* HardTruthAesop: As it says in Rigby's rejection letter, "college isn't for everyone". Sometimes, your friends will move on without you, and that's sad, but the best thing you can do is accept it. Holding them back won't help in the long run; Mordecai is (understandably) ''livid'' when he learns that Rigby cost him a chance to go to college and dooming him to work in a dead-end job so Mordecai didn't go off without his "best friend".
