I managed in 6 years, if I include the associate’s degree I got to fix the 2.5 wasted years. And I think going as to undergrad at 18 should be seen as precocious. Backpack around a bit and learn who you are as an independent adult.

Or you might discover you have a lot of unresolved trauma and fall into depressive states easily in the middle of a semester.

Probably not just a “me” thing.
