I didn't give more than a glancing thought as to what to put on my cap. I pondered for a few minutes, but in the end I just had too much shit to do. And for someone like me, who's been seeking similarities between herself and other people rather than differences her entire life, maybe it was just easier for that one part of myself to be anonymous for that day.

And I think buried in that idea is the key to achieving those dreams college forces us to set up for ourselves. Make them goals, not dreams, first of all, and find a way to reasonably do it. Then, if at all possible, do it. Don't take the easier or more convenient way out. Fight a little harder to express your dreams in the tiny spaces we're allotted in life, which is a great big ceremony devoted to making everyone just like everyone else.

As to the only subject that matters to you, I wish I had sage advice or comforting words. I wish I could help you. My fervent wish is that you don't let what he felt he had to do color your future experiences too darkly.
