The student lifestyle/culture

[Louis VI the Fat]

Back when I was still a student all I saw were empty bottles, books, girls' rooms, and artsy intellectual types dragging me from museum to theatre to obscure arthouse movie. It was bliss.

Even back then I knew it couldn't last, but oh my...I miss it so! I was simply born to be a student. In my entire life, I have not excelled in anything as much as in being a student. You know...parties would start when I entered - if I hadn't organised them outright, I would be the last one to leave too, and I combined that with irritating the boring geek crowd by still getting better grades than them.

Why oh why is there not a profession of 'student'? I mean, grown up men, long after the age of eight, get paid millions to wear shorts and kick a football around. If being a student were a sport I would be Xavi or Iniesta.
