Sometimes I wish I went to a big college.  I wish I could've gone to Big 10 football games and tailgate parties.  I wish I could say the name of my school and have 90% of the population of the country know exactly what I'm talking about.  I wish I could name famous people that graduated from my school.  I wish I lived in a town who's population consisted of the students going to the local school.  A town named Collegeville or College Park.  I wish I went to school where it was warm.  Why didn't I do that? 

I wish I went to school in Texas, where schools like the University of Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech are synonymous with winning and rivalries.  Or I wish I went to school in Florida, where schools like Florida State, the University of Miami, and the University of Florida have football teams consistently ranked in the top 25 in the nation, and usually in the top 10.  The bottom line is that I wish I went to a football school.  Apparently, this wasn't very important to me when I was in high school.  Academics!  Grades!  Forget that.  Football is more important.

But then, other times, I'm glad I went to a tiny school.  The students had a considerable amount of power and influence.  The professors (some of them) knew their students (some of them).  I wasn't in competition with a million people.  The school sponsored events with free food.  The school organized dances/proms like high school.  And of course, school is where I met Wendy.
