this is a good one breh, im 23 graduated a year n a half ago. i gotta get some nicer lookin shyt in the wardrobe. i got a couple dress shirts for goin out n shyt but i still rock thermals n j's on the wknds

Nothing wrong with that.
I have to pick up a few thermals myself. The last two days it's been 25-30 degrees here in the NY suburbs.

At your age you're still able to pull off a lot of the t-shirt and jeans thing that most young kids wear. But it's probably a good idea to slowly start accumulating different kinds of shoes and boots, jackets, sport coats...things like that. You just never know when you might be invited to a certain event and it would suck to avoid it because you didn't have the right clothes to fit in right.

But that's just my opinion. I'm sure for right now you're doing fine in that department.

Get an internship (applied for 1 at the museum the other day ago
Get a job
Finish off this quarter good so I can walk away with my AA


The rest of the things that I'd like to do aren't goals though, they're little things like: better my German, learn a bit of Dutch, read more and finish the books I have, bettering my organization, and utilizing my time the best that I can.

What do you want to be?

Orthodontist.

Undergrad = 4
Dental School = 4
Ortho School = 2-3

Best case scenario I'm looking at 10-11 years. But seeing how hard it is to get into Dental School & Ortho School who knows how long it'll actually take.

You can do it. As long as you keep your grades up in undergrad (aim for at minimum a 3.3 each semester...of course higher than that is better) and take your time studying for the graduate entrance exam for dental school, you will be fine. When I say take your time, I would spend six months to a year studying for it if you want to get in right off the bat. If your scores are high enough you could go to a really good one. If you can, save money every month over the next few years to enroll in a prep course for the exam.I have an associate who recently graduated from Columbia's dental school. It's definitely doable.

eta: sometimes the hardest part of graduate school applications is the recommendation aspect. Every time you take a class, you need to figure out if you have a connection with a professor. Try to build a relationship with 3-5 of them over the next three years so that it's easy for them to write recommendations. Do the same thing for any internships you may do.

Thank for the advice. I know its doable albeit a little tough. I've talked to the dentists I work for as well as my Orthodontist and they pretty much told me what said here. As for the recommendations I should be ok unless I fukk up tremendously in the next couple of years
