1

Do PSEO.

Sure, it's a bummer missing your Senior year of HS. But you know what else is a bummer? 50k in student loans.

2

Go to community college for your general courses.

Trust me, you will save money and time.

3

AP Classes, allllll dayyyy.

Do as many AP classes in high school as you can. And actually study for these tests, because they're the only ones that matter.

4

Start off Undecided for your major.

Because those journalism classes will be a complete waste of time once you change to Biochemistry.

5

Keep on top of your required courses.

Check that list every semester so you don't waste any time.

6

Take your grades seriously.

And leave partying for when you're two weeks ahead in the syllabus.

7

Don't take "for fun" classes.

Sorry, but "fun" doesn't mean spending an extra 5k. You can take those at the community center once you're graduated and debt-free.

8

Become BFFs with your advisor.

Make it clear you want to graduate early and butter them up with some muffins. They'll help you get there.

9

Don't get involved in TOO many extracurriculars.

1-2 max.

10

Sports won't last forever.

Sure, being on the volleyball team is fun and seems like your top priority, but nobody cares about your college sports team in the real world.
