in response to the question "what do you want from college?"

	There are three main categories of things that can be gained in a life experience.  We can gain materially, gain 
in our personality, and gain knowledge.  According to our goals we pick which we want more of.  I want nothing of the 
first except to aid my approach to the third.  The second will happen as it must over time, and I can't really guess what 
will be gained or lost there.  So what there is left to tell you about is the knowledge I want.
	  All knowledge that I might want is subsidiary to the main piece of knowledge I seek.  I am after the meaning 
of life.  All other concerns, including happiness, are second in importance to this goal.  I don't expect to suddenly pop up 
with the meaning of life in the middle of an essay for a college class, or discover proof that life is without meaning in the 
lab.  College is a step in my lifelong search for knowledge that will hopefully bring me closer to my goal.
