hey everyone! i dropped out of school completely towards the end of 8th grade, but after that i never really got a \u201cproper\u201d education. i won\u2019t get into details about my situation, but i\u2019m finally getting my life somewhat together. problem is: i don\u2019t know how the fuck college works.<\/p>\n

i got this GED prep book and i\u2019m actually doing amazing at it (except for math..), but i\u2019m starting to wonder if getting my GED before going to college is really a good route to go down. is there a way i can combine high school with college? like a dual-enrollment type situation? do you already have to be enrolled in high school to apply for dual enrollment? i am so confused about all of this! i just want to get college done with fast, mostly because i\u2019m so academically behind my peers.<\/p>\n

any alternatives, explanations, advice, or anything at all would be greatly appreciated! even if it seems like basic knowledge, i could benefit from it. thank you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

EDIT: thank you guys so much for all the advice and the support. :\u2019) not gonna lie i cried a little because i\u2019ve never gotten so much support about this and have always felt extremely isolated and inadequate about it. i\u2019m definitely gonna work extra<\/em> hard at my GED studies now and try out all the awesome advice!<\/p>\n

p.s. if it means anything, i live in florida!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
