@Charismatic Megafauna: "I went to college in Boston, well, Cambridge actually."
I hate this so much because now whenever I tell someone - even someone from Boston - I go to school in Boston, they ask, "Which one, Harvard or MIT?" I doubly hate that it makes me feel like a failure for not being at one of those two.
And then I hate myself a bit for being comforted by the fact that I'm working on a PhD, as if somehow playing any version of the classist game doesn't mean I lose. Why do I still buy into these broken models of success/worth/happiness?
