One advantage of being a part of this forum is that I can basically vent to a number of people, without worrying about being judged. Sure, you may judge me, but will I give even the slightest of a fuck? No. Which brings me to the creation of this thread. Its purpose is to analyze the debacle that currently is my life, and get a little bit of input from different perspectives.
Before I continue, you should all be aware of a few things. Firstly, I fully realize I have many luxuries that are exclusive to many kids my age that I take for granted sometimes. I have made stupid mistakes in the past, but I have changed myself. I have improved myself, and I'm not going to apologize for SHIT. Second, I'm 17 years old- I am impulsive and hedonistic. Lastly, I am a senior in high school. I'm going through a major transition of childhood to adulthood.
These past five months have been the ultimate test of patience.
In May I was arrested and charged with possession of alcohol and paraphernalia. The fact that I was driving with this shit in my possession caused me to be put on a restricted license, thanks to the DMV. I can only drive to/from school, home, and work. This lasts until August 27th, 2010.
I also was put on probation until February 10th, which means I have a 6:00 curfew. More importantly, my parents have been really gay about me 'going out'. I can't even begin to explain to you how much it sucks. As a matter of fact, I've gone so long without hanging out with my friends at night, having fun, partying, and generally being able to chill without worrying about time restraints, that I have become USED to the boredom. Not to mention the fact that I'm growing increasingly distant from my friends. As a result of all of this, probation has helped me get my priorities in order, and also taught me two indispensable virtues: patience and judgement.
I applied to 3 universities in my state. NAU, ASU, and U of A. UA is the local university. This is my first choice because I want to stay in the city where my friends are located, and also my parents want me to go there. I was accepted to NAU and ASU. These are my backups in case I can't get into the local university. I applied there, and they sent back a letter saying the need my 7th semester transcript. Which means I need to bust my ass these next few weeks if I want to get accepted.
Truth be told, I'd be fine with any university, I just really want to MOVE OUT of this house. My parents don't understand that me getting away from them will ultimately improve my relationship with them. They are too confrontational, conservative, and emotionally volatile.
Lastly, the womenz. There are a few really cool, attractive girls that are 'into' me. But probation is the ultimate cockblock. I haven't got laid in fucking forever, and I feel like hanging out with a girl while on probation would just be embarassing considering I have to be home at fucking 6 PM. Yesterday, however, I invited a girl to come over to my house and just chill this weekend. Despite the fact that my parents are annoying as fuck, and we wouldn't even be able to 'mess around' because, well, its my house and my family is always home. Another girl is the hottest thing I've ever seen, but she lives 45 minutes away. With only a restricted license, I'll have to use every ounce of my resources to make that relationship blossom.
I might add more to this later tonight, if I even feel like it.
