Instead of treating college as “no speed limit” treat it as “no bandwidth limit”.
If for example, you have been programming since you were 5, but you still are required to take an intro to CS course, instead of griping and pushing to skip it, just take advantage of the freed up brain bandwidth and maybe go take a class on history, or art or philosophy.
Taking advantage of the college environment to broaden your knowledge will serve you far more than graduating one or two years early.

An entire browser extension to collect the entire question bank and then statistically figure out all the answers (because often I only had the final score).
