Accepted
July 26th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in QuotationsThe smarmy guy from the Apple commercials is in a movie called Accepted. I really just clicked on the trailer because I wanted to see if this guy would be the same jerk as the “Apple” in the commercials. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by a witty and intelligent movie about the state of our colleges in the United States.
It’s rare when I can get a good quote from a movie. Most movies are written so it’s nearly impossible to get a quote that stands alone. I was able to get an amazing quote from just the trailer.
The truth of the matter is I learned more on my own than I ever learned from college. Every time I get mailers from my alma mater, I want to burn them. They want me to donate to the scholarship fund. The same scholarship I received to attend. I really feel like I SHOULD donate, but I feel so ripped off by my college experience that I fantasize about setting each of those flyers on fire in a blaze.
Instead, I put them in the recycling bin and attend to my own learning. It looks like this movie could be the best sequel to Animal House that has been conceived.

I can’t help but agree that I’ve learned more from my life’s experienes than I ever learned in school. I found out in school how much information the world has to offer that is absolutely useless in my daily life.
