Making a counter which scoud count up to 10 and loop back just with soma cables and electricity.

That all the shit I was told about making 60k out of college and doubling it in 4 years, how I would need college to get a cushy desk job, how without college I would never afford a house or a car, that my loans would be paid off in 10 years or forgiven in 20... All of that was a fucking lie.

Colleges will happily take 80 grand from teenagers and give them absolutely nothing for it.

That although there are many wonderful professors, the average professor does not know their ass from a hole in the ground.

That when actually challenged I couldn't justify eating meat. It was just a part of a long conversation with another meat eating woman in completely unrelated majors.

Honestly that sort of thing is one of the most valuable parts of college imo. I was in a place dedicated to learning and thinking, surrounded by people also dedicated to it and it meant that I had a lot of deep intellectual conversations. Those years didn't just give me a career, they molded me into someone genuinely educated
