The thing with being good at lying to others is that you end up being pretty great at lying to yourself too. “I really thought I was going to be one of them,” I say. Anyone who has ever even Googled the requirements for a top college has come across those smug little bastards laying out their admission letters on the kitchen table for the local news anchor while their parents beam in the corner. “You know those intolerable kids who get into, like, every Ivy League college? And then someone interviews then, and they trend online and are always so obnoxiously smug and earnest at the same time?”
That seems like a very plausible course of action. “Or I’m just waiting for the actual rejection letter before burning this city to the ground with the fire of a thousand dragons. And if it’s not enough, then Princeton wasn’t for me, y’know?”ĭid you do your best? I hear, in Dad’s voice.
