Aloysius Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 woah... you missed out! haha, well, I think boy meets world mostly holds a special place in the hearts of people who watched it while growing up, or people whose kids were growing up while the show was going on.

homeschoolmom Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I like to hang with my ABC afterschool special friends.
prose Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Well, can't you just make your major something religious related? Like take some extra philosophy courses and religious studies. This may help you if you feel that you are called to that vocation. You can even get a Theology degree or a degree in religious studies. Why not look into switching to a religious university and look into that? I am sure (unless it is from that specific university) that your scolarship will work at any place of study. And applying means that you may not even be going for 9 months. If you decide not to go, you have LOTS of time to discuss it with parents, but if you withdrew your application, you may be too late to reapply if you decide you want to go.

Especially a cloistered contemplative one. If I was to get a degree, I should be getting one in plumbing or something practical lol!!!! Oh well, I'll just keep praying.

Fred Savage's little brother yadda, yadda... and I thought, "six weeks-- tops" Then I'd see it was STILL on... with the same kids... it was all Saved By the Bellish...

Aloysius Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 well, of course... but you shouldn't restrict the term "education" to schools. let's not kid ourselves, most colleges and universities nowadays exist primarily for the purpose of giving people degrees with which they can get good carreers and secondarily for the persuit of higher education.

I know some of them like to hear you already completed a BS or BA because you can do alot with a degree.
