Off to Join the World is the debut album of American country music artist Blaine Larsen. It was initially released in 2004 under the title In My High School on the independent Giantslayer Records label; its lead-off single, "In My High School", peaked at number 60 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 2004.

Later in 2004, Larsen was signed to BNA Records, and the album was re-issued under its title Off to Join the World. One new song, "That's All I've Got to Say About That", was added to the track listing, and "How Do You Get That Lonely" was issued as its second single. This song became the highest-charting song of Larsen's career, reaching number 18 on the country charts and number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. Finally, in mid-2005, "The Best Man" was released as the third single, peaking at number 36 on the country charts.
