My uncle left me a trust fund to pay for college. I get my tuition, room and board, and a small allowance until I graduate. It's been six years, and I haven't graduated yet! I take my classes, play music, and get laid a lot.
There are some drawbacks: I have to live on-campus, I'm not allowed to own a car, and if my GPA ever dips below 3.5 I'm on my own. I've been an English Major and a Biology Major, and next year I think I'll study art history. I suppose I'll eventually get tired of the lifestyle, but for now I'm having a great time!
After I graduate, the money will go to my uncle's alma mater, where it will no doubt be spent on football scholarships and ROTC uniforms. I feel no guilt about depriving them of the cash for a few more years. It's not like it's going to run out.
