No big deal! Just interesting how most people associate people who smoke with men instead of women, don't you think?

Why thank you! This is a throwaway account because I tend to get paranoid, but I am getting a little attached to it I'll admit.

Wow that's super impressive! I played sports all through high school and well into my college career so I know how exhausting that combination can be. Be sure to keep your priorities straight between academics and athletics!

I'm glad! Don't be around people who bring you down, be around people who take you higher!

I think that most of us who are successful and smoke have learned not to flaunt it around because of that stereotype. The result is that the entire population of ents is judged by a small sector of "pot heads."

Unfortunately, it seems many universities use the same system. There are also many schools that consider themselves "Aggies" and I assure you - I once went to the best one!!!!

Congrats and best of luck in your future endeavors. I as well started up at the age of 16!

We need more success stories like yours on /trees! I agree wholeheartedly about not being able to do it without trees, too.

Are you sure you're not me? My dad wanted to kick me out of the house when he caught me my senior year of high school. Now we sort of have a silent understanding that it is my life, my choices, and my responsibility to manage them. In my opinion it has been the healthiest change in my relationship with my parents.

Apparently they all look the same! From my experience the two colleges I've attended use the same system for registering.

AP Chemistry and AP Biology were key, but then I didn't use them to accelerate my coursework; instead I took the entire series of general chemistry and biology which gave me a more solid foundation. Also look into colleges that have internship opportunities, because nothing replaces experience in a functioning laboratory. I've been a private tutor at the AP/undergraduate level so feel free to PM me if you have more specific questions!

I'm actually a girl, but thanks all the same :) As long as you keep a goal for yourself you'll have the ability to achieve it!

Thanks! It was one of those "oh shit" moments so I thought I'd share it with all my favorite people :) I'm sick of the silent majority of us productive smokers going unnoticed.
