1.)When an undergraduate university student who is living on campus feels that he/she knows nothing from the outside.Specifically World events.

2.)When any person studying or working in a university that feels that they are living in a world which is protected by the forces of academia. In financial and personal terms.
1.)What? Obama is elected? I have no idea because i live in an academic cocoon.

2.)Money is for real people not for people who live inside an academic cocoon.
