So, I dropped out of college last June. (Did I mention that? I'm mentioning it now.) So, I need to apply for a college so I can go to a college so I can get on with my life. But my GPA's too low to get into an actual college, so I have to go to a community college so I get my GPA up so I can apply for an actual college so I can go to an actual college so I can get on with my life. But the nearest community colleges are in Muskegon and Grand Rapids, so I need to learn how to drive so I can go to a community college so I can get my GPA up so I can apply for an actual college so I can go to an actual college so I can get on with my life. But it's probably too late to apply for the fall term so I have to learn how to drive so I can get a job so my parents don't kick me out of the house so I can go to a community college so I can get my GPA up so I can apply to an actual college so I can go to an actual college so I can get on with my life.

Chances are slim that it's too late to apply to a community college. Keep this in mind -- more than anything, schools want your money. "Real" colleges even moreso -- but with that in mind, they want to make sure that you will continue to go -- hence the reason for not accepting people with lower grades.
It's not too late. Get to school.

Our community colleges have online courses which require only on-campus intro session and one on-campus final. The rest is entirely online. Maybe yours do, too. The subjects are limited and the courses are not walks in a park, either.

Davi:
Believe me, the more time you waste, the worse your position will be. Get your license, get a job, whatever you can. Community college will take close to anyone. What they wont do is force you to go to class or pass you along like high school will.
Take it from someone who sailed those stormy seas. If I could go back, the one thing I would have done instead of working five years in dead-end jobs during the time my peers were building their careers was GO BACK TO SCHOOL. Your youth is the time when you get into your career, and work for crap before getting promoted into the actual good jobs. The problem is, once you get past a certain age, they don't want you in those entry jobs. They want to teach you the job young.
If you can't stand the thought of going back to college, then go to a trade school. Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC schools are all available locally, and they make good money. It's not office work, but you are pretty much guaranteed to have work forever as long as you are good.
Dude, I feel for you, but keep your head high and good things will come.

Heh. Yeah, life is complicated sometimes. I dropped out of college about ten years ago and am just now going back to community college. Not a grades issue in my case. Life just sorta tossed me more curveballs than I could handle at one time. Starting over sucks, but hey, it's better than giving up. :)
As far as community college deadlines...is your FAFSA current? If not, get it in ASAP. Some community colleges (including the one I'm applying for) have late deadlines for financial aid. Also, definitely not too late to apply for community college. Most of them have open enrollment right up until classes start and they make it as easy as possible for people to get in. Good luck, however things work out.| Urizen |

Not at all. Won't know anything about that until tomorrow. But he found some good job leads and this helped him feel less panicky about it, so he decided not to call off gaming night.

The best way is to use the old SSI gold box games trick of creating and dropping characters to multiply magic items.
You use that to give everyone multiple Dusts of Disappearance and use it to kill the Mulmaster Beholder Corp.
Note: It took a long time to kill about thirty beholders in one battle with 7th level characters in that game, The Curse of the Azure Bonds, if my memory serves me correctly.

Tsk tsk tsk. See what happens when you waste all your gold on stupid crap like magic weapons and potions. Always pack itching powder and some sort of diuretic. :P

Go and get something I ain't never seen.
And on the discount rack, I see Deliverance,
And I'm watchin' it now and they've got to that scene
Where they meet the hillbillies and they're big and they're mean'
And who's that crawlin' around on his knees?
It's Ned Beatty! (Beatty!) Ned Bea-yay-yay!
Ned Beatty had the hardest part
'Cause redneck love leaves emotional scars.
I guess he didn't read the script too far;
Ned Beatty had the hardest part!
Well, I wonder what kind of parts Ned turned down
Oh, I wonder how desperate he was.
'Cause I've heard it's pretty tough in Hollywood,
But I woouldn't ever let them tie me to a tree;
Screamin' and holdin' up my BVDs;
Waitin' for Burt to come and rescue me,
Sayin' "Hey Burt!" (Hey Burt) Hey-yay-yay!
Ned Beatty had the hardest part.
If you got a purty mouth, you can be a big star.
I bet the next day, his agent got fired.
Ned Beatty had the hardest part!
Well, don't let 'em get you Ned don't let 'em next to you!
Don't let 'em get you Ned you know what he wants to do!
Think of your momma Ned put you through drama school;
Is this what she had in mind? You think she's proud of you?
Ned Beatty! (Beatty!) Ned Bea-yay-yay!
Ned Beatty had the hardest part!
He's taken method acting just a bit too far,
'Cause this ain't exactly Shakespeare-in-the-Park.
Ned Beatty had the hardest part!
Ned Beatty had the ha-a-a-a-a-a-arde-e-e-e-est pa-a-a-a-art!
Who-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oa-oa!
had the hardest part!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oa-oa!
had the hardest part

I remember you used to be able to do that on Ultima for the SNES(?). I'd have second level heroes with enough gold to BUY the dragon. :D
