For me, college felt like four years of complete freedom. I only worked part-time to keep myself in beer and music (grants/scholarships/loans paid for tuition and board), and I felt like all my classroom time and studying was exposure to a great big world I'd had no clue about before. I soaked it all in. And then outside the classroom there were movies, plays, bands, records, girls, entire summers off with no classes and 20 hours a week working.

Since I was basically unaccountable to anyone but myself, I tried on different ideas of who I was, thought a lot about who I was and what I wanted to become.

I've never had so much free time or more enjoyed what I was doing.

Like I said, the best 4 years of my life, without a doubt.
