I'm done high school!!

YEP!! It finally happened. I had my last exam today. I swear I can’t even handle the fact that this stress is over… It feels weird.. but REALLY GOOD at the same time.

My social life hasn’t been that great throughout the past years because of this advanced program extra stress.. but I hope things change now.. I haven’t been on the track for so long that I feel like I will start from the basics.

Thing is I might be able to drive really soon. However I don’t know where should I start to expand my social circle?.. especially girls wise. Guys that I chill with are just your average AFC.. but who am I to say that :stuck_out_tongue:? Anything else except for those crazy parties that I could reach to socialize with some babes? Hard to stay up late with strict parents like mine..
Coming out of my shell after 3 years in the country created the worst first impression to all people I interact with closely, except for those who I was able to prove otherwise to.

Just wanted to share this joyful event with the rest of the family here.. Really love the community and its members here :slight_smile:!

Congratulations! :slight_smile:

Congrats bro.

I was assuming facebook would die out like myspace did so I never made one until years after HS instead of back then so when I did make one I was already disconnected with many people and today my facebook is a cockblock of it’s own with poor wall posting. regardless if you care about using it atleast have one now rather than waiting to long. My friends either moved or they were worse than AFC’s but more like below-AFC’s so branching out isn’t good where I’m at. Community college is anti social, nobody cares about meeting eachother and just wants to gtfo of class and hang with their local friends. And I started college 2 years late so I am not running into many people I know. Try to keep contact with people, My status is i’m cool with many people I run into but not tight enough where we hang out.

I am just leaning to hitting clubs and getting lays when I turn 21 and riding that out until I finish CC and can pack my bags and move to a new town and some university that isn’t crowded with locals but loaded with out of towners looking to branch out.

Strict but understanding parents saved my life dude. haha

Congratulations on graduating! Or as we call it here in the US: “Gradjeeayting”

If you really want to expand your social circle might I suggest start choosing your friends wisely…and don’t discriminate based on age.
They say in 5 years you’re the same person with a couple of exceptions. The books you read and the people you hang out with…so choose both wisely.

Find you some good strong men to hang out with. Sure your age and maybe a couple of years older. Also look for some mentors. Go on meetup.com join maybe something like toastmasters, or even one of those junior paramilitary groups like ROTC or Boy Scouts and I mean that seriously.

At Toastmasters not only will you learn how to speak, but you will also learn how to lead by a variety of businessmen and women in your town…but sorry women my advice to him is stick closely to the men. No woman can teach a boy how to become a good man, only a good strong man can really do that. This is and my next suggestion, frats and military are great places to begin to network.

Join a frat when you get to college. A lot of frat guys can be douchebags, but the sad fact is the military and frats are about the closest we have to tribal rituals to mark the advent of a child becoming an adult. In frats and the military you will find camaraderie, but you will also find that good teasing and prodding that will help strengthen not just your outer core, but your inner core.

Don’t just let friends happen. I’ve been down that road far too many times and the truth of the matter is you tend to allow yourself to get sucked into their drama, their issues. Its kind of hard to reach down and help a friend out of a pile of shit without getting a bit of it on yourself.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying dump anyone if they run into problems. What I am saying is choose your friends wisely. You meet a guy at a bar one night and he seems cool while he tells you how he’s on probation and should be attending an AA meeting instead of hanging out at a bar with you…pass on taking his number.

Most importantly. Have some fun. Don’t take all this life bullshit too serious. Just find your passion, stick with it man and you will find happiness and the rest (finances, family etc) will all be taken care of.

Congratulations man. You made it through one of the toughest periods of your life. Know that, own that strength that you found to keep going every morning for four fucking years. You are living your story, you are the author and the editor. So make it an interesting one.

Congratulations :smiley:

For the last 12 years somebody told you what you should learn and what you should be interested in and now you get to choose. Its really very exciting.

So what are your interests ?

For instance my oldest son loves racing and cars. He is in a few car clubs that have meet ups and you would be surprised how many girls join these or attend. They have weekend cruises picnics and events.

I was with a hiking group for a long time that had weekly events.

Whatever your interests are you can probably find a meet up group online and to join that has events in your area.

Course your probably either going to continue your schooling or get a job now correct ? You will meet people there just keep a open mind and dont age discriminate. People have little sisters and granddaughters and you never know where you will meet someone interesting.

Bars and clubs you need to be careful in. Some will disagree with me and thats fine but quality is harder to find there. You can meet people and have fun just be choosy.

Volunteer for something, a cause or just something your passionate about. My youngest son met a great girl when he volunteered for the clean the river project in our area. They dated for a while and he made tons of new friends just from knowing her. Didnt work out but he still maintains the friendship with her and all the others he met through her.

Join a gym. Take a class, Take a seminar.

You can make friends just about anywhere. You have been probably mostly concentrating on what mones can do for you with girls at school or at parties on a sexual level Whats great about them though is they can help you expand your social circle anywhere. Lots of Ishine and IO and talk to people everywhere you go. In line at the store, in the donut shop, the girl who works in best buy. Use you mones to not only sexually attract but to expand that circle of friends.

Everything to know in achievement can be summed up in one sentence,

In search of what you want, be extremely aware of what you become.
