- You DO NOT have to finish in four years. Of all the people I knew in high school (four years ago), only a handfull are actually finished now. These are the best years of your life... enjoy them while they last. It is nice, however, to have a plan laid out for when you *do* plan on finishing.

- It's O.K. if you *still* don't know what you want to do when you "grow up." I was in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics before I finally settled on Math Education for a major.

- Make a 5- and 10-year plan. I don't mean just a career plan. Try to predict where you'll be living, whether you'll have a family yet, what kind of car you'll be driving. Write up a quick biography of everything you feel is important about you now and then try to predict how each of those categories will be different later.

- "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Be prepared to deal with the unexpected.

- Girls: Dating older guys may seem cool, but most of them have intentions that are far from virtuous.

- Guys: Be chivalrous as often as you can. Nice guys don't finish last... they get nice girls.
