'to college I went' vs. 'I went to college'
My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory of music, and to college I went - quite happily, as I remember, for although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing, I had many other interests.
If I say '..., and I went to college - quite happily...', is there any difference from the emotion of the original sentence?

What's the difference between 'would like to do' and would like to be doing'?
#1 You should think about what you would like to be doing 10 to 15 years from now.
#2 You should think about what you would like to do 10 to 15 years from now.
Does the first sentence mean you should think about the job you will be doing 10 to 15 years from now?
Does the second sentence mean you should think about the job you want to do 10 to 15 years from now?

Could you please rewrite this sentence?
The further off this solid obstruction, the longer time will elapse for the return of the echo.
1. Does this sentence mean 'if the source of voice is further off a solid obstruction, the return of the echo will elapse longer?
2. Could I say 'The further it is off this solid obstruction, the longer time the return of the echo will elapse?
3. Why does the original sentence ommit something without following the more it is/does..., the more it is/does...structure?This is the context: Everyone knows that if he shouts in the vicinity of a wall or a mountainside, an echo will come back. The further off this solid obstruction, the longer time will elapse for the return of the echo. :)
