Bah Humbug Alumni Money Grubbers

Happy holidays, for all those who celebrate. And for the rest of us, enjoy the holiday paycheck.

I understand that many institutions and charities sacrifice small forests in their efforts to contact everyone via letter/pamphlet begging for cash or "a holiday gift!"
Normally I don't mind this. I get it. This is the time of year in which guilt tripping people might ACTUALLY work. Exploit away.

Evidently not on me.
In fact, sometimes it just downright annoys me.

Aligright, OBVIOUSLY I'm a touch bitter about paying back my loans. And whenever I get a letter from my recent alma mater suggesting that I give a "gift" I become flooded with instant resentment.


Really assholes? You know I owe you like 60 grand, right? I'm going to be giving you monthly "gifts" until I am wreaking havoc in a nursing home. You know, as a resident.

And what LITTLE I have left over, I am certainly NOT signing it over to you out of the warm fuzzies of my heart for xmass.

Not to mention, I have NO say where this money goes. And as I am not always in agreeance with what AM (alma mater) does with their funds, meaning I almost never really am, I'm not about to hand over my hard earned cash and be all like "Thats right, funnel this into that completely useless Alumni center you Just built. But don't even think about putting it toward something like increased health/sex resources for the students. I mean, they are college aged. Its not like they are sexually active or anything! *Scoffs* "

Honestly? If I REALLY wanted to do contribute to my former college, I would put condom dispensers in every dorm bathroom. At least that way the hockey team might not spread the clap so fast this year.

But I don't even have enough to do that.

So best of luck with the clap/syph/gonh/herps/whatever is going around there this year.

Because those are the gifts that keep on giving ;)
