Father's Philosophy Class

A good boy is off to a bad start in college, where he can't get to know anyone - he worries this is all going to turn out like high school did. He has changed his nickname since then to his more adult name, but he never remembers to use it; it just isn't him. One day in philosophy class, a boy that arrives late apparently has to take the first open chair, which is the one next to Kippie.
