semi-hijack:

not that i don't doubt that the average person at your campus sucks, or whatever, but college is valuable in a variety of ways beyond "because it'll make you money."

amongst them is "because you meet interesting people who you'll know forever."

think about how stupid sponger looks or looked or whatever when he dropped out and then was still living in the area where all the students lived and hanging out with them.

pretty stupid.

c, who thinks that raptor should seriously consider taking a year or semester off and travelling. maybe playing some cards to pay some bills, but not crazy hours.
