If your disproportionately angry reactions to everyone and baseless insults are any indication of how you behave in real life, I suspect that has way more to do with why you’re poor than anything else. A victim mentality doesn’t help either.

Hahahahahaha...If you think I’m privileged then I pretty much have to stop reading your drivel right there, even if you hadn’t stooped to calling me a dumbass. My parents gave me a typewriter and a total of $1500 dollars for college. Not for fancy bedding, for four years of college. The rest I paid for myself through…

No, they’ll just make more comic book movies.

I’m not discounting her ordeal. I can only imagine the horror she experienced.

Oh, come on. First of all, all that shit cost way more than a grand. And even a grand is way too much money to spend on a dorm room. I’d be impressed if they learned some skills, took some measurements, then made their dorm room livable using the things everyone else has for college. But having mom and dad shell out…

I lived in a shitty dorm for two years. One complete with cinder block walls, no ac, a shared bath for the whole floor, and shitty furniture from the 70s. I’m not annoyed at attempts to make them look better. I’m annoyed at how spoiled one would have to be to consider this level of ridiculousness necessary for a room…

Absolutely tapes recorded off the radio, sometimes with the DJ talking over the music and sometimes with the beginning cut off if you didn’t hit record fast enough.

Are you me? The only thing I got from my parents for college was an electric typewriter (not sure where it was from). But yes, the boom box was essential, and my mix tapes were my prize possession.

I hope that’s true. I only know from stuff I see like this article and my college-age relatives, who all wrinkled their noses at the thought of living in a dorm like I had in college.

Ikea didn’t exist in the states when I went to college, way back before the turn of the century. But yeah, I had a few things from home, the furniture that came with the room, milk crates, posters and xmas lights.

Also, it’s just going to start a shitstorm of right wing nutters posting their sick burns on Instagram.

Good reminder. But these days, this kind of insanity goes on in colleges all over the place. As if it wasn’t bad enough that parents are expected to pay more for college tuition than many people spend on a house, now there’s some kind of competition to see who’s kid can be the most coddled into adulthood. God forbid a…

I had the sheets that were on my bed at home (which were the wrong size), 3000 square feet of band posters, and milk crates.

Everything about this, especially the photo, makes me stabby.

I think it annoys me that girls so young can’t be allowed to have the experience of being poor-ish college students for a few fucking years. It just feels so entitled and out of touch. Some of my young relatives have granite counter tops, private bathrooms, kitchenettes and all the amenities of a high end apartment in…

Great interview. I love Cindy/Tova so much. She’s so real to me and, like she says, so much like women I knew growing up. Women that could be cutting and selfish and do stupid things but were also ultimately huge-hearted and brave and hilarious. And Adrienne herself seems amazing and I wish I could be friends with…

The gymnastics I’m asked to perform sometimes to make clients’ “vision” remotely sensical...

I have zero desire to be a mother but oh I wanna squish that cutie pie baby.

The tag line really made it weird for me.

First, OMG is that baby adorable!
