My parents have GOTTA be ragbaiting me.
Okay, so I'm planning college tours right now, and my mom is like, "You know, you should apply to Harvard since no more international students! Oh and Princeton too!"
Me, in shock. "I'm not going to harvard or princton mom, A: I'm not getting in, and B, we're not paying for that!""Actually it's super cheap!"
"Uh. No it's not... What are you talking about."
"Yeah they give great aid!" (For reference, we're well off enough, we're not getting financial aid. They know this.)
"They don't give merit aid, no ivys do."
THEN MY PARENTS START MOCKING ME?? LIKE VERBATIM "OH LOOK AT ARGENTI NOW HE"S 17 HE THINKS HE KNOWS BETTER THAN HIS PARENTS."
"YEAH ARGENTI YOU KNOW SO MUCH BETTER"
It's an easily verifiable fact that they don't give merit."You can't trust everything you read online, argenti"
This is from https://college.harvard.edu/.
ARGH
"Oh actually harvard is about the same net price as [my sister's college]"
It's 10k cheaper, and they give merrit aid
I AM LOSING MY MIND, CHAT I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM MY GASLIGHTER PARENTS.

…it’s times like these when I realize how lucky I am to have my parents.
it’s usually the opposite extreme, where like I’m expected to pay for all my clothes and anything I want to buy, and my whole humanitarian trip next month, and my puppy (there’s a reason I have 2 jobs). And it’s just kind of assumed I’ll get basically a full ride scholarship and then cover rent and go wherever I want…idk.
Family is hard, but I’m glad yours care. I’m not saying that makes it easy or that they’re right, but even imperfect love is powerful and wonderful.
