College turns you into a real person. It is where you acquire the interests that drive you for the rest of your life and where you meet the people that you will remember through it all. It gives you experiences to laugh about and experiences to cry about. It prepares you for real life.

But for some people it doesn't. Go to college somewhere far far away. You may think you are making yourself dead to the world... but weedle had to turn into a kakuna before it could be a beedrill.
