      Dude, every time I would fuck something up when I was at home (even before I was technically a freshman here!) everyone would be like “Oh, so you go to MIT, huh?” and make fun of me. I was never allowed to miscount anything or ask for technology help or anything like that. It was fucking annoying.

      The Christmas of my freshman year I went to visit a friend back home. He had another friend at his house whom I met there for the first time. The friend-of-the-friend (in his mid-twenties) tells me he’s working on some coding project and asks “Oh, you’re studying computer science at MIT? Maybe you can help me” and goes on to describe some problems he’s been having with his code– mostly database and server stuff which just goes right over my head. I told him I couldn’t help him (because at the time the only 6 class I’d taken was 6.00). He replies “Oh, well then I don’t feel as bad for not getting into MIT.”

        christ, what an asshole! it’s like he was lording his knowledge over a semester-old freshman, then implying, “oh since i’m better than you, i’m better than MIT”. maybe he was bitter about that rejection letter however many years ago.

        unfortunately, there is that ‘you should know everything’ perception that we have to keep reminding non-MIT people isn’t true – i mean, 4 years can change us, but we’re still people with limits who aren’t unlike other colleges’ people with limits.

      4:1 they split over the summer, 2:1 they split pretty soon after returning (as they realize that the relationship was nowhere near as good as fantasized when they were apart), 10:1 they stay together for an extended period of time

        I don’t think this is necessarily true. It really depends on how long they had been in a relationship going into the summer.

      Don’t whine. If the relationship was that important to you, you wouldn’t have chosen MIT. Few choices in life are easy.

      While I wouldn’t do such a thing at a graduation party if I were a teacher, I don’t think this deserves an fml. She’s only human, cut her some slack. I know plenty of weed smokers, beer pong players and questionably appropriate sex havers that are perfectly fine people. If she was not bad at her job, you have no business deciding how she should lead her life. You need to learn to not judge people for these things and like them for the good in them.

      I am not saying put your morals aside and fall for peer pressure, I am saying don’t hesitate to make friends that don’t have the same morals as you.

      • tha author 6:12 pm on June 25, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        I don’t care that she smoked and drank. It’s the fact that she did it at a high school party where she was literally the ONLY adult, and many of her students were underage drinking. Completely messed up and inappropriate. The sex is just the fucked-up icing on the cake.
