College and All The Confusion It Comes With

So I'm sitting here printing out the application for Middlesex Community College. I start filling it out, name, address, number, e-mail, birthday, SSN, all that good stuff. Nothing hard, nothing confusing. Then I turned the page (why oh why did I turn the page?!?!?) "Highest Level Of Education" uhm...my only options..."no high school diploma" "high school diploma or GED".

My problem (and exactly what went on in my head): Well technically I have no diploma, I'm still in high school...but if I check that they might think I'm some stupid high school drop out trying to get into college with no GED or anything and be like PSH bitch please. no college for you and I'd be all but I really need to get into college. AHHHH!!!

So I check high school diploma because I'm in the process of that at the moment, still in my senior year.

So I'm like, OK cool that's done. Then I look down and it says "do you have a high school diploma": "yes, no, pending." WHY WASN'T PENDING AN OPTION AT THE TOP? *sigh* So I scribbled that out at the top and put no diploma and then checked pending at the bottom and filled out my graduation year (2012 bitchez).

Then the next page comes and it's all 'foreign students' or something and it has address info and then there's a box for employment info and I'm all "is that for me or the foreign people? the hell..." So I just say eff it and check unemployed (imma poor little hobo with no job that lives in a box...KIDDING.)

So...foreign people, boxes, checking and exing...confusion...imma red head but naturally I'm blond. explains a lot actually. Application is finally filled out though :) slowly on my way to going to college. i feel old. but don't tell my mom that. she'll kill me xD
