It's one of the reasons I come here to TFP.

Part of the reason I enjoyed university my first year wasn't because it was some higher realm of learning, it was just open to outside ideas; less structured. My first Philosophy paper I did was for the allegory of the cave, and I think I made reference to an episode of Saved by the Bell, and John Cusak, and The Lion King. I got the highest mark in the class. That doesn't happen much though.
