Four years. That may seem like a reasonably long amount of time, but it's all gone before you know it. As soon as we got into high school, we looked forward to the day we get out. Finally, that day is quickly approaching. Now that we're down to the last few days of our lives in high school, it's time to plan for the next step: COLLEGE. It's these next four years of our lives that are often the greatest, and it is important to treasure them because they'll fly by just as fast as the previous four. Some people may be set on what they want out of their college experience (fraternity/sorority, business major, PhD, etc.); some may think they're sure but they end up changing their minds; some may have absolutely no idea what they want to do with the rest of their lives. This is the time to make mistakes. Change your mind 50 times- maybe not 50 unless you want to pay a ton of money. If we go in to college thinking that if we make a mistake that our lives will be ruined, we are depriving ourselves from personal experience, which leads to wisdom. The best way to learn is by making a mistake, and changing for the better. I hope all of you seniors have a great summer and receive the greatest experience from your college. Be sure to live it up!

You're absolutely right. The best way we learn is through our mistakes. Most of us do not know exactly what we want to do with our lives ten years down the line, but college is the time to find out and discover new subjects and interests we are not familiar with. It's up to us to shape our future.

I definitely agree. College is about finding yourself and figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life, so mistakes are bound to happen. College is really the time to change your mind over and over again, because once it's over and you're really an adult, it's going to be too late!
