something very funny and kinda annoying is that the acronym for my university is the exact same as the acronym for the college that nearly everyone in my hometown ended up going to. and these are on different continents

#whenever i see those three letters in the bio of any of my friends from high school i do a double take #bc my instant reaction is like huh??? you ALSO moved across the atlantic???#but yeah i was one of literally 2 ppl in my graduating class who went abroad and. the other one went to canada lol.#shows how much usamericans hate anything not american. bc out of 625 ppl only 2 of us left the country #and i grew up in a VERY international area??? which makes this even weirder idk. but my school system growing up was VERY anti-study abroad #like we were constantly pushed to do either in-state or ivy. those were our options lmao #my school admin dragged their feet so much when i said i wanted to leave the country i literally had to get my parents involved #bc they were like ‘no you should go in-state’ ‘but i don’t want to’ ‘well we don’t want to give your transcript to another country’ sigh.#anyway. i have a lot of issues with the US public school system but this is so funny to me #michi.txt
