How Can I Prove that I'm the Biggest Hardo at my Non-Target?

I already have 3 patagucci vests (1 monogrammed, 2 vanilla) with my 1987 thinkpad coming in the mail, my JUUL is custom engraved with "SHORT VIX", and I have "Incoming Interviewer for Goldman Sachs Risk Management Division in New Jersey" on my LinkedIn Premium profile. What else can I do prove my dominance at my local college and leverage my superiority to network into a BB?

1) When a professor says something that you disagree with, begin your rebuttal with “well according to the industry professionals at wallstreetoasis.com....”

2) cc your classmates when you send networking emails so they know the type of BSDs you associate with

3) refer to your food budget as a seamless allowance

4) decorate your dorm room with posters if IB league tables

5) force yourself to become LGBT for the sole reason of gaining access to BB diversity initiatives

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at

  • Ferragamo or Gucci loafers, plus a tacky fake Hermes H-buckle belt.
  • Always wear a suit
  • FB profile pic of Gordon Gekko or Jordan Belfort
  • Contrast collar shirt w/french cuffs
  • Bright socks. Extra points for matching suspenders (if you don't want to splurge on the H-buckle belt)
  • A metric ton of cologne
  • Fake gold Rollie
  • And of course, a medium length slicked back haircut.
 

I shouldn't have to mention doing all your classwork on an HP-12C (gold, not platinum, and of course RPN only). Carry it around wherever you go and make a point to use it in everyday conversation, such as calculating your professor's mortgage payment against his publicly available salary and suggest he refinance. Value add.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.

Not joking.

  1. Never ever wash your hands after using the seamless urinal device. People want to feel the real you.

  2. About 1 min into any conversation, pause and stare at the other person shoes before shortly proceeding with the conversation. People love that kind of attention.

  3. It is essential to maintain a semi hard on whenever you are speaking to decision makers, this will make them like you more.

  4. It's considered impolite to not mention your new yoga experience with the whole office and how it can empower them.

  5. If your perfume/cologne does not linger for about an hour since you left the elevator, you need to be a bit more generous with the spraying.

  6. The cleaning staff partially took their jobs to hear your life advice, so don't be afraid to give it to them like the scum they are.

spit out my peanut butter. Thank you lmao

Don't beat yourself up on this, Eric. Some people like taking the long way home. Who the fuck knows?
 

Instead of pissing in toilets, walk into a bathroom thats crowded with many of your peers and pee in one of those Dyson Airblade hand dryer things. The air should blow your urine on everyone.

Dayman?
 

Second this, can't tell how many times I spot kids wearing fake watches and still get complimented.

Buy a vintage HP 12-C bond calculator and learn just enough about how to calculate yields and prices the old school way so that you look sufficiently imperious. It's helpful if you walk around and say things like "never buy a bond with a negative yield to the call."

Make sure to be an incoming CFA level 1 candiadate

This is key.
