College is essentially a time of growth, of change

"College is essentially a time of growth, of change. The major part of that change takes place in you. If the college you go to is any good, it will hit you like a ton of brings.  It will lead you to question every conclusion you have ever reached; it will lead you to deny lots of assumptions and remake them; it will refuse to answer many of your questions, because you are asking the wrong things.  It will shake your strong beliefs and blow tons of cold air into all your warm hideouts; it will laugh at your emotions and cry at your humor.  It will be a though and cruel place only because it cares for you but seldom bothers to show it.  It will torture you into the best you think you can do and, by mocking the results, make you do better.  For perhaps the only times in your lives, you will know, existentially, that life of the is soul-zided. You will stretched till you squawk.  And if you are not -- transfer."  By Father Timothy Healy
