Interesting facts and trivia about Going Away To College - Live/1999. By Songfacts®.

Bassist Mark Hoppus wrote this song on Valentine's Day after watching the movie Can't Hardly Wait. He said it's about a guy coming back home and wondering if his old girlfriend will remember him.

Can't Hardly Wait is a teen romantic comedy that came out in 1998, a year after the band's Dude Ranch album dropped. The single "Dammit" was featured in the movie in a scene where police show up to break up a house party.

Hoppus was the only member of blink-182 to attend college, briefly studying at California State University, San Marcos, in hopes of becoming an English teacher, but he dropped out to focus on the band.
