No but it would be hella profitable. The rest of life would be more fun with an unlimited source of funds.
I don't think it'd be worth it. Unless I could delete my memory.
Also, it's an almanac so you could only look at the results when you needed cash.
I'd probably just give myself a sports betting almanac. Until you asked that question I never fully appreciated Back to the Future 2.
Offtopic, but: When Marty goes into the future they should arrive in a future where he went missing (because he's traveling through time). Hence, the whole movie makes absolutely no sense at all.
Buy Google stock. Sell everything before Oct 2008. Profit. In college I would tell myself not to worry as much about grades, but to focus on a few projects of my own. Take more internships in different fields.

You like sports a hell of a lot more than I do if you would trade unlimited cash for the joy of watching games. Also, it's an almanac so you could only look at the results when you needed cash.
Practicing things many times over, matters more than doing them a couple of times; Be: aware of your surroundings and seize opportunity; irreverent to authority and the pompous; generous with your time; miserly with criticism; pain is temporary;

If you can't find people at college that care about what you care about, then you need to transfer right away. It doesn't get any better once you graduate.
This is absolutely the best and most important advice you'll get. I was in that situation, I transferred, and it ended up working out swimmingly. And yes, it doesn't get any easier to meet excellent people out in the real world.

Right now I'm looking at a transfer; at the same time, my co-founder and I are pushing to have a sellable product as quickly as possible. We're both freshmen who went to advanced programs in high school and are finding college to be a bit of a drag, so either way things will hopefully get better.
Are you sure that you want to go to college? I don't really advocate dropping out because a B.S. can be a good safety net in today's society. If you don't find college a rewarding experience, you should probably do something about it. College costs a lot of money and you need to maximize your investment.
I suppose you can slug it out at a place where you don't fit in and use the isolation as motivation to work on your own projects, but that doesn't sound like a good existence.
To me, it makes more sense to go to a place where you will find like-minded people. Being around people who share your interests will probably help you make a better company in the long run. At my school, I learned more through my peers than I ever did in class. A good peer group is essential to get the most out of college. Being exposed to the unique skills and views of others will provide necessary personal growth. College, after all, is much more than just going to class.
I think you should take some time to figure out what you really want to do.

Actually stocks might not be the way to go. I'd hand myself a sports almanac and start betting. As long as Biff doesn't get his hands on it.
Don't worry about trying to impress people. Just work hard on things you like. Don't get into debt.
