Nabokov's Pnin, College, and Why You Can Never Go Home

[@tomeito4709]

Im 34 and I've been out of college for like 10 years already and I still really miss the atmosphere of learning from the deeply knowledgeable professors, from the talking around with some of my peers, when all that matered was literature, authors, mythology, train of thoughts, finding a new author on the library and sharing it with my mates. During my first years I found Nabokov's work and hes always been one of my "close to heart" reads. Reading him kind of brings me back to these days cause it reminds me of what I used to feel reading him when I was younger. One of the things I miss the most is spending time on the huge library going from book to book finding new stuff just by chance. I guess nowadays is the internet where I try to find that atmosphere of learning and knowledge. Pretty different, way lonelier and kind of bleak but keeps me somewhat sane. After all Professor KZbin decided to show me your video just like when in a hallway a professor would tell me to read some obscure author. Greetings from afar.

Hey there, at this point, I've been out of college for almost two years and it's weird, bc I still feel a lot of what I felt when I made this one, but it feels like making essays like this has helped me, just bc it's forced me to use those analytical parts of my mind that I used so much back then. I think I'm probably more articulate than I was then, too, just as a result. But I do miss those feelings in spite of that. I miss the atmosphere and the (good) professors, and all the rest, and I've even gone back and visited a few times, but it wasn't the same, which I kinda guess I already knew when I made this one. But thank you for your comment, greetings, and wish you the best
