Upon graduating high school, Cole decided that his chances of securing a recording contract would be heightened in New York City,
relocating to the city whilst accepting a scholarship to St. John's University in the process.
Initially majoring in computer science, Cole later switched to communication and business after witnessing the life of a lonely computer science professor, changing in order to not end up like the professor.
He would later graduate magna cum laude in 2007, with a 3.8 GPA. Despite graduating, Cole would officially receive his diploma during a homecoming concert in 2015.

I picked the song because it tell a background of j.cole life it plays a part in this fact. the one part that stuck out the most was when his friend was actually looking up to Cole going of and graduating while the friend was off selling drugs. J.cole was looking up to the friend while the friend was actually looking up to Him. That's amazing how life can make things happen that you never would believe would happen 💖
