons and experience new things, so I'm in Israel, working and studying on a kibbutz. (Basically an agricultural commune.) I don't get paid, but I do get free housing, and three meals a day, as well as occasional trips around Israel to visit different places. I'm studying Hebrew three days a week and working with animals three days a week. And while it may not further my acting career at all, I am having a fantastic time. xD

I was working for below minimum wage as well. Just to, y'know, brag about how absolutely insane I was to work there. It was fun though. xD

Oh God I went to a renaissance fair on Saturday. It was terrifying. Everyone there was autistic. I saw some guy wearing a fedora with my little pony pins in it. And then there was someone who claimed she was an actual witch. All the shops sold cheap knock off weapons. And the food was expensive as all hell. I much prefer the gun show to it. You HAVE to have some crazy stories from your time spent as a bubble fairy.

Some, although I worked at a less crazy faire, I think. There were certainly a lot of weird costumes, but less crazy people, maybe. XD

As a simple Irishman I'm glad sounded like I knew what I was on about. What job was that? Sounds like a fun place

I was working at a Renaissance Faire. My job was basically to blow bubbles at small children and try to get them to buy wands.
