Have fun while u can, but don't slack off. college is great, but extremely hard work. try to enjoy yourself as much as you can because you may be overwhelmed with work in college.

First, try it. Actually GO to college. Money or no money. You can get loans.
Second, ask around and talk with people. Meet the profs if you can. Students can tell you who the good profs are.
Third, study something marketable. Unless you REALLY REALLY like it and want to just do it for its own sake. Art History is good if its how you would want to spend your time anyway but you might have to drive a cab to pay the student loans. If you have to actually work when you graduate, do LOTS of math, Science if you like it, Nursing if you will need money when you graduate. Other fields are good too. You get to do 2 years before you decide. Follow your interests. Learn what you have to learn. Ask WHY a lot? Yourself and the teachers. Then learn more of what YOU want to learn. Even if its not part of the class. Poke around in the library.

To enjoy the campus and to scope out where everything is in the town that you are going to, because you will need to know where the local Kinkos or Krispie Kreme is when you are burning the midnight oil, trying to get that last minute paper finished up. Another thing is to let your roommate know up front the things you like or dont like, so that you 2 can compromise.

Congrats on being able to increase your education!
Study hard and stay positive! Learn something from every event in your lifetime.
Never pre-judge! Read - Read - Read! Read everything! Never stop asking questions!
Put partying on the back burner, you'll have plenty of time for that later!
Believe that anything is possible! All to often, it is!
Good Luck with your future!

Discuss your plans with your parents and a school counselor. Let them help you decide, based on your SAT and possibly ACT scores, what college(s) are best for you. Base it on your major/minor or double majors also. Good Luck!

don't get too mad at your parents. you'll like them in college.
your friends you thought you had in high school will not be the same people when you come back for thanksgiving.
profs will fail you if you don't go to enough class.
you're not a nerd if you study
ENJOY WHAT'S LEFT OF HIGH SCHOOL!!!

Get a futon. They save a ton of room - then you can throw a couch under it.
Oh - and you get to pick an entire new image (if you want) and whatever you do - make that new image a confident one.
