If I was still in college, I would be completing my eleventh year of school. Maybe I would have about 234 credits and no degree to my name yet. Well, that’s exactly what the guy in this article has done. The part that I find the most impressive is that after eleven years, he only has $30,000 in loans, and his parents only chipped in the first two years.
This really puts the whole thing into perspective: “Sophomore Jenny Zinda, 20, hangs out with Lechner and said she doesn't think of him as old. Zinda was in fourth grade when Lechner was a college freshman.”
Maybe he’s just lazy, but I’m pretty sure the reason he’s still there boils down to this quote from the article: "Some girls say it's weird that he's still here, but the bottom line is they all want him," Zinda said. "Everyone knows him and there's a certain excitability about being friends with and dating Johnny Lechner." So apparently, being an eleventh year senior gives you rock star status. Personally, I don’t understand that. I guess there are lots of people who go to school for eleven years, but we usually call them doctors.
Hey Johnny VanWilder, it’s time to move on with your life.
