I'm not even 18 yet, won't be until September
I'm going to a community college for 2 years, then transferring to a bigger school. It's a really good way to save money, and I got a scholarship that's literally paying for all of the first 2 years, it's just.... everyone's leaving and I'm still here... it's really depressing.

The day the Valedictorian of my class asked me if I wanted fries, I knew I had won the game.
Honestly, I've never liked the way that everyone liked to push the idea that if you don't have a college degree you might as well hang yourself in a crusty ally. I think work ethic and what not amount for much more than just a degree.
