[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making your high school or college part of your identity. Even worse are the parents of the students who make their child’s educational choices part of their identity.[/quote]

Omg this a million times.  The parents who have more school spirit for their kid’s college than I ever had while I was actually in school. And people who graduated 10 years ago but still wear their school sweatshirts, hats, license plate frame, key chain, baby onesies, etc.  for their Ivy all while pretending they’re not hung up on status.

I have neighbors in their 40s who recently redid their basement in a full on Penn State theme. You went there for 4 years 25 years ago. You don’t need 1000 square feet of your house dedicated to it. [/quote]

Penn State is an entire personality type though.

I know more than a few people who went there who are aged 45+ who are obsessed with it in a way that is just weird. Football, basketball, wrestling, keeping up with campus happenings as if they are still living on campus. Some of it is about brainwashing their own kids starting at birth including by going up there 10 times/semester for sporting events (when they know no one playing on those teams and it's a 3+ hr drive one way) so that when it comes time for their HS junior to pick colleges, Penn State is the one and only school on the list. And viola mom and dad get to re-live their glory days thru their kids for 4 more years - I'm sure the kids love mom and dad showing up at every drunken tailgate.[/quote]

Omg this is so accurate. And I didn’t even go there, but I’ve heard all about “Thon” than was ever necessary. I mean I’m sure it raises a lot of money for a good cause, but dear lord, no one else goes around bragging years later about doing some fundraising. [/quote]

Right?? And I don't think they realize, most schools have some kind of fundraising/charitable works clubs and yes they are huge at other schools too. So yeah it's just an obsessions with THEIR school being the best. I truly get it when it's 18-25 year olds feeling that way, or even 28 year olds nostalgic for a few years ago. What's weird about Penn State is that it's 45 and 50+ year olds that are this obsessed with their school.[/quote]
