Don't waste time doing nothing when you graduate from high school. Since you're already in the school mindset continue on with your education, it's better to do it while you're young so you can have time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. College also helps you to become a more responsible and socially conscious adult. It teaches you how to make better decisions for your life and how to be responsible for your own actions. I would recommend anyone who can to get a college education, after all it is a lifetime investment in yourself.

Higher education is a privilege, not a right. For too long you have slid through the cracks and found the loopholes. Yes, on paper you may look like a superstar going into college, but a full resume means nothing now unless you are ready to work harder than ever. Those textbooks, you better read them. Skimming and just listening in class does not suffice. From now on, grades are no longer a reflection of working the system, but knowing the material. There will be late nights, and fun times may be sacrificed from time to time. But, it is in pursuit of something priceless and greater, knowledge. This is the opportunity to have experts in every field at your fingertips. They came here to share with you what they have dedicated their lives to. How ridiculous would it be to not take advantage of this, the chance of a lifetime? It goes by fast, so each day ask yourself, 'If I graduated tomorrow, would I be proud of what I have done so far?' Depending on your answer, you can decide what you need to do to enhance your experience and truly make college, 'the best years of your life'.
