Ghostoker,

No, you didn't sound arrogant. Hopefully, you'll figure out what will make you happy. I hope you do rethink college because it may not seem like what you want to do now, but someday, you may regret it. I didn't go and now I am taking a course at almost 30 with a family and it's hard. I wish I would've done it after high school, instead of going to trade school (what the hell was I thinking?).

As far as religion goes, I still don't have that all sorted and I'm not worried. There are lots of people who post on these boards that feel the same as you and I. I just keep trying to learn about different faiths until I come up with something that makes sense to me.

You are a very smart 17 year old and have a good head on your shoulders. Keep dreaming and change the world in whatever little way you can to make it a better place...it's really all you can do. And don't let anyone tell you that you have to give up cannabis to be a success! That's bullshit. As long as you are motivated, you can achieve anything.

PS. I hope the "old" Jersey is a lot better than the new one!
