the difference between a graduate student and an undergraduate

A graduate student will bike through a sea of maroon-clad fans, past the stadium on her way to the library, toting her laptop, wearing her TCU sweatshirt, looking oblivious to the fact that a football game is to commence in 45 minutes.

Few undergraduate students will ever know the joys of flaunting their complete disregard for decades-held traditions in the pursuit of academic success.

Today, I'm not even a "two-percenter," I'm a negative two-percenter, if that even makes sense in whatever the definition of a "two-percenter" is.

Um... I'm pretty sure you did that when you were an undergrad. Direct quote: "I think I'm going to study instead of going to the game. My dorm is so close to the stadium that I'll hear if anything happens."

Haha, true, and I can also say that of where I currently live, "My house is so close to the stadium that I'll hear if anything happens."

. . . but, did I ever march through crowds of purple fans wearing the sweatshirt of another college team when I was an undergrad?

I love this.I'm going to my alma mater, but I feel the same way.
I've been missing you lately. I'm glad to know we are both doing the "giving up life for education" thing at the same time.
