Who graduates what at eighteen?

Everyone being their own person with different goals and circumstances...

If I could go back to me at 18... I'd move far away from my home and live below my means and save some funds for a couple years. Then after having some extra SATs I'd provide some fun or funds for friends and family.

Go to college farther away from home. Try to establish a sense of self not entirely dependent on my roots and background. Travel solo during summer breaks. Spend a lot of time volunteering, perhaps even internationally.
