    My first week of college I broke out in tears because I didn’t understand why all my peers were such incredible douchebags.

    Took me years later to realize it’s because they were mostly spoiled rich kids who didn’t actually want to go to college and thought I was an asshole for being happy and grateful to get to go to college.
