after you graduate the best thing you can do is take a year off and find out what you wanna do for the rest of your life.

"the best thing to do...?"
I think everyone finds that one out for themselves. There's not one best thing for anyone... or I think everyone would probably do it...

not a good idea, it'll make it so much harder to get back into the academic swing of things.
you don't need to know what you want to major in, undeclared is normally the most popular major for incoming college freshman. just find a college of the right size that's in the right area. if you know of anything you might be interested in, find a college with a strong department in the subject and try some classes.

you can work like 3 or 4 days a week cuz you'll make a bunch and go skiing the other days.
thats a good choice.

UVM is mad easy for vermonters to get into. my brother goes there and got in kind of easy with ok grades in highschool. Im from vermont and my guidance counsler said that is a backup school for me.

Taking a year off to travel/find yourself is cool is you don't plan on making a lot of money.
My advice is to go to a good school that will give you a solid education (regardless of how close to the mountians it is), and bust you ass while you are there. Then you can get a good job with pleanty of vacation time and a big salary, wich will lead you you buying as many pairs of skis as you want and taking baller trips to big mtns.
The harder you work now the less you will have to when you are older.

i agree, but what sucks is that now is when we are probably in the best condition in our lives to do things. when we get older we might have all this money and stuff, but instead of like skiing or doing other crazy things we dream of, we might just spend it on like bingo. lol not really but i think you get the idea.
i've kind of gone down both paths throughout highschool so far. sometimes i think i should work hard and get everything done and get good grades, then other times i'm just like "pssh, what am i wasting my time learning things that don't matter to me." overall the decision is yours and only you can find out what your true calling is and honestly just follow your heart. some people really just aren't meant to be in school.

As someone said up there, apply to "safety" schools, or schools that you know you will get into. I'm going to apply to 6 or 7 schools, with 1 being Boston University (no chance, but it is worth a shot) and one being Bryant University (I'm 98% I could get in there. My other schools, Bentley College, Babson College, UVM, and Stonehill College, are the schools that I ideally would love to go to. Then, all that's left is making a choice, and when that time comes you just gotta go with your heart man.
