THE FOLLOWING IS A COMMENT LEFT BY A YOUNG LADY BY THE NAME, or ALIAS, "LeeAnne". This is her personal rebuttal against my extremely tactless, unclassy, arrogant commentary on my love for Yale.
I think you're really cocky. Hopefully, it's because you're only 18 and you just haven't matured yet. I can only hope, for your sake and the sake of countless Yale alumni, you grow up and stop talking like that about your school. I know you think you are praising it, but you're praising it the way trailer trash prop Eminem - it just doesn't fit the bil.. Yale was built on class, distinction and honour. A TRUE Yale student/grad would hold their head high in the *knowledge* of it's greatness; they wouldn't feel the need to throw it in anyone's face. I hope by the time to reach the end of your degree, you've also learned how to be gracious and modest.

WELL, LeeAnne, HERE'S WHAT I THINK:
Dearest LeeAnne:
I understand your complaint. You are right. I am cocky, and I am only 18, and I have not yet matured (as I said in the previous entry, I didn’t hit puberty until age 17).
Nevertheless, in my defense, I am hoping that you do not know who I am, because anyone who knew me, personally, would find jest within the commentary. Anyone who knew me would also pick up on the facetious undertones. Anyone with a sense of humor would not “defecate a brick” over this matter.
I do appreciate your supplement to my blog, because no one really leaves comments on my site—it means a lot to me that you did in order to express your livid opinions. My assumption is that you don't know who I am. Ergo, you are probably not Yalie. And, ergo, you probably do not even matter. Besides, if you went to Yale, you would understand the glory found within matriculating here, and would not find it necessary to leave such a statement.
In critique of your choice of arguments, I feel that the allusion to Eminem is very weak: it was a good idea. Eminem is, often times, very classless. But then again, Eminem is also a multi-platinum, multi-millionaire artist. Something you, LeeAnne, could never dare to dream of.
You are, however, very correct in one part. Yale was built on class, distinction and honor. Lord only knows how you knew that much about Yale, let alone what a “TRUE Yale student/grad” is. Yale did not, however, get where it is today by just being *knowledgeable* about this greatness. Take a look at the ranks, missy. Besides, whoever wins just by being *knowledgeable*?
Does Harvard win by doing it? Does Dartmouth win by doing it it? O—wait; you probably would not know what it’s like. Excuse my faulty assumption. To get back on topic, being explicitly *knowledgeable* is a courtesy we, Yalies, taken upon ourselves, so as not to rub it in other peoples’ faces. I did not take this courtesy, because this happens to me my blog.
In the meantime, I will enjoy my education at Yale, and in three years, attain this “so called” grace and modesty for which you so pray.
Go back to your cardboard box.
Love,
Moi (**That is French for "me"),
The Most Classless Future Yale Grad EVER!! (not to mention on financial aid)
