Ever wonder what it would be like to go to Stanford? or Columbia? or the University of Michigan?

It sucks. I am infinitly glad that I came here as an undergrad and was able to experience a university that didn't boast the best of everything. People at SCSU were farm kids, kids from small towns, with moderate incomes and average lives. 56% of all UMich undergrads came from homes that made over $100,000 a year, and it shows. These kids lead pampered lives and they will be getting a degree from a good university, so they may lead pampered lives forever. Some of them will never live in the real world; even doing a stint in the peace corps won't change them. This wouldn't be such an annoyance to me if it wasn't for the fact that they will be the ones shaping policy though their opinions and actions in later years. They are the classic case of "born on second, thought they got a double"

And maybe some of them will face hardship, but most won't. Most will be rich assholes forever and never deal with the consequences their lives have on the rest of us. And they will never be thankful, and they will think they are better than other people. They will think, even if they do come to appreciate everything they have, that they deserved it. They deserved to be born rich, to educated parents. I hate these people, and until I can re-construct my old facade that blocked them out, I hate this place.
