I've been going Graphic Design for 7 years now, I'm in my senior year of High School now just a few weeks from graduation. I'm planning on heading to College. What courses in College would you recommend taking? I read somewhere that I should of taken a drawing class in High School. Is that true? Because I suck at Drawing, I can barely draw a stick person. I know a lot about the design world too, like Web Design as well. Is there a course I should take that would cover both graphic and web design? I also self-taught myself on both subjects, I didn't take a class, read a book etc.. So not sure if that would make a difference.

I hope this is okay question to ask in this section!

Thanks :)
