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.

You grow up however, unfortunately, as the college years fly by, into a very exaggerated sense of your own capacities.

Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.

College inspired me to think differently. It's like no other time in your life.

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.

Colleges do not merely offer preparation for the future; they occupy four years of a student's life, and an institution should do what it can to make these years absorbing and enjoyable.

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 was just so essential for my sense of self and my development.
