I read this quote from Junot Diaz at Bookslut : ...Any chance I get, I fucking talk about Rutgers. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, I will not lie. From the neighborhood I came from, I was literally intellectually starving. I was an incredibly bright kid outside of Perth Amboy, and going to Rutgers was sort of like someone who never had vitamin C their whole life. They're dying from fucking intellectual scurvy and rickets, and somebody gives them a fucking orange. It changed my life... You know, if you removed the name "Rutgers" and inserted "blogging", that would describe exactly how I feel. Blogging's this scurvy wench's orange.
