It is so frigging sweet to finally be able to start my real life, get a real job, and enroll in college for real. Even with bills and taxes it's still totally kick ass

Graduation for the win! :D
Congratulations on the awards and graduating, my cousin just graduated too! From my experience, "real life" didn't start till after college. Keep up the academic performance in college but remember, a lot of what you learn in college is outside of the class room, such as life lessons and character development. Getting off of my soap box, it was the best 5 years (6 if I was smart enough to fail a couple of classes ) of my life, enjoy.
