College Classes...
- Thread starter swizeguy
- Start date
Good idea. Take the classes that wouldn't be concerned with your major though. For example, say you want to major in Biochemistry (good knows why 
) so you'll take College Composition 101 or something. By taking courses like that, you'll get some of your core curriculum over with, allowing you to focus in on your major/concentration.
I hope this advice is good for you!

The only work I do in college is to see how much beer I can funnel before I throw up; or how long I can do a keg-stand.
But onto the topic at hand. Most high schools allow you to do JE (Joint Enrollment), though they only allow seniors to do it, at least here they do. Some of my friends that did JE their senior did not even have to go to the High School, because they were full time at the local community college. And so, not only did they get high school credit for their college courses, they also got college credit as well. Go talk to one of your high school counselors, they would be the ones to really help you out. Good Luck, bud.

Be Wary though, If you know where you want to go to college after you graduate, make sure if you take those AP classes or whatever, those credits will transfer, I took AP classes in highschool and none of my credits transferred to the University I was gonna attend... which blew sweaty nut sack cause it was just money and time pissed away down the drain.... ka woosh.
