"Working 30+ hours a week making barely above minimum wage"? First of all, that's not very difficult, but it's certainly not glamorous either - unless you do it at Abercrombie & Fitch, like I did. And then it's still not glamorous, just boozy.
"Moderately priced, in-state public university"? An in-state public university? Well then, what's the point in boasting about a 3.8 GPA? From the sounds of it, he's not even going to a Public Ivy. Book-But-No-Street-Smarts up there doesn't realize that no one looks twice at your GPA after college; you're lucky if they even take a first look. Neither does he realize that, if you actually have a level of intelligence that would insinuate you're smarter than those attending the nearest community college, you can still get a GPA to be proud of and party like a freshman recruit with a low alcohol tolerance during Rush Week. That way - because you actually had something resembling a social calendar in between 24-hour-oh-shit-appointments at the library - you won't feel the need to rub your GPA in everyone's faces afterward.
"I got decent grades in high school and received two scholarships, which cover 90% of my tuition." Yeah, about that, buddy, we all got "decent" grades in high school. Some of us got "good," if not "excellent" grades. And, as my friend divulged upon reading your Confession of Douchery, "I had 100% of my tuition covered, and it only took ONE scholarship."
Finally, as if I would ever go around flaunting the fact that I live "below my means"...what does that even mean?! No wonder he has to hide behind a piece of paper; most likely to cover his taped-up glasses and knocked-out teeth, because I have no doubt that this guy right here is one of the rare few who gets bullied in college. Is this some type of a satire, or something equally insipid that I just don't get?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready to go watch the over-privileged who don't make it into the aforementioned 99% on Revenge.
