The one thing to take away from this post is "Interesting things happen to interesting people." Therefore make yourself interesting. Most of the rest of it is extremely misleading. As with most career/life advice, its relevance depends on what you want to accomplish. The kind of broad "pursue a lot of different things" approach advocated here is great for some people, but it definitely can limit your opportunities. For instance, if you want to get into top PhD programs the professors reviewing your application will care that you had a triple major and took the hardest courses in your field. If you don't focus early, you'll miss that opportunity. The argument here is that college is too early a time to focus on one thing. Even though I didn't, I disagree that this is generally good advice. There are many ways to be interesting.
