![]() Thanks, guys. That was very informative. I finished high-school and never went to, or intend to, collage. I hated school more then anything else in my life, and the thought of going to another one just makes me wanna die.
![]() I don't know what it is but Frankie just dosent strike me as the collage type. I guess that's just one more thing that makes her out of my league if she were real. ![]()

![]() Wellll... It depends, she coudl actually have finished earlier than 18: I'm a year younger than my classmates and I got an offer to skip senior year (I don't actually meet the qualifications, though) from a college in california, which would mean i'd start college at 16. WHich i can't, but it's possible for someone not so hard-headed as I to do.

![]() I personally think Frankie didn't go to college yet, or if she did, she just got started and had to stop due to her duties at Foster's. Frankie's knowledge of the computer and judging by her own attitudes, I'd say she's been out of high school for a bit now.
My guess is that she wasn't able to do as much at Foster's as a child as she was growing up, with school and all. But now that she's an adult, she's free to take time off and devote herself full time to Foster's, which is what's most important to her. Frankie doesn't seem like the kind of person who's rushing to go back to school, she seems content and happy where she is. I'm sure she wants to go back but it's obvious no matter how you slice it that her heart will always belong at Foster's first and foremost.

![]() I just think it's a bit fast for her to finish college so quickly.
Especially with such a heavy load to take care of at Foster's.

![]() Well, college is typically 4 years. If she graduated high school at the age of 17 (her birthday being in July, so she would have turned 18 that summer) and entered college that fall (again, at the age of 18), she would have graduated at the age of 21 (in May/June) and turned 22 the following July. I was 17 when I graduated high school, it's quite common.
But if anyone prefers to think she didn't go to college, no one's stopping them. ![]()

![]() I just don't find Frankie to be the collage type. I'm not insulting her intellagane or anything, she just seems happy at Fosters. We all know that she's going to take over someday.

Incidentally, I graduated when I was 17 from high school, turned 18 the following July(didn't the info on Frankie's DL say she was born in July, as well?), and completed my undergraduate degree by the time I was 21. I COULD have actually graduated earlier than that, having exempted most of my basic ed requirements, like US History, Literature 101, and several Biology and General Science, by taking AP tests in high school. I just got sorta lazy in my Sr. year of college and opted out against taking a full course load each first semester, which meant I had to go through the second semester to get enough credits. pitbulllady Last edited by pitbulllady; 11-03-2006 at 02:40 PM. |

![]() the "Frankie My Dear" reference to her "major" and "graduation" does everything short of prove that the writers intend her to be a college graduate.
Mr. M, I haven't seen anything that indicates (with certainty) that she's worked at Foster's fulltime all through her college-age years (she's obviously lived there, or at least shown up for picture day and secret door openings). Finishing college before or at the age of 22 is certainly not unthinkable... |
