No one understands college (and life in general) than comedian John Mulaney. He is best known for his work as a writer on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and his stand-up comic specials (‘New in Town’ and ‘The Comeback Kid’ both on Netflix). If you have not seen this man in action, you are missing out. One of his skits literally describes college when he says “Your opinion doesn’t matter in elementary school either. It matters in college. College is just your opinion. Just raising your hand and being like, ‘I think Emily Dickinson’s a lesbian.’ And they’re like ‘partial credit.’ And that’s the whole thing.” But Mulaney describes college much more than he thinks he does--he really speaks to the souls of college students everywhere.
