I think it's sort of an outrage that companies should have to hire firms to teach the college graduates they employ how to write.
I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.
I went to college at San Francisco State and supported myself working the graveyard shift at a brewery and did a little theater. It was great. I'd do Shakespeare and stuff like that.
Everything I learned about the Great Depression was from a college textbook.
I picked up my college copy of 'The Great Gatsby' in an attempt to recover from the movie and was interested to find out what I'd underlined. The answer was basically: everything.
One of the greatest joys in my life was giving a lecture in French at the College de France.
I had been a college teacher. I had taught Greek mythology.
Social networks matter greatly, and our class calibrations are often around what college one attended, leading to gruesome institutional divisions between those who attend, say, community colleges and those who attend top-tier universities.
In college, I prided myself on defense and guarding the best player every night.
What makes me unique is my ability to adapt to different situations and switch onto smaller guards and stay out there. Another component to being out there on the floor - and this is something that I learned as my college career went on - was staying on the floor, literally, comes down to not picking up fouls.
When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.
I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology.
My family was really big on college, and it was hard for them to stomach that I was going to be a hairdresser.
I graduated from CUNY College of Staten Island with a 3.9 GPA in three and a half years.
I went to school in Massachusetts at Hampshire College.
I read it in college as an assignment. I didn't think about it at the time. But when I heard there was a 'The Handmaid's Tale' pilot, I freaked out.
At college I had a Saturday job in a hardware store and I got #1. When I came to London in 1966 and lived in a bedsit, I got a temporary job as a salesman in a C&A store. I don't know what I earned: enough to pay the rent, I imagine. Then, in 1967'68, I worked as a postal clerk for #10 a week.
I didn't just work at a hardware store. I went to college for a second, and I worked there on breaks or during the summer.
A whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.
College is a refuge from hasty judgment.
