On the fence need some advice

[kalbo]

You have the head and face that can carry the bald look really well. Don't worry, the initial shock will wear off faster than you think.

[Catch_22]

Just get a cheap pair of clippers and cut your hair without a guard.

Welcome!

Just like Nike Say'; "Just Do It!" - Shave that head, bro. You will suit it very well.

Shave it all off and if you don't like it after a couple weeks let it grow...it'll be back to buzz length in a few days...nothing to loose but your insecurities, right?

 Exactly.... just like Nike's motto and stay committed for 30 days.
If you dont like it let grow back. No Big Deal
 Have fun with shocking people too
Love Yourself and keep you pride high!
 I found most people liked my head.
For So Many Years I thought hair was Everything.....
 To my surprise, the only change in my social life was the ability to look people in the eye with a confidence I never knew.

Perfect timing...starting college.  Very few people know you and you have the opportuniity to project a new image.
Instead of being another of the prematurely balding guys just be the bald guy.   I say go for it!

Get the jump on nature. Shave it bald before it becomes bald itself.

Young men with bald heads look confident.

I think that you should give it a try. You hair is short enough now anyway it would grow back quickly. Just make a quick trip to the barber or better yet just do it yourself. We will all be watching for your after pictures : )
