I wish I went to an Ivy

I genuinely love my school, don’t get me wrong

Without doxing myself, I go to a well respected school filled with smart kids that aren’t super hardo. We have a cool campus, place a good amount into banking blah blah blah

But FUCK man

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I could just tell my tail chasing 15 year old self to LOCK TF IN

And it’s not even nessarily for recruiting purposes either. It’s the sense of pride and accomplishment I see Ivy League kids have when mentioning their school. For some reason I want that same sense of pride that I just don’t have when it comes to my school

And the worst part is that I KNOW if I locked in from 9th grade onward I could be at an Ivy rn

But hey, I guess a valuable life lesson was learned, right?

The trade off is being able to party way harder and have a way doper and more american traditional college experience than those nerds
