I seem to be getting the same general vibe from everyone: stay in school, don't do drugs, keep a preferably lucrative alternative career in the back pocket, etc.
The other thing I've noticed in the comments is the recurring "don't forget to pop the don't-rush pills" theme. I'd simply like to address this with what I think most of you have an intimate understanding, "I've got the itch".

Like others have already said, enjoy your training and don't ever think that there is a big rush to finish it. Enjoy where you are in life and the lack of responsibility without getting into trouble.
I get perfect scores (no, really) on every language/reading comprehension test I take. The other facets of my intellect aren't quite as advanced, but it does help significantly in convincing people that I'm much more intelligent than I actually am.
...Or believe I am, anyway. I always have the illusory superiority/superiority bias and Dunning-Kruger Effect arguments (as well as the bias blind spot thrown in somewhere for ****s 'n giggles) somewhere up my metaphorical Floridian sleeve.
Given the choice, would you choose to attend ERAU tuition-free or another college?
