Default Back in the day

So I'm graduating from HS in less then 2 weeks and my friends and I want to do something crazy like a road trip or something..

I wanted to ask you guys what did you guys do after your graduation? Any hilarious stories? Interesting ones? Any Ideas of what we should go do??

Thought this would be an interesting topic to share.

The day after I graduated from high school, I went to work. I worked all summer and started college in September. For the next four years, I went to college, worked every Saturday and every summer.

When I graduated from college, two of my friends and I packed our belongings into a Volkwagon Beetle and spent the next month driving across the country. We started out in New York City, drove to California and back. We learned an awful lot in that month.

You might want to try it.

We didn't have a lot of money so we packed a tent and sleeping bags and camped out every night. In state and national parks when we could get a campsite and Kampgrounds of America (KOA) when the parks were full. I think that forced us to meet all kinds of different people from all walks of life. We'd sit around the campfires talking all night and we learned an awful lot. That, was one of the best things.

Also, just seeing the country, how big and diverse and great it is. We were three kids from Brooklyn. We thought we'd seen everything but the trip was a real eye opener.

I could write volumes about it, but it's really best to experience it for yourself. If you do something like this you won't be sorry.

My oldest son just graduated from Rutgers University, and he and two friends are leaving for a cross country trip on Friday. I think I'm as excited about it as he is. They're starting out from here in New Jersey, heading to California to pick up a friend whose attending Cal Poly, and heading home. They're camping out along the way. I'm sure he'll have as many stories to tell as I had.

You might want to wait to do this until you're out of college, but you should absolutely do this before your mid twenties. You'll learn an awful lot. It will open your eyes.

TRAVEL overseas if possible...maybe waiting until college graduation or 21

travel loses prejudice,brings on new culture and perspective.Life is good
