I barely remember any of the lectures or exams, what stands out are the lifelong friendships and experiences I had in and out of campus. The 'dumb fun' turned out to be not so dumb after all and served me valuable lessons for the future. Most parents (and today's students) focus on the academics part, but to me, that's pretty irrelevant as once you learn how to learn, then you can practically achieve anything you want to do. With college, you gain a little bit of experience in the real world, and allows you to experiment with a lot of stuff without a lot of the real world consequences that you have to deal with more in adulthood.
