For me, college wasn't a breeze. I had 8 o'clock classes, I worked from 3 to 11 at the Settlement House. On weekends, if Northwestern Bell needed me, I'd troubleshoot for them, and I had a steady girl. God!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After high school, I enrolled at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, but I stayed only a year and a half. I felt college was a waste of time; I wanted to start working.
College was just so essential for my sense of self and my development.
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
College had little effect on me. I'd have been the same writer if I'd gone to MIT, except I'd have flunked out sooner.
I found college useful for a lot of other reasons. It exposed me to a great many influences I wouldn't otherwise have encountered, and gave me a lot of time with some very intelligent people whose thoughts are still with me.
Luckily, I was blessed to go to Stanford and a school that was primarily focused on academics, so it was a blessing.
I could have probably been just as successful by not going to college, but it was the most intellectually stimulating environment that I was ever in.
I was really into '24' at university, and it resulted in a lot of lost hours that could have been spent at the library. If you could have told me then I would be in it one day, I'd have hit the roof.
I miss the simplicity of college, with specific due dates, a consistent schedule, and a solid routine.
College was a great time. I partied there, but I also learned how to act.
