While it may not longer still be appropriate to consider college an opportunity to explore "life" more broadly, it is still an environment where exploring different academic interests (or potential interests) in order to determine where one's greatest aptitude and intellectual interest lie is perfectly appropriate. Admittedly, it may be that some students (such as those with narrow and clearly defined areas of interest) should not necessarily be required to take certain "core curriculum" courses. However, the mature approach is simply to appreciate the opportunities that a higher education will provide and to consider core courses a necessary nuisance if one must.

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I would have worked a little harder in high school to give myself the best chances of qualifying for more financial aid because that expands your choices of colleges.
If I learned anything from my experiences working low-wage, menial jobs, it is that I do not want to earn a living that way for the rest of my life. In that regard, the experience was valuable because it has kept me motivated to achieve my educational goals. If I could give you any meaningful advice, it would be not to make the mistake of delaying your continued education and not to waste any opportunity to increase your options by choices and efforts you can make now.
