Figuring out where I want to go with my life

[mcozzy1]

Don't worry about finding a direction yet. Go to college for a couple of years and keep playing poker. See what classes you like and what classes you don't. If you really like a subject you'll probably meet a few friends in those classes.

What's the financial situation for college? If you're going on your parents dime, then you'll have tons of free time and college will be a blast. If you've got to play poker to pay bills, that could be a bit of drag with classes and everything; but if you like games, it's probably no big deal.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself until maybe halfway through your sophmore year of college. You'll be a different person then.

You'll find people in college who are as introverted as you, you can get together and play some video games or something.
