Graduating from high school and going to college for the first time can be both a scary and an exciting time in life. You are going to school on your own. You are responsible for your own schedule; to study or not to study. You make new friends. College is an excellent time for you to take advantage of all the benefits that the single life offers because, although you may not think so at the time, you will have more free time you will ever have in life while attending college.
