For the longest time, when I was in high school, I went "yeah I'll go to college" and kind of blew it off from there. I didn't apply to the school I went to until my last semester of school -- around late February. And the only reason I did was because my councilor pulled me over and went "wtf are you doing after high school?" and I didn't have the heart to tell him I was considering staying in Germany until my parents moved, and would just take some basic classes at the community college there. Because I think he would've flipped out. I graduated third in a class of 120, so yeah, it's not like I didn't have the grades for it. (Actually I'm pretty sure my grades were the only reason he pulled me over.) And apparently, reading over my Livejournal, he wasn't actually happy with how lazy I was about college applications. It doesn't surprise me, really, as I have always been a bit lazy.
So after graduation, I ended up going to school for three semesters, and then became a dropout because I couldn't afford it. Fun times. I really hate not being in school, especially when I get on Facebook and see everyone else from my old college still going, let me tell you. :(
