If it's going to put you in debt and you don't have something you're really burning to study, I wouldn't recommend going to college straight out of high school. I went right away to placate my parents, who thought it was the best thing for me. I had never supported myself, had never worked a full time job, didn't appreciate college while I was there.

While I was in school studying English, I just wanted to be traveling the world and playing music. I hated a lot of my classes, a lot of the people in them. I hated the weather and the vague plan I had to graduate and then go to law school. I never really planned on doing that, just told people it to make myself laugh.

Now, I'm out of college, supporting myself and more than ever, I wish I was in college. I might even go to grad school at some point, something I would've never considered while I was in school. If you aren't appreciating college, I highly recommend you drop out, get a job, see how much that sucks and then go back with the wonderful new attitude you'll have toward education.

At all costs, appreciate school while you are there. Don't take it for granted. Get really into your classes and if your professor seems like a wanker, drop the class immediately and enroll in something else. Play ultimate frisbee as often as possible, start a band, sleep till four in the afternoon, start your own club dedicated to something you think is cool, make a film. You should try to do everything during college because after that, doing these things requires more sacrifice.
