Keep in mind I'm YoHoJo, I make tons of typos and I typed this all in one go without reading over it or caring too much :p just some back-story for you guys.

(TL;DR at bottom)


Been waiting so anxiously forever, now that's it's here I don't know how I feel, still letting it sink in I guess. My parents are extremely happy for me which feels great since they bug me/are hard on me sometimes. I feel pretty calm and regular, but also in the back of my mind I'm very excited. Yeah it's a pretty good accomplishment, but it also just feels like something I'm supposed to do anyways.

So I didn't do super well in High School and got into no UC (UCs are the more expensive/prestigious Universities in California Vs the 'Stats Universities') which felt kind of bad, but I sort of expected it, it is EXTREMELY competitive to get in straight from high school.

So for two years I went to a 'Community College' which is like poo poo shit school where failures go (exaggeration :p) but many people go for there 2-3 year transfer programs. This basically works by declaring a major, taking the proper course, and maintaining a certain GPA to ensure your acceptance to a UC. You save TONS (Multiple tens of thousands of dollars) of money and loose no time at all.

So I lived at home for 2 years and life went on like normal, while all of my friends were off in college being cool and successful :p. I honestly didn't feel to bad, I just took a different path than them, so I was fine with it.

Now, two years, 60 units, 3.7+ GPA, and LOTS of stressful waiting later, I finally get into one of the schools I was looking forward to the most UC Davis, the (arguably) 3th/4th best UC, where two of my BEST friends go who I will be moving in with (Going to be video games and trollin and crazy fun bro time ALL DAY I really can't wait to be living with two of my BEST friends 24/7!)

So after a bunch of stress and waiting I got in, I feel mixed feelings, but I'm so happy!

TL;DR

Congrats dude!

I feel ya, community college SUCKS :(

I'm guessing that's good :D
Congrats man :)

I'm presuming that's a university (for those UK/EU(?) people?)!

@Smart: Eh, everyone says that they just need to grow up and deal with it! Stop screwing around, get your stuff done, and get out fast! But yeah it's lame compared to 'real' colleges and sucks even more when you're friends are all at 'real' colleges too.

@HarryJames: thanks, and yeah UC=University of California.

It's so easy though! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cheap credits, but it shouldn't be this easy. And yeah, the social scene is pretty boring, too.

Congrats YoHoJo. Thanks for info on Community College, kinda helps me get it into gear.

Oh yeah np. I'm not sure how similar the rules and reggilatuons are state to state but I can give you more info if you have any questions.

Congrats man!! I'm sure you are very pumped with the waiting being over!!

Makes me look forward to college :) Grats

Hey, Super Congrats on the acceptance, Sir!!

Heads up on the room mate thing. You should really watch this. http://www.megavideo.com/?d=MGJ778UR . Watch the whole thing to make sense (only like 20 min, and a bit of humor). It will makes sense after, what I am going for is 15:55, but you need to watch it all to make sense. That's why myself and my best friend don't move in together… also, if we are in the same place together for more than 5 days… we get bored and start getting in trouble…

I hope it all works out for you! Way to be! Again, Grats!

congratulations!!!!!!!!!! ZOMG~!!!! Enjoy freshmen year :P

congats bro i was like happy as when i got accepted into my uni this year ( UoA best uni in Nz now doing engineering). btw wat is community college is it like high school or sumthing, ?

Community colleges offer 'standard' classes that almost every student has to complete at a more expensive public or private college.

Basically, you go to community college for two years, then you transfer into a larger college and stay there for two years.
