    lol, my teammates literally drive to one of the best skiing locations in America every single weekend during the winter and that's all they talk about

    all my friends and classmates back in high school would ski and snowboard every winter weekend too

    I love my parents for moving into a rich ass city so I could go to a nice high school, get into a great college, and have a good career but fuck, these are not my people at all

      I get that feeling as well. My colleagues, who are all nice and likable people btw, will go on and on about going to nice restaurants or buying homes or investing or what have you and I will feel utterly alienated from them as I don't have the means to do any of that.

      Thats what I hated about college the most, I wasn't always feeling like the oddman out because I was weird or stupid, I was just poor and carried the consequences of growing up poor with me. They just couldn't relate to me.
