Regret

When I started my senior year in high school. I knew where I was going to go to college. I hadn't quite figured out what I was going to go to school for, but I knew where. I had not been pressured by my parents in anyway, but I felt the pressure from others. It seemed like a requirement in life to go to college right after school, so get going. I was signed up and had my housing before Christmas, I was ready to go. Exactly one year later I was back on my parents couch after just being officially suspended for poor grades. I was so unprepared for college and had no idea what I wanted when I got there, so I didn't care and I didn't try. I just wasn't ready. Reading this article made me feel sad for other who have issues too. I agree completely that colleges shouldn't allow students to enter so early, but that can't save every unprepared student. some just aren't ready.
