Is it normal to start thinking about university in primary school?

Okay so obviously I'm not in primary school anymore, currently studying at a university, but this thing bugged me quite a bit when I was younger.

I was considered mature for my age, and about half way into my last year at primary school, I started thinking about what university/college etc. I wanted to study at and what subjects I wanted to do and so on. I have an older sister who was conveniently going to attend open days for tertiary education, so I tagged along and looked at their brochures and everything, but when I came back to school and tried to talk about it to my friends, they laughed and said I was being too serious and telling me it didn't really matter.

    Especially if you had an older sibling, it's totally normal, just like it's normal to think about weddings if you're a flower girl or junior bridesmaid, or about prom if you watch an older sibling go. I think it's great you were thinking about your future at such a young age.

    I think you have nothing to worry about. When I was in primary school I started thinking about what and where I want to learn. I'm worried about how students do all university tasks, especially how they write essays, articles, case studies, thesis, etc. But now, I'm a student and I don't care about it, because there are a lot of sites where people can post for any help. For example, I used trustessays.com and I'm completely satisfied with the result. And now I'm thinking about my future job. All the time we think about our future and plan what we will do the next day, week, month, even in primary school.

    I completely understand. I cared deeply about my education as a child, and was much more mature than all of the other children. Just ignore your poor, ignorant friends, they are merely children who do not share your obvious taste for refined intellect and knowledge.
