To The Trust Fund Brats, We Get It, You're Rich — But You Can Kindly Screw Off

If you have to mention at least once a day how rich your family is, there's a good chance I don't like you.

To start off my rant, I want to mention that I live and go to school in Charleston, SC, which is notorious for its "trust fund babies" and "entitled rich kids." Gag.

I didn't necessarily grow up poor. I was an average middle-to-lower middle class from a small town but since I moved to Charleston, the amount of rich, trust fund brats I've had to listen to and associate with is out of this world. And I'm sick of it.

We get it! You don't have to bring up how much money your family has in every sentence. Yet...this is what you do. Why? Don't you know how it makes the people around you feel? Or do you just not care? These are the kinds of questions I have for you.

Money isn't everything, and the fact that certain people are loaded is great for them. But when I'm struggling to pay rent, my car payment, my student loans, or whatever my bill of the week is, and you're just like "oh yeah, LOL, I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff because daddy pays for it" is unbelievably frustrating and upsetting. I struggle every month to stay on top of my bills. Sometimes, I even go home and cry out of frustration that every time I feel like I'm getting ahead of the game, I'm thrown back into the cycle of payments and late bills. And then, having someone around me flaunt their wealth around me daily doesn't help how I feel.

Not to mention, when all you have to talk about is getting VIP at the club, partying all the time, buying new stuff, how you don't have to work, etc, etc, it's boring. You're a boring person and I kind of find you repulsive. I'm glad that you're living such a stress-free existence but get out of my face with that nonsense. It's superficial and lame.

That may be a little harsh, but I speak for every working-class Millennial when I say it's ridiculous.

The worst part is that it's inescapable. Between Instagram, Snapchat and the plethora of other social media sites, I can't go a day without someone being incredibly annoying and in-my-face about their wealth. Don't you have anything better to do? Do you not have any substance to your existence? No? OK, swell.

If you're one of these people, do the rest of us a favor and just be aware of how you're making us feel. Being rich and having family money is fine, but when it's all you talk about (especially to people who aren't blessed with the same lifestyle) it can be a little cruel. Be courteous, please.

Oh, and P.S. kindly screw off

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
