Gotta agree with Tshabet on this. (And I'm a year younger than he, so I have a leg to stand on, too.)

Right now you think you'll be BFF with your high school buds and that you'll marry your current girlfriend. Ain't gonna happen. (Most likely.)

Don't stay close to home, but don't go too far either. 3-8 hour drive is about right. The travel is wearing, and if you have to fly, it's tough if there's no airport real close and you don't have many friends there to pick you up.

Oh yeah-- wear sunblock, and remember that no matter what a stripper tells you, there's no sex in the champagne room.
