Kids these days seem to be doing everything but studying: starting up tech companies, leading assorted extracurriculars and, of course, protesting on the lawn. This may sound like a classic “back in my day” spiel from an out-of-touch old man, but it’s actually my firsthand experience. I recently graduated from Harvard University, and was struck by how little time my peers and I spent hitting the books to earn our diplomas.
College students study enough. What they need is more social life.
