The life of a God, forever bliss, complete happiness: Odysseus slights all of these things in order for him to return to his loving wife and son.

In particular, the college experience has become accepted as the “wild times” of one’s life. Certain activities ordinarily shunned are now perceived as a learning experience when involving a college student. Drugs and alcohol abuse are commonplace around
