Bill Simmons (aka The Sports Guy) writes for ESPN, and in his mailbag this week, he introduced the ‘levels of broke.’ Level 18 described how college is like the island:

Level 18: “College Kid Broke”
The best kind of broke, because you’re sharing the experience with your peers, and somehow it always seems to work out. You can go out with $15 and somehow end up having 15 drinks, two shots and splitting a pizza at 3 in the morning, then you wake up the next day and you have $12 in your wallet. Huh? College is like the island in “Lost” — things happen that can’t be explained, there are different tribes of people with whom you uneasily co-exist, you’re living in close quarters with a bunch of people that eventually drive you crazy, you can’t find a good toilet, you don’t appreciate being there until you’re gone (then you want to go back), and there might even be some time-traveling.
