An interesting read which demonstrated that you indeed have the ‘bug’ to succeed.
Your 4) Whilst there are some individuals who are quite mature aged 18, this is generally not the case.
Going into higher education prior to flying is all part of becoming a more rounded individual, and is probably not to be discouraged.
After all even with a degree, you have 40+ years of potential flying ahead.
Your 6) Time keeping is a critical aspect of professional flying. A small measure of OCD probably helps? Arriving in the crew room a minute before Report Time will not endear you to your Captain for the day. Word will spread.
Generally speaking arriving before the Captain gives the impression of being keen & eager. Apply common sense to this issue.
As for flight school, if you are not (at least) five minutes early,
YOU ARE LATE.
I shall refrain from making comment about ...”and chase girls”...
as this comes under the heading of ‘shark infested custard’.
