There is a truth to the conceit we develop in college that the "real world" somehow exists outside our current circumstances. The confined, secluded space of higher learning, enables us, ever so briefly, to embark on flights of fancy without the very real repurcussions that await out there, in the real world. One manifestation of this temporary cessation of consequences, is what is commonly referred to as "lesbian until graduation" (L.U.G.). The brash, bright hetero girl plunges into the netherworld of girl-girl romance, only to emerge years later, diploma in hand, straight as a ruler for the remainder of her days.
