I wish I had a blog when I was in college

As you can tell, I went to college before the 1990's. I went to college at a time when people were using WordStar, WordPerfect, and Lotus 1-2-3. The Internet existed, of course, but only for governmental use. I would drive my roommate crazy in college, because I was very philosophical and I enjoyed chatting about different things. I would have probably posted them in a blog, if they had been available. I enjoyed college, but studied the wrong major. I finally saw the light and switched gears in 1996, when I went back to school. Can you guess who I am? Further clues to follow...
