Come one, come all, and revel as I navigate the ups and downs of the mundanities of my life. Thus far, my stomach-churning has been kept to a minimum, but I can't speak for my readers. You'll be riveted as you're kept on the edge of your seat, wondering, "Will the next post be the one that makes me lose my lunch??" Excitement, she wrote!

Hopkins Ain't Haahvaahd.

While cruising the Jolt, I came across an article that talks about the dissatisfaction of students at Hahvahd, saying that the elite Ivy League school ranks 5th from the bottom in terms of student satisfaction among a group of 31 elite private schools called the Consortium on Higher Education.

Hmm...I wonder what schools rated below Hahvahd...could Johns Hopkins be one such school?

(The names of the lowest four schools were not released. The article can be found here, and the list of 31 schools can be found here.)

My guesses for the other three schools from the list of 31 are: University of Chicago, Cornell, and MIT (the last two based on past suicide rates).

What really simultaneously amuses and irritates me, though, is that of course the article would be about Hahvahd, because if it was written about Hopkins, half the slack-jawed readers out there would be scratching their heads in utter confusion, wondering about this unknown "John Hopkins" school. But seriously...boohoo, Harvard. Would you like some cheese with that whine? I think Hopkins students are retarded for complaining, but we have much more reason to slit our wrists than anyone on the East Coast. (With possible exceptions of Cornell and MIT.) No one out-whines Hopkins, ya hear?? No one!
