[quote=Anonymous]I have never understood this, but I also don't get being really into where you went to college. I love where I'm from and have fond memories of college, but I don't find either of these things defining aspects of my personality. And I guess that's my read -- people who get really into their state/city of origin or their alma mater are using it as a proxy for developing actual interests or personality traits. It's just easier to decide early on "I'm a Texan! I love hot sauce and big hats! This is my identity!" than to spend some time figuring out who you really are underneath. And I say that as a Texan (and UT grad who loves both hot sauce and solid cowboy hat. It's just those things don't define who I am.[/quote]
