[Guest chibi_usa]

Lol. I read the other topic and that made me think. I'm going to a reg college not university lol...I know it's going to be different than in high school... And I don't really know what to do... And ya I suck at being specific >.>""

Well what do you want to do?

And what do you mean? What to study? How to act? How to dress? How to socialize? I assume you're referring to how act and dress with respects to being trans. I guess you should do what you feel comfortable doing. Go slow, or if you want, go fast. Be yourself, and have fun.

Hi honey

April has a good point, all I have to add is do stay safe.

Make a few or just one good friend and when you go out have someone with you.

There are a lot of people out there that would like to do us harm. Some are uneducated and fear us, some may have the same feelings as we do but feel like they have to prove themselves to others to fit in and be accepted.

Please just be cautious when going out as yourself.

Become a teacher. And no, not an early-childhood/elementary school teacher because EVERYONE does that and the market there is wayyyy over-saturated. We need middle, highschool, and post secondary teachers. Math, science, special education and tech specialists are most welcome, but any subject other than art is fine as well. I started out majoring in secondary english/history education but then switched to computer information systems. I already have my Praxis 1 certification, so I may go back after I get my bachelor's and take the Praxis 2 so I can get my teaching certification.

In addition to what April said, I'd recommend checking out your college before you go. See if there's an LGBT group and tell them about who you are, ask them what it's like there. If you're going to dorm, see if there are gender-neutral dorms. If there's not, contact housing and explain your situation and see what you can do. Being prepared rocks.

Study what you're interested in and enjoy over what could potentially pay more in the long-term.

I've had friends that have made this mistake and they've relayed this regret to me with apparent sincerity.

You gotta consider, you're gonna be doin' this the rest of your life most likely and you wanna be content for the duration, right?

If your asking about choosing a career path let me just say from someone who is practically a career student. Diversify. make a list of everything you are intereseted in. Take the thing on the list that pops out the most to you right now and make that your declared major since most college/univ require one. Take 2 classes in your "major" for your first few semesters and about 2 to 3 classes in areas that you want to understand better. If you find something you kinda like, take another class. Keep doing this till you find one you actually like. If it take you a while to get something you like and it ends up not being the major you originally declared you can always make that your minor. Whatever you do, dont limit yourself right away. College is for finding out who you are, so explore(im not talking about sex or drugs here, im talking about hobbies, religion, careers).
