What if I was still in college?

If I was still in college, I would be completing my eleventh year of school.  Maybe I would have about 234 credits and no degree to my name yet.  Well, that’s exactly what the guy in this article has done.  The part that I find the most impressive is that after eleven years, he only has $30,000 in loans, and his parents only chipped in the first two years. 

This really puts the whole thing into perspective:   “Sophomore Jenny Zinda, 20, hangs out with Lechner and said she doesn't think of him as old. Zinda was in fourth grade when Lechner was a college freshman.” 

Maybe he’s just lazy, but I’m pretty sure the reason he’s still there boils down to this quote from the article:  "Some girls say it's weird that he's still here, but the bottom line is they all want him," Zinda said. "Everyone knows him and there's a certain excitability about being friends with and dating Johnny Lechner."  So apparently, being an eleventh year senior gives you rock star status.  Personally, I don’t understand that.  I guess there are lots of people who go to school for eleven years, but we usually call them doctors. 

Hey Johnny VanWilder, it’s time to move on with your life.
