Go for whatever you enjoy most.

Indeed. Find a career path that you enjoy and you can see yourself doing for 30+ years. One of the worst feelings in the world is waking up on a workday and having your first thought be "i HATE my job."

Good luck to you all! Enjoy every single minute of college because it flies by in a flash.

I wouldn't get to used to small classes, depending on the school . My smallest class so far has been around 30ish and my largest has been around 150+. As far as being around people that want to learn, I wouldn't get used to that either. The majority of my classes are people on laptops doing Facebook, a fantasy sport or MySpace. If they are not doing any of those 3, then they are text messaging and then the remaining people are paying attention. C's get degrees is like the law for undergrad it seems, unless you're planning to go on to do graduate work and beyond.

Like its been said earlier though, college is gonna be what you put into it. If you don't give a shit, nobody else will either and you wont gain anything. My only bit of advice that I can give, is go to class. No matter what state your're in (unless you're sick and get excused) go to class. Have fun too, you're there for school, but there is a lot more to college than that.
