I wish I had. Blew my first and only chance at Ole Miss. Too many drugs and girls, not enough study. Classic story. I didn't flunk out but I got in enough trouble I had to quit anyways. Serves me right I guess. I had given zero thought to what I wanted in life. You have no business going to college just because it's the next thing to do. If you have a goal in mind then yeah go for it. If you're anything like I was? Get a shitty job and live on your own awhile before you play your hand. A year or two to grow outside your high school bubble does wonders to your perception. Whatever. Wish you the best! It's rough out there.
