Huh? Patience young grasshopper...
Get a degree in something other than aviation, and learn to fly part time while doing it. I assume your parents are funding this. If you're borrowing for it, then get a job, a degree, and cash flow the flying. It's not worth the massive debt.
And I'll echo what was said about enjoying college. Learn what you can (non aviation), chase women, drink beer, network. You'll end up well rounded and be more enjoyable to fly with on a four day trip. This will show in an interview.
