Hey,
I'm not 17 (21 instead) but I am in college, and I have had seizures since I was four. College life in general is a lot different, there's more stress, more responsibilities and to be honest socially it's weird not being able to drink like everyone else. If you have any questions about what it's like to go through such a huge change free to let me know, I'd be more than happy to talk about it or answer any questions.

I was diagnosed at 16 too and Im on my first semester of college as a 17 year old.I actually had a similar experience with the doctors being rude then actually check something out and then they are all nicey nicey.
But anyways I totally regret not replying to you this late because I would have liked to have made a podcast for your project it souded really interesting. The school work is overwhelming right now.
Got any advice for someone without a definite major. Im juggling all this school work and it's kind of starting to feel like it's for nothing.Im on a Liberal Arts Program at a Community College. Im suppost to transfer to a different school sometime whenever, to take advantage of free tuition. And so Im worried that when I do realize "what I want to do in life", that the work is not tranferable and that it wouldv'e just been better to take a break.
Thanks so much!
