college is the culmination of your education

Dear colleges,

Thank you for the bundles of money thou hath sent me. It is very nice and my parents are pleased. I never supposed that anyone would give me $40,000 in one go, particularly anyone who has never met me in person and so has not been exposed to my killer wit and devilish charm.

Sometimes I think higher education is the sham of all shams and who wants to live for a career anyway? However, I am supposing that taking the money and then not going to school is a surefire way to get my ass kicked by the law. So I guess I'll go to college. I guess.

I wish I could be as excited as the rest of the kids at school about getting all these nice packages from you guys. But there must be something more ahead than careers. Why learn so much for so long just for a career? Things made more sense 1,000 years ago, or I'll eat my hat. I'm starting to think that everything but art is, in the end, useless. Art (in all forms) is the only thing that survives and can still speak to the future.

....

Oh well. Celebratory lolcat?

Thanks again, colleges. I'll be putting that money to good use. I promise.

Sincerely,
