How did you decide in pursuing as a psychologist or LCSW despite the lack of career options at the start or struggles?
Hello I am a junior in high school currently in a program where I am getting my associate arts degree (A.A) when I graduate. I’ve been interested in psychology. As I been doing research since the end of sophomore year. I’m currently undecided whether pursuing as a psychologist or a LCSW as I heard it is far less limiting in the field than a psychologist. As it’s more accessible for patients to go to a LCSW and better to be in a private practice. But I’m not sure because I love psychology. However I would want to be able to have a career that I am passionate about and is a stable job (money wise). I plan to do more school after a bachelors to be able to be a psychologist. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to find a job after bachelors to help sustain myself while being in grad school,etc. It’s just lots of worries about that and for paying it all back after doing more school. I need advice or help if anyone is currently a psychologist or in the career field of psychology/lcsw. Or if you were in my position before!!

Should I drop AP Physics C as a junior 2nd semester?
I am a junior in my 2nd semester of high school. I took a course load of 5 APs and over the summer my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I’ve had a hard time managing my life and honestly am very mentally overwhelmed. I have taken AP Physics C and second semester I am on track for a D or F with only 4 tests remaining. I have not been able to manage all of my AP’s. I am worried if I drop the class colleges will look at me negatively and if I stay my grade will be very bad.

Please provide your suggestions for my next steps. I would like to be able to apply to T20 colleges and my top college is Embry Riddle. Will I be able to get in if I get a bad grade or I drop based on my circumstances? Thank you!

Finding Scholarships Made Easy: Trusted Websites and Tips?
I’m looking for guidance on applying for scholarships, but I don’t have many notable achievements yet and I’m not sure where to start. I’ve been searching on some trusted websites like Scholarships.com , Fastweb , and Chegg Scholarships , but I feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information and the different requirements. I also checked out this website but I’m not sure how to make the most of the resources available there. I’d like to ask the community: Are there strategies to find scholarships suitable for beginners or those without strong academic records? How can I prepare my application if my grades or extracurricular achievements aren’t outstanding? Are there any tips or skills that can increase my chances of being selected without having exceptional accomplishments? Besides the sites mentioned, are there other trustworthy scholarship resources that you recommend for someone in my situation? I would really appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences from those who have successfully navigated the scholarship process under similar circumstances. Thank you so much in advance!
Are Universities more considerate of your High School grades or College grades?
Back in middle school, I was that kid whose entire personality was basically just my 4.0 GPA. But when I hit high school, life decided to give me a surprise 'promotion' to Chief Sibling Officer for my two younger brothers. If you’ve ever tried to negotiate with a 2-year-old or a 5-year-old, you know they’re basically tiny, adorable dictators who couldn't care less about my chemistry study schedule. My transcript has shifted to 3 A’s and 4 B’s lately, mostly because my evenings are spent de-escalating juice-box crises and handling nap-time protests instead of perfecting my notes. I’m really trying to get my 4.0 mojo back, but I’m a little stressed. Do admissions officers actually see "not letting my brothers burn the house down" as a real responsibility, or do they only care about the numbers? And honestly, once I finally get to college, does my high school GPA follow me around like a ghost, or do I actually get a fresh start? P.S I promise I wasn't slacking; I was just busy being a professional mediator and activities coordinator. If you've ever tried to explain to a toddler why they can't eat the dog's food while simultaneously finishing a history essay, you’ll understand why I ended up with a few B’s. I essentially traded a perfect GPA for "Senior-Level Sibling Management" skills.
What are some college Do's and Don'ts?
Hello! I've applied and been accepted into 8 colleges, but I'm set on attending the University of North Texas and majoring in biochemistry! My best friend is leaning toward enrolling at UNT as well, and we plan to dorm together if she goes with me. We've been looking at dormitories and room layouts and I think we've settled on where we want to apply for housing at.

I won't state what my business will be, but it's a one-stop shop for all things green to help make it easy for brands to be eco-friendly, and to make it even easier for customers to shop with total peace of mind.

Is it recommended to take on-campus jobs during College?
I'm an undergraduate, and I'm trying to prepare for some job experience during or preferably before college. With that being said, I recently found out that most Colleges in the U.S offer on-campus jobs. I thought this would be a perfect way to gain experience in the workforce, considering it's easily accessible. Should I try to find a job before then, and do it part-time, while also doing an on-campus job?
