College Education

As students head back to college I feel it is appropriate to relay this message.

"You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..." – Tom Petty

Mr. Petty may be a little over-the-top dramatic, but it's mostly valid. GPA's are over-rated, but credit debt, arrests, and STD's aren't. So have fun, but be careful.
