As long as we don't get turned into something that looks more like high school, more like everybody else and less like us, I'll be okay.

About This Quote

In high school, you know that you are special. You know that if you could somehow change it, you would be the one to do it. In college, you think that everyone else is special and that if they could change it, they would be the ones to do it. In the real world, you realize that everyone is different and that no one can change them. As long as we don't get turned into something that looks more like high school, more like everybody else and less like us, I'll be okay.
