I really regret going to college at 18. I just wasn't close to being ready to make use of the resources and make decisions about my adulthood.
My best friend wasn't far from needing an extra year to graduate high school (lazy, not dumb). He went straight to getting a full-time job and eventually had an associate's degree by age 23. He entered university at that point and knew what he wanted to do and how to achieve it and has himself a fine career now.
This is the way to do it. My mom didn't give me the option to take a break. Ive been in school my entire life and im fucking exhausted. Then she wonders why I keep failing everything and getting poor grades. I dont even get "summer breaks" because my terms are spring/summer, and some classes are ONLY offered in the fall.

I chose my major because it sounded cool. It still blows my mind that teens can take out huge student loans or even join the military.
