GREAT POST! Seriously, it shouldn't necessarily be in the Alldeaf hall of fame, but it does deserve some special honorable mention or something.
Just to add a little to this, as someone who is a college freshman, remember these things:
Your freshman year, no matter how many friends you make and how many orgs you join, will be a bit lonely, especially first semester. If you are living out of a family situation for a first time, it is a big change. There isn't always someone there. Doesn't mean you can't have a great time, just know there will be a lot more alone time.
College can be great, no matter what "scene" you are into. If you are into drinking, drugs, indiscriminate sex, etc. you can get that in college. But, if you are into having fun without some or any of those 3, you can do that too. I am not sure where you are going to school, but if you are going to a big university, you can find people from ALL over the spectrum. Get to know people who are different from you. That's one part of all that college is about.
College is an amazing, life changing experience. My general phrase of advice: "Try to fit school into your college education!"
Good Luck!
