It was so much fun.. running around all day, no pressure, knowing the majority of the profs, staff, and students, hanging out with your friends all day, getting rides to class in the mail van when you weren't working, not to mention the constant running around kept my metabolism at an amazing level so I weighed next to nothing! I absolutely would work there again now, even now as a 33 year old that has been out of college for 11 years. One of my old bosses is still there.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
