Technically, we go to college to gain knowledge and prepare ourselves for future endeavors (employment, business, etc). But college isn't just about "theoretical and academic stuff".. In this stage of our lives, we also get to learn things from friends, relationships, and experiences that could teach us life's lessons that we won't find in textbooks or classrooms. After graduation, I was able to get a good job (in a good company) and those friends and relationships from college--they're the ones that I will forever treasure. =)
