College ain't so much where you been as how you talk when you get back.

When you're in college, you really don't know where you're going to end up, but you know who you want to be along that journey.

Education is an incredibly personal issue for me. If you're the first generation to go to college, sometimes you don't realize your potential until others point it out.

When I was a kid, and it was time to go to college, I thought, 'College is for people who don't have the street smarts to make it on their own - get in a band, get in a van, and get rockin'.

When you're in college, everything seems much more important than it really is.

People like me who grew up in a working-class town, who don't have a college education, you don't usually hear from us.

For whatever reason, college was just not a huge focus for me. I wasn't planning ahead. I just didn't think about it too much.

College isn't in everyone's hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn't mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

I had, before I went to college, I had taken a few years off after high school and really had, I guess in those days, I had no intentions of going to college.

It's just become such a business, getting into college. I see that a lot in my friends, their parents were so on top of them about getting into an Ivy League school since they were so young, they were just drilled and drilled and drilled, to the point that they just don't know why they want to go.
