True happiness can only be realized through absolute freedom.
Freedom can only be achieved in death.

And what do you want to do if you don't go? I'm just curious.

Allow me to exaggerate, a memory or two

I am sure you might change your mind once your senior year arrives. Many students go through the phase of not sure if they will go to College or not once they graduate, and then when the time comes they find themselves changing their mind and applying. I mean, if you are straight A and top of the class, why waste your time not going? It makes no sense for a smart person like you to not go to College and all, ecpesially if you are top of the class, you can do so much etc...  
  Anyway, just tell your parents straight out that you are not interested in College, and it's a choice you are making and they can either accept it, or not. Most likely they are going to get upset and try to talk you into considering going, it's normal for parents to do that. But you have to be serious and let them know it's something you've already decided.q

Have fun getting a good job.

where in jersey? and you don't need to start a conversation, just say, do i need to go to college? or wait until they tell you to start thinking about college

I've gotten boat loads of letters already from them, so its always on our minds basically.  They currently think I plan on being a chemical engineer, leaning towards vt.

"...getting a good job"
Thats the point, i don't want a job.  Ever.  I will take my car and go where i please.  Possibly try getting to europe and hitchhiking around there.  I do not plan on being a little robot who is never truly happy untill i turn 60.  I want freedom in the absolute, what everyone should have
