One thing about college and life in general is that you must connect with people on their interests rather than your interests.

That is probably the single best skill you can easily get and requires no studying, just practice and interest in other people.

If you go back to the Steve Job's video from the Stanford graduation, he talks about connecting the dots and sitting in on classes. In my many ways talking to random people about random things will allow you to connect more dots later.

I loved college, both times I went and while the price and debt sucks, it was well worth it for me.
