Any regrets
Sometimes I wish I could have gone to University right out of high school. But, I was only sixteen, so I held off on applying. Now, I'm proud I went the Community College route. I feel more prepared for the college lifestyle and workload...although I may decide to be a Super Senior and stay Three Years indead of Two. Muahaha.
