text: is it weird that i've wanted to go to college since i was six? when i was six i told my parents i was going to college when i grew up. it's been my goal to get into a good university since then. is it weird that i thought about it so early? no. it's great that you were thinking about it so early. a lot of people just go to college because. . .it's just something to do, or because their parents tell them to. the people who are there because they want to be there are the ones who succeed.
