...Admit it. You heard "Semi-Charmed Life" so many times that you memorized all the words, and you still didn't "want something else."

"Graduate," "Narcolepsy," "I Want You"--for me, they were the songs that made my senior summer; for my brother, they were the hits of eighth grade; for everyone, they formed the soundtrack to a small part of our lives.

It doesn't have to be long, just enough to admit the truth: Liberal-arts colleges, you win. You possess the nation's most innovative minds, the most intellectual student body.
