[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a t shirt, in case.

But my kid is already pretty well aware there's no sweatshirt wearing til Spring. He even mentioned last year how uncool it was for people to add college to instagram bio in winter.

Wearing it around the house, or taking a picture in the sweatshirt to send to your sister, sure. The rest is not kind, as you say[/quote]m

This is such a strange take. My DC has a tshirt or sweatshirt from several colleges and universities that we visited over the past two years and wears them on rotation pretty regularly. Don’t really see anything wrong with that.
And if DC gets accepted to ED school, I fully expect that DC will wear buy a few more pieces to wear. And will probably get a car sticker or something like that. 
Why is it “unkind” for a student to express excitement at being accepted to their preferred school? We know several recruited student athletes who received their offers and signed as juniors and they immediately started wearing swag from their chosen college. This didn’t result accusatiins that they were being “unkind” to other student athletes who were not given athletic scholarships to those schools. You win some you lose some. But that doesn’t mean you have to suppress your own excitement and enthusiasm about a positive outcome simply because others didn’t experience that same outcome. I’m not suggesting you jump up and yell “yeah yeah in your FACE!!!!”—-but you can express happiness and celebrate your own success and achievement without the need to coddle other people’s hurt feelings.
