How Do You Decide to Be a Stand Up Comic?

I knew nothing when i was 17. Your brain isn't fully formed until you're out of college, right? I feel that college should happen when you're like, 30 to 35,. And you're actually interested in ... improving yourself... Whereas yet i felt forced. It felt like an extension of high school. All i wanted to do is cut clas and be on my own. Like, just hedonistic insanity.
