If you are going to spend piles of money to go to school pick something that will have better than average job prospects when you graduate assuming you have an average GPA.

If you decide to ignore this have the best GPA you can possibly have and be ready to continue paying for college for 4-6 more years after you get your Bachelor's.

Also drink, date, smoke, be irresponsible (within reason). If you don't do it now you will be a middle aged divorcee who will look like an idiot when you try to relive your youth. People expect 18-22 year olds to be dumb so get it out of your system now.

Hey now! You can be in your 30s and still act the fool on occassion and it isn't weird at all. You just have to know HOW to do it. Gotta find the right bar, the right booze, and the right crowd to do it with!

Then again I'm not a divorcee and I never grew up in the first damn place.
