Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so....I’m seventeen, and STILL don't have my drivers license. I HAD my permit....but it expired....and now I'm going to have to take that stupid ******** test all over again. (and pay 25 bucks) stare waste of my money

I want to get a good job this summer, instead of trying to save all my birthday and Christmas money. (I sound like a child) But I'm afraid I can't handle the pressure of an interview. Talking to people I don't know makes me kinda nervous...especially if that person seems extremely professional. I'm just afraid I'll screw up.

It seems the years are going by really fast... It's making me sad...because I'm not in any hurry to grow up, because I know it sucks. I'm turning eighteen this year, but I feel like seventeen wasn't long enough.

I guess I just need to take each day as it comes, and go with the flow. But it's hard...CHANGE is hard to deal with, and it's impossible to ignore.

I feel as though my dreams and goals are slowly slipping away from me. I don't think I'm smart enough or good enough to have the dream job I really want, or ANYTHING I want to be completely honest.

The classes I'm in at school make me feel small and stupid. I'm not proud to be in general classes my junior year. It's kinda embarrassing. ALL of my friends are either in College Prep or Advanced Placement. YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF ? my teachers tell me all the time that I'm perfectly capable of handling a CP class. SO....WHY THE ******** AM I STUCK IN THIS s**t-HOLE CLASS WHEN I CAN BE SOMEWHERE ELSE I REALLY BELONG ?

.......

I worry too much about stupid things….

I need some tea…..

As far as the interviews go if you don't get over that fear and at least try to go to one you're not going to find a job. Most retail places are kinda weird about it, some hire you on the spot or ask you like two simple questions while others do the whole drawn out 3 interview thing (odds are jobs like that aren't worth it at your age). Juat answer they questions they give you, it's pretty easy at this stage, not like you need your resume there and need to research the company and ask them questions (like you would if you were doing your professional career interviews).

Also, AP classes amount to absolutly nothing once you get to college.

AP classes are only worth it if you plan on taking the AP test and passing it so you don't have to take the class in college.

However, if you wanna get into those super huge good colleges, AP classes are pretty much a must because those places want a 5 to even consider letting you in.

I'm going to assume you don't care for those. >.>

Murr, I way past the point of barely doing it ^_^. I'm actually helping people around me about the work, hehe. It isn't -that- hard once you get the hang of it. I pretty much have. It also helps that almost everyone that works there is awesome So you would be bound to meet at least one person you could talk to or hang out with if you weren't on my team. As far as hiring, you don't have to worry about that. The turnover rate is so high that they will 'always' be hiring.

but back on topic @ Euphoria. Like Girlie said, I could kind of be a 'motivator' of sorts >.> I'm going on 20 and all I have is a job. No lisence, and no car. What woke me up to change was living alone at Tiffany's for a few months. Living on your own is a real eye opener. Not to mention I'm a complete dumbass who can only 'handle' general classes. I like to use the 'if I can do it, anyone can' saying, because I hate change completely and am dumb as a sack of bricks. You can do eet ^_^. Yeah, go with that though, enjoy each day as they come, and let whatever happen happen. Change as they may, and do with it what you can. *shrug* be positive.... I'm horrible... I'm sorry. *sigh*
