Anyone have some really good advice or quotes?

I am going to be graduating High School this May and I was wondering if anyone can offer me some advice helpful to people my age. I am headed off to live in the dorms of ASU next year and luckily I got a single room WITH a bathroom including a shower. I was so excited when I found out that I got a single room because I can't imagine what I would be like after having to be around people I probably don't like that much.

Any one have any quotes on things? I have one, it is kinda like about how I live my life and it was said by George Herbert Leigh Mallory, an amazing climber who first tried to summit Everest in the 1920's. When reporters asked him why he was trying to climb Mount Everest, he replied "Because it is there." When people ask me why I do things sometimes (like grow Cannabis), I say "because it is there."

Anyone have some great wisdom they would like to lay upon me?

Thank you for everything you contribute,

I've been trying to think of profound quotes or advice, especially about college life, but I'm fresh out. I think that's because it's finals week at my school and I'm worn out. If one comes to me later, I'll pass it on. Mostly make sure you have a lot of fun and try and spare your liver of binge-drinking! Oh! And go to class. . . .

Yeah I would say ALWAYS go to class.

...why do you assume you won't like a room-mate?.....I learned more about life from room-mates...than I ever did at a university alone.....:cool:

Wow, so many replies! Thank you all. These were my favorite:

Those all struck something personal with me. I am doing a thing kinda like the bartender and cab thing. I am doing the "semester abroad" with ASU but during the summer time. Every summer I will be in a different country for 3 years because I'm not going abroad this summer or after I graduate (classic 4 year graduation).

I will probably room with a room mate and expect the worst and hope for the best, best being someone I will be friends with and learn a lot from.

I thing I will start taking more "shots" at life because I will miss 100% of the shots I never take. Change in inevitable and I can look above for help when I'm going through hell and remember to just keep on going.

Thank you all for your contributions.

I went in the army when I got out of high school, I was an airborne ranger

it changed my life, wow what a trip, hard core shit. but I think every body
should do some kind of life changing thing when they get out of high school

so I,am glad you are doing something, it will take you from a child to a man or woman, so put your head down and charge..

"always use a condom,,, cuz basketball players know, you dribble before your shoot"

I like the Bible quote in my sig. It's funny as hell and they're not going to say you can't use it, cause hey, it's the Bible.

Oneironaut- I don't even wear boxers or anything, but I want a men's version of that Soviet Russia logo thing (Boxer briefs? lol)

Dude, I would hate having a single dorm. Me and my roommate ended up being great friends. College is the biggest opportunity you will ever have to meet new people and try new things. Don't take it for granted, itll be the best time youll ever have.

See sig.

one of my personal favorites:

sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

No one OWES you a damn thing, you have to WORK for everything you have. Thats a great one. It's what I live by at least.

What about my friend who owes me $80? He owes me quite a damn thing lol
