Got another one in the mail today. The alumni magazine from the college that bestowed upon me an invaluable degree, the key to a good life.
I have so many fond memories of my alma mater, Mistake By The Lake. Alcohol abuse, for one. College is the perfect environment for that hobby. And how can I forget my backstabbing roommate who helped improve my chances for dating success.
What I treasure about the alumni magazine is all the success stories, how a Mistake By The Lake degree made the difference. But you never see the unsuccess stories.
My four-year degree was so worthwhile. It assured that I had a steady career, made plenty of money, and was never unemployed or forced to take a minimum wage job. My degree was so worthwhile that I had to default on my student loan.
An unsuccess story that will never appear in the MBTL alumni magazine. After all, the college has to sell the dream, not reality.
