When I was a hippie stoner sophmore year I told my college counciler something like that. He laughed so hard he cried, now in senior year I think very differently. You learn much more than you can currently appreciate in school, when youre older I think youll see how important it was.

Imagine your reunion when all your friends have meaningful jobs and influential positions while youve gone crazy from loneliness as a hermit. Theres more things to do in life than just live.
