So I'm a little on the younger side... I turn 18 in 2026 and have already graduated high school. What should I expect? Is it any different from being 17, especially with my experiences and being a year ahead of my other 17-year-old peers? I was in my senior year when they were juniors.

Nothing changes, like others have been saying, except for legal stuff and independence. If you go to college, you can get a well-paying job and not end up like me.

What you mean by not end up like you? What's wrong with you ?

My bad, it's a reference to my profile picture character who has 38 jobs.
