college or nah?

       After 3 long years of high school, we're finally here. The last year. Now that it's finally the last year, college application season is already in full swing. It's almost the time that everyone's been waiting for. The time to leave beloved Delaware. Sometimes we get caught up in the motions and we forget what the real purpose is. College is a time to leave boundaries. College is a chance to gain knowledge to change the world. College can also be a fresh start for some people. Despite all these great things that college can bring, there are countless stories of people who've become successful without going to college at all. In most households, it's kinda an expectation to go to college. It's a societal expectation to go to college and to get a degree. Most people believe that if you don't get a college degree, you can't contribute to the world. But I think that's wrong. Society just hasn't grasped the idea that college is not for everyone. For a while, I thought about not going to college. Maybe I would be the next great YouTuber or maybe the next Mark Zuckerberg. Just kidding that's most likely never gonna happen but some people just aren't fit for college. Some people just don't like the idea of being stuck in the strict education system for another four years. So I guess the point of this is that college surely isn't for everyone. Some people were just destined to be great without a degree. Whether you go to college or not, you're taking big risks in life. Whichever one you decide to choose can change the course of your life in a positive or negative way.
