I'm done. With all of it. Took my last final today and when I filled that end bubble a great ecstasy gripped me. It was the feeling of a new dawn, a new age. One without tyranny, pain or despair. Now I truly live!

...

...

...So, what the hell do I do with my life?

Sadly Citizen is right on this one, although from here your options are pretty much college or job, it really is as simple as that. Of course the harder bit is probably finding out what you want to do.

I would suggest college. If school isn't for you then work. There pretty much isn't any other option

If you're going to college, it's a lot better than high school. Best advice is to go community for the first year or two until you decide what you want to do, pick a school and transfer your credits there.

Good news: You have a few months off

Bad news: After that, you're back to the tyranny, pain, AND despair.

Well thanks for telling us all about it. That's super interesting, and definitely worth making a thread. I mean, it's not like one insignificant human being has done something that millions have done before, and millions will do in the future. No, this is serious!

So you don't plan to ever get a job (tyranny), get married (so painful) or turn 40 (despair)?  Wow, good for you!

High School was the easy part.  So now go to college, and be sure to pick up $50k-$100k or so in student loans.  Then, wonder wth you're going to do once you graduate.  Find a $40k/yr job and hope you didn't get anyone pregnant along the way.  Then, deal with a boss who is half as smart as you or start your own business and put in 60+ hours a week trying to keep it afloat.  Oh, and that debt?  It got bigger, as do your credit cards paying for suits for the $40k a year job or payroll as you get your business rolling.  Then you go to bed one night, wake up, and it's 15 years later and you wonder what the hell just happened.  Then you pay more money to the credit cards, household bills, that car you didn't really need but wanted to have as you commute an hour to that job, etc.  

Then, as you get older, and you wonder where it all went, you look around and wonder how you didn't screw it all up more, then you look at your kid, who's in high school and already knows more than you'll ever know and you'll say "when I was your age, I thought that high school was the end of tyranny, pain and despair!" and your kid will think you're full of crap, that the world is his or her oyster and that they'll never make the same stupid mistakes you made along the way...

Congratulations!

Prepare for a crappy job(it's not like the newly graduated get the most glamorous jobs) or more school. You might as well get a degree that matters, high school graduate ain't much to put on your resume.

It's all downhill from here.

My honest opinion.  Get out there in the workforce.  Learn a trade (ie. Painting, drywalling, floor laying, or something like that that doesn't involve any real formal training) as those things pay incredibly well and can be transferred anywhere.   If you don't want to do it for your whole life at least you can start saving up money to further your education, and once you do decide to go back to school you'll be able to afford it instead of having to go deep in debt to pay for it.

Right, I get so annoy when I open GB and see all those threads popping up at me about graduating high school, the site MAKES you click on them and they FORCE you to post in them! THEY EVEN MAKE YOU READ ALL THE POSTS IN THE THREAD BEFORE FORCING YOU TO REACT TO THESE POSTS-

Oh wait, they totally don't.

Go to school and rack up absurd amounts of debt or work a shitty minimum wage job under the false hope that somehow you'll find a way to make it in the year 2011 without a degree. The choice is your's!!!!

I was going to say you could be "Guy who never finished high school because he was spoiled but thinks it inherently makes him tougher and works a minimum wage job making shitty mixtapes and hoping he'll get signed some day." but you're officially overqualified for that position in society. Think of it as a good thing, though.

I joined the military after high school. I went to a community college after my service was over. I never graduated, been kicking around ever since. Good luck.

It's still awesome, don't get me wrong.  I would never go back to my high school days( as fun as they were).  But, there is more bullshit you have to deal with it.  However, you do have more control over how you deal with the bullshit.  You just have to be prepared for any and all consequences from your choices.

Congrats! I remember when I was in high school I thought everything there shaped the rest of my life. I'm just finished my 3rd year of college and I look back and realize nothing that happened in high school really affected anything in college.
