[serious] Teens of Reddit - is there something you'd like to know that you are too afraid/embarrassed to ask in person?

Go to school, study a general business or communication major, join one (or several) organizations, and you will have the best a college experience can offer.

Keep it all broad and generic early in college. As you take business classes you will realize what you are good at (math? advertising? accounting? presentations?), what you suck at, and most importantly what you like. Parlay your organizational relationships into lasting friendships, maybe one of those friendships you find is more than the others, and stick with that person for as long as you can tolerate each other's bullshit. Work really, really hard and throw yourself 100% into everything you do, graduate with all of your friends you have made over the 4 years, and use those organizations to find a job or an internship in whatever you find you really excelled at or liked.

I got married a couple of years ago to the love of my life that I met through my fraternity. I would not have met her if I didn't throw myself 100% into everything I did. I looked at our wedding party and realized that all of the most important people in my life I met by being involved in college. So many people spend their collegiate careers pissing away opportunities or never taking a chance. I can tell you right now that there will never be another time in your life when you are surrounded by thousands of your contemporaries, each just as broke, just as lost, just as free spirited as you are. Relish the chance to experiment; maybe you are a dancer. Maybe, you are a fraternity president. Maybe, just maybe, you will come up with an idea bullshitting around a lunch table with your friends that will change the world forever.

I have a laminated poster of Ms. Frizzle in my room, and I got it the day before I left for school in 2006. Its just the quote "Take chances, make a mistake, get messy!" My life since I went to college has been an exercise in just that. I had no idea who I was or what I wanted out of life when I entered, but I have everything I could have possibly dreamed because I kept it general, got involved, took chances, made mistakes (more than I can count), and got messy.
