Is this plan to weird or won't work?

<p>My life story is a little too long, so I’ll just say I went from a 4.0 student, arrogant, lots of friends, good family, money, prodigy guitar ability to having a GPA of 2.57, addiction problems, behind in math class, broken family/father in jail, no money, no real friends, I’m a sad person, and I have no extra activities, mainly because I haven’t played guitar in 2 years and can’t do jazz band.</p>

<p>Anyway I haven’t had fun for 3 years. At the end of my senior year I think I can get my GPA back up to around 3.2. I got my self together during the 2nd half of my junior year and got mostly As. Then I’ll go to community college for a year, get straight A’s there and complete one advanced math course (I just started Geometry in my senior year of high school, I’m supposed to be at least Algebra 2). I’ll get incredibly involved at my community college. I’ll take challenging courses. I’ll get at least a little above average score on the SAT I believe.</p>

<p>Then, do you think I could get into a good college with one year of straight A community college? and if I do get accepted, could I go in as a freshman instead of a sophomore? I heard freshman year is a great time to start a new social life and party because classes are a little easier. I feel I haven’t, as I heard someone say once, got my “yeahs yeahs” out. I’ve never been to a real party where people get drunk and have over the top fun… I don’t want to go into college as a sophmore, struggle with social life because so many clicks have been already made, and before I know it I am overloaded with work because junoir and senior years college gets harder and people have calmed down a little, so not as fun.</p>

<p>I want my freshman experence is what I am trying to say.</p>

<p>Any advise, please. Right now I feel like I have failed at life and want to get addicted to heroine and die in a gutter…</p>

<p>My brain is so scattered from stress and depression so sorry if this isn’t that on point.</p>

<p>edit:
BTW, I managed, through my haze of depression, to get a 3 on both the AP World History exam and the AP US History exam. I got an A grade in AP Biology, but didn’t take the AP test.</p>

<p>1) It will be easier for you to transfer after you have finished two full years at the CC. In part because there will be formal articulation agreements between that CC and some 4-year schools, and in part because you will have more time to get to know the professors who will write your letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>2) You don’t get to decide which credits to transfer, the college you transfer to gets to decide that. It is entirely possible (but very unlikely) for you to be accepted as a “junior transfer” but have all of your CC credits count as electives so that you end up having to spend four full years at the new place.</p>

<p>3) If you want to have the “freshman experience” just so you can go to parties where you can “get drunk and have over the top fun” you have no business being in college just yet. Not to mention that if you do indeed have a history of addiction you should know better than to put yourself in that kind of environment. </p>
