Just a little advice from someone who might be a few years older than some of you. You might still have a collection of things at mom and dad's house, Z-bots, Legos, maybe Star Wars stuff, you know all that old kids stuff. Next time you're visiting, get a sturdy box and pack it up. You might think it's just old junk, but a time will come when you will want to hold your past in your hands. You might have kids of your own, your parents may pass on, you might just need to do a "where am I?" check. Being able to have that old baseball glove or barbie doll sitting on your desk will connect you to the child you were, that you still might be inside. Most people actually do get old it seems. Hold on to some of your past. I can go to Ebay and find the things of my youth, but some of those old board games are $100 now. And if you're still in college, write down where to find those friends and acquaintences addresses, their parents and brother's and sisters names including middle names, some day you will wonder where Bill Welch is, and not be able to find him in the Texas City phone book.
