Definition of College: Noun. 1. College is what adults call
“IMPORTANT,” a word always displayed in large, red, pulsating capital
letters in their mind’s eye. That’s the reason why, at nearly every
family function you’ve attended since you’ve been in high school, the
topic of college has come up. 2. College is the end all, be all of not

since the day you were thrust out of your mother’s pelvis. 3. College
is a status symbol, and battling your way into college is, without a
doubt, a war with an outcome that will strengthen or ruin your life
forever.
