Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there.
_____17_____. It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go. ◆Because all your friends are going.

Some would take it as a betrayal of the dreams you’ve dreamed together and the plans you’ve made. ◆_____19_____
It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest of reasons to spend $20,000 or more in the next year. ◆Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education. _____20_____ So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.
A That’s much too fine.
B Not to go would be set yourself apart. C Because you don’t know what eles to do. D Everyone seems more excited than you are.
E It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you’ll go.
