I have been having a great deal of fun helping my cousin with his college application essays this week. It does bring back some memories! I was on the admissions committee for two years for my own major, Plan II Honors at the University of Texas at Austin, and it was fun to read all those essays from hopeful students, knowing I was secure and had already gotten what they wanted. I usually had the same feeling when interviewing candidates for positions we had open when I worked at Applied Materials and then at Dell. It’s really nice to be on the interviewing side of the table.
Anyway, I just finished discussing what to look for in a college with Matthew, and now that I know so well what I’d want, can I go back to college? Live in a dorm and have someone else cook all my meals for me? Stay up late and have nothing to do but be in class 3 hours a day? Please?
