I'll drown the urge for permanence and certainty;

I really love living here!

Today's random thought: College.

Apparently, college is supposed to be the best 4 years of your life. It's the 4 years where you "find yourself", by way of hugging the porcelain God each night, puking up SoCo and grenadine after eating a vat of chili fries at your college's local hotspot. It's the time where you "let yourself go", by sleeping with the entire SigmaThetaUnoDos fraternity, catching syphilis and blaming it on your best friend, because you had nothing else better to do for 5 hours while she was studying in her room, and happened to forget to take the sock off the door. College is summer's at mom and dad's beach house in Cape Cod, and Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa, catching up with old friends, and working the 4 hour a day part-time job at your local grocer's freezer - that no matter how many unlicensed illegal immigrants pile into their 1967 Toyota to come and work the graveyard shift, ensuring the stock of toilet paper and enema kits never gets too low, somehow, there is always a spot waiting with your name on it when you come back.

In reality, college is a giant waste of time. That's why I didn't go. I have a ton of friends who went to college, who graduated, and are now no better off than they were before they started. Let's waste 4 years, as well as thousands of dollars to get a cream colored piece of paper in a frame that says "I win at life because I got an "A" in Anthropology." Do you want a fucking medal? Let's see you find a job in that field. You're going to be working a 9-5, barely above the poverty level job, just like the rest of us.

Unless you want to strive to be the world's next McSteamy, or Johnnie Cochran, you're just wasting your time.
