Dollars to donuts says you'd be exactly where you are now even if you'd had an attempt at ivy league education, so the angry black white kid act isn't getting you anywhere

I was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania but it didn't look like scholarship money or financial aid was forth-coming that summer after high school so I said **** it and accepted at Temple which wasn't giving me jack at first either but had much cheaper tuition.

Apparently that's how things work. They don't finalize the scholarships til you accept. I didn't know that.

I also got independent standing so I ended up getting almost a free ride at Temple so it's all good. Probably should have been more willing to go into debt by attending UPenn (and who knows what sort of ride they would have given me had I accepted).

Might be the biggest regret of my life. I hope to make up for it in grad school after the military.
