Attention Upcoming Seniors:
Don't go to college right after school. Take a year off. Get a shitty job and have some fun.
Did you know school get's exponentially cheaper when you turn 24? Do you know what you actually want to do? Do you even know yourself?
I graduated from school a few weeks ago and my only regret is going to school right after highschool.
Think about it... if you're not getting debt from student loans, you're not gaining obligations. The economy sucks right now and most kids graduate and move back in with their 'rents.
Sorry to rain on your parade. I thought college was the shit my first week too... I learned a lot, had a lot of booze, slayed a lot of dragons, and could have NOT wasted a couple years trying to figure out my career path...
I've been there, done that. All colleges are cool. They are all fun. But guess what? there is no hurry to go to one.
That's some shit your high school teachers won't tell you, your parents don't know, and that sadly, you'll figure out 2 or three years into paying for a bunch of bullshit you'll get for almost free if you wait a few years and enjoy your youth.
But I'm just a recent college graduate. You don't have to listen to me.
