Adding to what Julian said, I believe that the editorial misrepresented the importance of the "social" component to college. Don't get me wrong, it's extremely important to have a network of friends, people you can trust, people you can hang out and decompress with. But what defines social success? It's not about whether you're popular or not. It's not about that at all, and I would have hoped that uni students especially would have learned that by now. Someone may "waddle down the hallways squawking like a chicken," but are you really trying assert that no one else at college will be at least that weird? Look around you close enough and you will find something weird, quirky, or even repulsive about everyone.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to thinkthey can change the world, are the ones who do.
