Real life trumps Valve.

Enjoy your time before college, it is a sweet time, full of excitement, new things, and hot chicks (at least mine was.) One thing I suggest: Make absolutely sure you keep your important friends contacted, and engaged. You will need them in the future.  Enjoy your first year, and do not pull a WG (get drunk and high, way too often, flunk out of school, social life, and community life.)

A suggestion: Please reconsider law school.  There are more grads than positions available, and this has been true since I graduated in 2003. (Post 9/11 has been awful.  The majority of the office space in the Towers were law firms.)  The Universities and Colleges out there have figured out how much of a Cash Cow Law Schools are.  So they are opening them at an increased rate, adding to the newly minted, and newly unemployed, mass of Law Grads.
Guess how 1st thru 4th year (post graduation) Lawyers were used? Legal Research.  Guess what happened to Legal Research? Yup, just like other high cost jobs, Legal Research has been sent overseas, to be done by pennies by the hour workers in South/ Central Asia.  The research is done there, then sent to a U.S. Attorney licensed in the jurisdiction where the request for the research was generated. The Attorney reviews, then signs off on the research (makes it more "usable" for Court, and other proceedings) and sends it to the requesting Law Firm.  Costs pennies on the hundreds of dollars, compared to hiring an actual Attorney.
In addition, Law Firms have realized Paralegals can do 80%+ of what an Attorney can. So, they hire 1 Attorney and 4 Paralegals.  Get the same amount of workload (with the same amount of billable hours) as 5 Attys.  A Paralegal is $35k a year.  A 0-1 year experienced Attorney is $50k, a 5 year experienced Attorney is $80-120k.  Do the math.
Further, law changes, such as changing Workers Compensation from something which can be sued over, to an Administrative Law only action, has removed positions. (This is what happened in Tennessee, when I just got out of Law School.  Overnight, approximately 40% of the legal business went away.) And monetary limitations on malpractice ($250k) and other events have removed the need for Attorneys. (Just think, you lose your sight, or hearing, or penis, and you get $250k.  That is it. No more, ever. This $250k must cover all your expenses, medical, and probably living expenses, for the rest of your life.  Brilliant.)
So, honestly, if you are blood related, and can inherit a good practice, with good clients, fine. Otherwise, you may want to do something else.  I have, also, found it near impossible to go into other job/career fields (HR and businesses look at you as a lawsuit risk...)

One more thing: NEVER, ON POINT OF DEATH, get School Loans.  You cannot get out from under them, unless you die.  I couldnt, even though I had Cancer, which also blew my chances, of ever being hired, out of the water.  And they have the right to consolidate, charge additional fees, and increase interest rates, even when you are paying on time... Thanks, Republicans.

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]

Things are a little bit different in Canada, I wouldn't say they're better overall but you know, 'free' healthcare and stuff. Anyways it was great having you Storm and it's sad to see you go but maybe someday you'll be able to come back, who knows. See you on the far side.
