I saw this a while ago...terrible...just terrible
Wonder if any of them has left the library in years?
Lame video, but Yale undergrad is amazing. Virtually everyone who went there loved it: quirky but brilliant kids, intellectual environment, unbelievable campus. The worst day of my life was when I got dinged at yale and harvard undergrad on the same day. Sigh.
Let it go. Learn to be thankful for what you have, surround yourself and your thoughts with folks you respect but wouldn't necessarily want to trade places with, and start living rather than wishing.
Good work IP. Wise words.
HYP grad here and while I loved my teammates and the credential I got, there was much to be desired.
Problems at HYP: - prestige whoring - highest concentration of unrealistic idealists - crushing political correctness - niche, narrow, esoteric classes - anti-athlete bias - overwhelming entitlement - hypocrisy of hating capitalism and sending 40% to finance jobs - every College Dem thinks he's the next Obama
Dude, you are a grown ass man. Let it go.
I could also make a gay joke, but I digress. This would scare me from going to Yale...it shows that their theater (?) or whatever division has no sense of whats cool.

I am bloomberg blasting this out to the world. The falsettos are spectacular.
this is awesome, straight on the ipod.
This is a well documented phenomenon and is best
The second singer in the first video is Sam Tsui. Youtube him. He's pretty good.
Thread title reminds me of PTKFGS. Good times.
Yeah I am a tad envious. Look at those laundry rooms! My first dorm's laundry room was a mix between a trading floor and a gladiatorial arena where you had to fight and negotiate over each machine. Most of which were hot-wired for free use, but if you left your clothes unattended they would get stolen or thrown on the floor. Not to mention that it was in the basement and usually 98 + degrees. A lot of hot, sweaty nights spent trying to study and assuring I had a wardrobe next week. Good times.
One last thing that I forgot to mention- that's important for Brady when he's talking with his HS friends who went to Harvard- is that H/Y/Pers, as well as FO folks at banks, if they're trained for one thing, it's to sell themselves. This was something I realized and quickly had to learn to do when I got to NYC and still grit my teeth when I have to do it. (See my business bio- it is totally forced, and when it comes up with friends, I get embarassed and change the subject.)
This is the real difference between NYC and Chicago. In New York, we invent some dream world- kinda epitomized by some of those Macy's commercials- in order to sell stuff. Chicagoans- particularly prop traders- prefer to cut through the BS and see things for what they really are. That's great if you can see it in your own life, but if you hear these stories of grandeur from New York and they make you feel left out and depressed, don't be. Everybody is fudging reality out here. They went to bed with a hot blonde last night- only though she was 4'9 and 38. They did get bottle service at The Pink Elephant- with eight other friends to split the tab as a once a year kinda thing. They are putting together mergers- under the supervision of their VP, who they are still mostly doing proofreading work for. They are so happy about their current job- only they don't mention they're going to leave it in six months. You fudge the reality, and if you're not careful, you start to believe it yourself, and then your old HS friends start to believe it.
Where is the Chicago I remember, and why haven't you learned its tricks, yet, jjc/Brady? When someone from the East Coast started bragging about their Armani shades, someone would walk up to them, mention their great aunt had the same kind to cover up her unibrow- American Living at JCP for $29, right? When someone started talking about their Harvard education, someone would mention they had two cousins out in Harvard- Harvard, IL, right? Do your parents still live there? Oh, that's interesting, I never heard of a University out in Harvard. (University of Chicago and Northwestern grads were allowed a little leeway if they stayed couthe, but someone from UIC would show up and start assuming the Chicago guy was a fellow student at UIC if he got too smug.)
Chicagoans are experts at popping bubbles and getting folks back to reality in a friendly way that gets everyone to laugh a little. I have a feeling that if you learn that art, and also start valuing yourself without needing to do so in relation to others, you will stop saying that getting rejected was the worst day of your life. You'll say it was the best thing that ever happened to you- because you wouldn't have had the opportunity to become the person you are today.
Why do you always say the moving things? Who are you?
Someone mentioned that whenever I post something, he imagines me wearing a straw cap, a pair of blue overalls, sitting in a rocking chair with a can of bud light in my hand, maybe with a southern drawl. I will be happy to accept that stereotype- as long as it makes people laugh a little bit more at the funnier parts in my posts.
haha, loved the second video. First one is just lame.
OK, now I have to get my brother to do one for state schools. You private school kids are going to get pilloried. :-)
hahaha
