sounds like work. also, HS girls> waitresses, am i wrong?



the volunteering for a campaign sounds like a decent idea, since it's a volunteer thing I could set my own hours and avoid doing much. this thread is more of a "me trying to provide cover for getting 9 free months of youth" rather than me actually worrying about my future. trust me that is not the way I roll.

If I could go back to your age and have that kind of free time without monetary worries, I'd do volunteer type work, but not what you think...

I'd volunteer to work for a general contractor for 4 months, take a month off, then do the same at an auto shop. I'd do the first to learn everything I could about general carpentry and electrical work, and, well, same for the car stuff.
Basically, I don't know $hit about these areas and wish I did. Would be unbelievably helpful now that I have a house & 2 cars.

So just think about something you'd like to learn, and go whore yourself out as cheap/free labor to learn it. Parents will be very impressed, you'll keep yourself busy, and if it's volunteer based, you can pretty much make your own hours.

Yes, this is an awesome idea. Find something you may think you want to learn, from how to run a restaurant to changing oil, and just tell the owner/hr dept your situation, adn that you will work for free for a leanring experience.

here's a solution that will work well for both you and your parents. In England, a Non-EU citizen from a major country can work for a year there and live there. THere is a special VISA that you can get where you can either work for two 6 month stints or do a full year there. This way you can be productive like your parents want, play poker, and travel. Just do it around london and you should have a blast. You will need to have a job hooked before you can get the VISA I think, so something like that

why are you asking this..what have you been doing the past 2 years since you graduated from high school?

good luck getting into penn..u'll probably get in since u're an athlete and you applied early. everyone gets into penn when they apply early, especially if you will play a sport for them.

An advantage of coming over here is you can drink legally.

Personally I would chill and do some travelling, but make the most of it dont just sit round the house for 9 months, cos this is probably the last big break you will have in life, 9 months with no responsibility or cash worries I would love to have that.

Could always do some volenteer work if so inclined whether locally or abroad whcih would look better on the cv (not that it matters) and probably open your eyes more than any paid crappy job would.

It looked long so I'm just assuming you are pregnant.
