[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The writer's great-aunt is Katie Couric. I get that she's finding herself and whatnot, but it's hard to have sympathy. [b]She could have chosen not to got to Dartmouth[/b]...[/quote]

Wowzers. It sounds like after only 6 weeks in, she is being harshly reminded of that choice. Life is full of regrets at that age.  :? [/quote]

I mean I went to college with people who moved across the country to get away from their family name. It's a conscious decision even at that age. Her uncle that went to Dartmouth has the same last name and is a Hollywood writer, director and producer. Her grandmother has a cancer center at UVA named after her. She was not unaware of her family.[/quote]

CORRECT, that is why I said she is being "harshly reminded of that choice". Not that she did not know/was unaware. She made a choice, that she clearly regrets now. Those are huge shoes to fill, and she appears to be doubting feasibility of doing so. Understandable, at least to me. But, after reading what's listed about notable family accomplishments, I cannot understand why in the world that girl did not opt into Yale or ANY other top school. [/quote]

Fair point. It would be interesting to see whether she comes to terms and stays, continues to whine and stays, or transfers. Regretting decisions is fine. We all do it. One's character develops from what they do with that regret. [/quote]
