Line 30:
At either Buxton or at school before then, he asked a girl out to a school dance and she rejected him for "Mr Campus Hot Stuff". In attempt to "show her", he went on his own; the very concept of school dances sets him off. ("[[Daria Dance Party]]")
Afterwards, Jake enrolled at [[Middleton College]] thanks to funding from his family, thus not being shipped off to the [[Vietnam War]] ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") - though he once claimed to a veteran that he wasn't drafted because the "war was winding down" ("[[My Night at Daria's]]"). Around the time of the funding, Jake had been threatening to 'drop out' and be a hippie as soon as his father couldn't legally stop him; this is probably why Mad Dog sent him to college, mistakenly thinking that'd stop him (Jake promised to "really... hit the books" there). ("Diaries")
At college, he joined the hippie counter-culture and met his future wife [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] there; the counter-culture was a calming influence to the seething cauldron of repressed rage and hatred for the world around him and for his father, and he became an extremely cheery optimist with a firm belief in the counter-culture's ideals and rejecting the modern world. He also attended [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert Altamont Free Concert] and somehow ''got his money back'' despite Altamont being free ("[[Road Worrier]]").
