So apparently

A girl in my town just got an email from Harvard (where she’s matriculating) saying that they’re planning to put an article about her acceptance in our hometown newspaper.

This makes me feel really skeevy for a couple of reasons:

• our paper is written exclusively by reporters in our town. It’s a point of pride for us—that we all know the journalists when they come to report on school events, that we see them at block parties and graduations and tree lightings, and that we know that it’s their job to document what happens in our town. To replace some of that with a generic piece from Harvard…I don’t know. But that’s not what’s really getting to me.
• It just feels so WEIRD. I know getting into Harvard is a huge deal and I’m really happy that someone from my butthole of a town is getting out and going someplace with such a reputation, but is it such a THING that the school needs to contact our local paper to be like “HEY LOOK. Someone from your stupid town got into OUR SCHOOL and it’s a HUGE DEAL. You must report on it.” It just seems wrong. I’m all for recognizing the achievements of our superstars, but to highlight the achievements of one girl for getting into one particular school is just strange to me.

Am I being a douche? Please tell me if I’m being a douche.

I am drunk and ranting at my roommate about my ridiculous evening.

You guys, I had to eat a doughnut off a spinning ceiling fan. I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE TIRED, ROOMMATE, YOU NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.

also I had a 30 second conversation with the cutest person ALIVE. WIN.
