What i mean by competitions is -sports -looks -smarts Theres always competition whether its being top of the class, looking the best, etc. This is so fustrating. I wanna get into a good college, but it'snearly impossible since there are so many asians (and other smart people). I have no idea what to do in life. How do i get ahead of everyone, im so left behind. There is no path for me to walk in the future. What can I do in life to be successful? - im just a mediocre guy: no talents , im not the best looking guy , Anyone have this same kind of feeling P.S : im a freshman

Highschool is BS once you get to College. Damnit.

It shouldn't even matter for looks you know. I don't mind really, and I agree. I'm not very athletic and I'm not smart or pretty, but just try your best and try to get organized and positive this year. Try out for sports if you like, but have fun in freshmen year(unlike me, cause I didn't -_-). You'll get the hang of it for every year, except soph-jun is more testing and did I say testing? -_-

Don't worry. Even if you don't get into that good of a college, intelligence doesn't matter as much after college.

You should do some extra-curricular activities because it looks good when applying to college.

There's always been competition for smarts and sports. As for looks, I thought it was always 'you're hot. you're not.' o-o

I'm supposedly considered the "smart" guy. I'm on the same boat as you as what to do with my future. It's interesting because people expect me to make a difference in the world or become rich or something. So ya, I honestly don't care about my future and probably won't do anything of that nature. I plan on doing what I want and not caring otherwise. So all I can say is, don't worry about it. You have plenty of time to decide your future, even during college. PS: I'm a freshman too

imogene : No wonder the world is going down the crapper. I mean, if a smart guy and an average guy are random devs/minions at some random company like Nexon, it won't matter too much how smart you are, just if you can do the job.

The better the school you get into, the more competition
