1. "there are guys waiting to get into this building, man" is another example of a common theme in this strip- when a Patterson does something that seems to be impractical or selfish, there's a throwaway line to make it look altruistic. Sure, Michael is going to give up a paid-for room out of total selfishness and because a dorm room simply isn't Good Enough For Him Because He's Better, but it will benefit someone else so Where Are His Wings and Halo?
2. John is telling his daughter that he didn't really have fun all those years ago, and if he knew then what he knew now, he'd....what? Not go out with friends? Not drink? I'm not saying that overconsumption of alcohol is a good thing, but this is not an anti-drinking message. It's an Anti-Experience and Anti-Youth message. John's boomer lens forces him to twist his youth into something better left behind, a period of nonstop stupidity that fortunately ended so that he could be a Wise Older Man who has replaced parties and booze with a basement train set and coffee.

It's thinking like this that made 'sensible' people like Deanna congratulate the brainless, dickless twat for having the courage to tap out hard on making a decision that might make The Guys angry, destroy his credibility in the publishing industry and leave someone else to clean up his mess.
He's an 'adult' version of the surly incel whining in confusion and despair because a girl had enough of his weak BS. It's why "I don't have the patience, discipline and talent required to master playing a guitar" 'means' that Becky will die in the gutter.
Also, this boomer idiocy about hating being young informs Greg Evans's big old wad of thinly disguised contempt for children called Luann. The alleged mother feels actively ashamed of having been a child and it shows.
Also, let's remember that Weed is meant to represent Aaron as he was before he grew up and realized that the point of smoking pot is to run out of pot. Lynn of the beer and Cheetos diet seems not to have gotten the memo.
I'd like to know why Michael would give a damn if Weed wants to spend his entire college career at a bar. What would this have to do with Michael? If Weed is at a bar, he isn't drinking in the room. As long as he isn't bringing people back to the apartment to continue partying, what is the problem? WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE, MICHAEL?

Because Mike is an aimless idiot who imprinted on the first person who spoke to him at Orientation.

I'm concerned about the woman sitting behind them who doesn't seem to have any eyes.
