A lifetime of Disney movies tells me that you should go for it, absolutely. But I feel like in the real world "closure" is a nebulous, often unattainable thing, and maybe you would be better off continuing in what you are doing, or finding some other goal. Do you feel like you have to prove something to your parents? Or just yourself
no you should do that and go in in person and get in their grill
they are seriously terrible
God if I could go there I would. But I just don't have the money, between spending $200 on my car registration (fuck county and state fee increases by the way, that's a third more than I paid last year) and rent being right around the corner.
edit- and Geebs, for what it's worth, I'd go for it if I was in your shoes.
I also don't know if I want to leave that sitting there for too long either urgh
It's four years of your life and I'm assuming you got quite a few left. Could be the best decision, could be not so great, probably is not the worst possible. I'd do it.

It is crazy how much changes in a few weeks, I started off excited about classes and fairly sure I'd spend sophomore year at CC and now I'm worried about my classes and hesitant about leaving. Educationally I don't think staying is the best decision but somehow I still feel hesitant.

oh that sucks, good luck then. sending multiple times is probably your best bet then, and calling
So my last in-class final exam of law school was... something. It wasn't as difficult as I thought (this professor is notorious for writing obnoxiously difficult exams) but I still left questioning all of my answers. The only saving grace at this point is that the curve is going to be set so low that I might have a shot at a decent grade.
Now I just have to write a take-home exam tonight and a paper next week and I'm done with law school foreeeeeevvvvvvereeeeeeerrrrrrr.
So apparently the Pell Grant that I got last summer to pay for classes was a fluke that I only got because those classes put me over the threshold to count as a sophomore. Which means I'm completely ineligible for any financial aid for this summer.

What!?
Damn, that's rough. Did you need to take those summer classes or did you just want them out of the way for convenience later on?
it's like if you make a joke to a guy whose legs got eaten slowly by ants about how that's not such a rough experience I mean that guy is not going to get mad
he's just going to go a little glassy-eyed and roll away

Is it a one-time fee thing or do you have to pay membership dues annually? I joined a couple of invite-only honor societies in college that required a one-time membership fee just to build my resume. The fees were affordable so it wasn't a thing.
I guess you need to figure out whether or not you can afford whatever kind of fee this club wants from you.

did anyone else get solicited for those "who's who of highs chool" books where you pay money to get your name in it and then you pay money to buy it and then i don't know who else buys it or what the point is
i'm not saying that's what that honors society is but that's what i thought of

Yes and no. I'm dual-majoring in both a standard two-year degree, and a transfer degree program (basically lib arts). The classes I wanted to take this summer would have allowed me to complete both programs next spring, graduating with both degrees. No classes this summer means I still get my regular two-year (Networking Technology), but no straight up transfer degree, until I go back and take those classes (which, hopefully, will be after I have a good job).

yeah, I kind of partly get the impression that it might just be something like that
where I give them money and then maybe they send me a certificate or some horseshit and never hear from or receive any benefit from them ever again

You're paying for the CV bullet. Employers eat that shit up. If you can afford it, I would say go for it, just don't have expectations about how involved you'll be in the organization after you join (you won't be).

Captain Marcusnow arrives the hour of actionRegistered Userregular
I won the "outstanding student in biology" award today. My professor gave me his instructor's biochemistry textbook (with a little dedication inside), which was quite nice of him. Too bad I can't understand anything past the first 20 pages.
Really not looking forward to organic chem in the fall.

Do they really count for that much? I mean, if you're straight out of school and don't have much in the way of job experience, then I guess it would be better than nothing. I got a few of those letters and pretty much ignored them after a cursory google.

My thinking is that it's better than nothing. It may not be worth anything realistically, but supplementing your CV with these kinds of extracurriculars can't hurt you.
I'm not pushing it, trust me, but there really isn't any harm in joining honor societies if you can afford it.

surprisingly, no
I don't know if closure's the goal or what
I also don't know if I want to leave that sitting there for too long either urgh

You took organic chem recently. How'd you get through it without losing your sanity?
