Harvard Hosts Workshop to Prevent Students From Becoming Arrogant Jerks
It’s hard to go to Harvard and not become an arrogant jerk. In recognition of this fact, Harvard officials have organized a special workshop to help Harvard students overcome their extraordinary wonderfulness in order to relate better to the little people when they return home for the holidays.
It’s Harvard helping Harvard cope with Harvard.
Here’s the event description from the student affairs office:
Home from Harvard for the Holidays: Revisiting Relationships with Family and Friends
Wednesday, December 5, 1:00-2:30pm
5 Linden Street
How do I talk about Harvard at home? Will my friends and family think I’ve changed? Will I still fit in? This workshop provides an opportunity to describe and explore your experiences and questions as you anticipate going home. To register, email sl***@bsc.harvard.edu or cshind***@bsc.harvard.edu.Don’t you love it when elitism comes packaged in the warm, fuzzy language of holiday cheer?
Like soldiers coming back from war with post-traumatic stress disorder, Harvard students are so overwhelmed by the shock of realizing how special they are that it is difficult for them to fit in at home with their non-Harvard family and friends.
It’s just…so…hard…to feel normal again.
We should set up a humanitarian fund to help Harvard students and their families deal with the unique challenges and obstacles they face relating to one another when extraordinary Harvard students return home from college.

If you have to attend this course, you probably recognize that you are an arrogant jerk (to put it mildly)!
I worry more about the ones that don’t think they are a problem…
The ONLY difficult thing about Harvard is getting in. Period. And with pull (money, connections, wink-wink) even that difficulty can be handled.
Heck yes, you can even get a job and tenure at Harvard via affirmative action as a blue eyed blond haired high cheek-boned Native American…then get elected to the US Senate in a state where only clinical morons vote.
