The Final Final Exam
A SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION
David Newman and
Robert BentonThe things you really learn in college have very little to do with academic subjects. You learn to be on your own, how to cope with women,
how to grow up, how to stop making a fool of yourself and things like

are now going to college, have you found yourself? Or are you still looking? When old alums look back on college days with that sentimental

No, what one remembers fondly is college life: learning about girls, getting away from home and testing his wings, being exposed to brilliant
teachers for the first time, living with strangers who became friends.
