@KyraChan:

No problem.
(Sorry for the late reply)

Oh...Well, okay then...

Speaking for friendships, with your idea of wanting to travel that construct in my opinion seems obsolete.
Our minds have been warped to believe that you can judge how and what makes a friend, be it distance or what you do, what you bond over, or what you do together, or even how often you interact. I personally believe that you should judge for yourself what defines a friend.
But at the same time, if you're going to be travelling a lot; unless its a vacation-type of thing or if its a group project, travelling is more of a personal endeavor. You're going to see the world with your own eyes, and concerning yourself with others hinders the purpose sometimes.

That sounds very intriguing.

@Kazamas-Keyblade:

Thank you so much! ^^

Haha, actually I'm an Aquarius ^^'

Friendships... yeah, I agree with you in that they're very ephemeral, but the thing with that realization is that it only frustrates me. If friendships are so ephemeral, what's the point of having them in the first place? We work so hard trying to build them, overcoming huge things such major differences in personality and yet such simple things like time and distance can easily break them apart. That's why I've come to value internet-based relationships - distance is never really a factor and even the effects of time apart seem to be nullified.

And I get the idea of traveling and semesters abroad and stuff... I know I'm at least going to do a semester abroad to Japan, maybe doing one in Russia, Sweden, or Germany, too... Once again, the only thing that's stopping me is money.

@KyraChan:

For starters:

I know exactly how you feel about being a "slug" (although I call it a "sloth" because I use "slug" for something else) and not having much motivation.
You're a Taurus, right? Somehow it seems like you and I share a Taurus quirk where even when we're doing absolutely nothing we always want to at least feel like we're working so we just do abstract stuff (like playing video-games, which is what we have in common)
As for Self-Worth, I would say that your self-worth comes from both from your internal acceptance and external actions, as you put it. From your internal point you store all of your pride and confidence and your inextinguishable hope for yourself and your future, but I try not to get too cocky or full of myself, so I secretly worry about what others think and believe. It's good that your parents support you, because they're your most formidable line of defense.

Friendships...To be truly honest, I'm an old soul. I think friends are superficial, at least at my age. The people I talk to today will probably never recognize me in 10 years so I try not to get hung up over it in the present. I have fun in my own ways because I've been alone a lot, but I do appreciate and value the "friends" I have.

Living a Dream...I was pondering that earlier.
I feel like I want to travel a lot too. Just how active my mind is, is how I want my life to be. I rarely feel comfortable setting down in one place, especially with my upbringing. Recently I've wondered what it'd be like to study abroad or maybe after I'm done with college or wherever I go--maybe go to some foreign country...Roam the desert...Find my spirit animal, something. It's just, even though home is comfortable, it can also be very toxic at times.

I didn't mean to talk about myself too much, but I hope you got something out of this.
As for your AP scores, you are awesome and don't let anyone tell ya different! I'm still kinda mad that I got a 2 on my AP tests, and my ACT scores didn't come back as well either, but that's excellent of you.

@Kazamas-Keyblade:

I think we are of kindred spirits, at least to some degree...

And I would love to hear your thoughts ^^

You and I must be of kindred spirits because I've been having the same thoughts.
If it matters to you, I could offer some insight or at least an answer...
