Here's a different perspective: I'm in my second year of college and I'm having more fun than I've ever had in my life. I'm more social, more confident, more outgoing than I could ever have imagined myself to be when I was in HS (though, I confess, I'm still not as self-reliant as I would like to be; would someone like to give me a job? :p).

Both college and HS are what you make of them. My HS years were crappy because I was an idiot back then. I'm sure I'm still an idiot now, but at least I'm the right kind of idiot :)

Hear what HN has to say, but do what you think is right. What works for us might not work for you.
