Also from the interview: "There are some people who are still playing beer pong in their late 20s. Do not do that." (Image by Gaelen Hadlett.)
Zach Galifianakis came oh-so-close to graduating from NC State but never quite made it. He sat for an interview with his old school and recalled the good times he had there. (Thanks Newmark’s Door.) An excerpt:
“Q: What are your best memories about NC State?
Zach Galifianakis: I think one of my only A’s was in Anthropology. I think it was an ‘A’ – nevertheless, I so enjoyed that class. It opened my way of thinking to be sure. I also took a design course that kind of blew my mind and gave me a different perspective on how the eye and mind work together. Socially, I worked a lot. I worked at Amedeo’s Pizza and also Two Guys. That was my socialization. I never joined any clubs or organizations at State – I was a bit of a loner – but those were some very fond memories.”
