As an aside, I read this story years ago when it was posted on slashdot.org. I read some of Patrick Combs other articles and eventually bought his book Major in Success. The book is a "life how-to guide" for undergraduates. It had a big influence in how I approached my time in college and I feel it helped me get the most out of it. I now buy the book for anyone I know who is about to head that way. Highly recommended.
