Congratulations
to all those who had the foresight to decline acceptance
or transfer. I speak to you all, because surely you
wonder if it was the right decision. I graduated in
2006 and it was one of the proudest days of
my life. I “survived” and wrote a huge senior thesis
which, unlike too many of my counterparts, isn't a load
of BS. I learned so much in the process and
my mind was challenged thoroughly by the academics. But, as
you all foresaw as a possibility, I suffered “trauma” as
my therapist calls it, from trying to make it in
a scene that I was not cut out for. I
graduated with less confidence than I had in high school
and an elite education that meant nothing without elite connections.
The last few years of my life, I have been
working menial jobs to develop skills in a technical field
so I can get a normal job like a normal
person. I'm playing catch up and it's okay, but I
am not in touch with any students or professors and
when I receive the Bardian at home, I cannot open
it without conjuring memories of humiliation, ostracization and sadness. Yeah,
there are some honest and good people there, but not
enough to balance the arrogance and snobbery that no teenager
should have to compete with. Here's my advice: just because
they admit you, does not mean that you belong there.
I'm still convinced I got in to fill some sort
of blue-collar “diversity” quota. Good luck kids.
