I will be corny with you, because I prefer the same outlook. I have a co-worker who seems to think college was the peak of his life and there's something kind of sad about him because of it, even though he has a successful career, amazing wife, and two adorable kids. (Maybe it's more of a mid-life crisis thing, I dunno).

We sometimes have to go to the city where he went to college for business (it's our state capitol) and the campus is right there and he won't shut up about his college days when we're there and talks about how if he isn't careful, he'll regress to his college ways. When I didn't take him seriously, he insisted it would be the same way for me if we were on my old campus. No, it would not. First of all, my "college ways" were apparently very different, and secondly, I've been back there since and it wasn't like that.

College was an awesome time of my life, but it's done. Going to any college campus now, whether I went there or not, inspires that same kind of akward feeling you get visiting an elementary school and I'm always surprised the chairs aren't too small or the bathroom sinks aren't too low to the ground.

I feel sorry for your co-worker. Especially because he's so invested into thinking that because his own current life isn't satisfactory that he longs for his college days, everyone else must be in the same position. Me, I had fun in college and enjoyed it. But I'm not interested in going back because I like my life now even better.

Man, that sucks.

If there's something missing from his life now, he should try to figure out what it is and address it. Going back to college isn't a good answer, unless he actually wants another degree for something, in which case nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't sound like that's what it is for him.
