Dear White Women I went to Grad School with in the Pandemic.
Dear White Women I went to Grad School with in the Pandemic,
I’ll make this quick, because I know we all just finished school and are tired of reading — well — just about anything.
Remember when you complained pretty much nonstop and endlessly since the onset of the pandemic in March of 2020 about “your experience just not being what it should have been?”
And when you sat there in class rambling on and on over Zoom during self-care check ins about just “trying to take really good care of yourself, living in your parents’ basement in the suburbs, ordering a lot of tacos between your internship and classes?”
Or how about that time you decided to circulate a petition to try and get tuition lowered because of the injust inequity of having to pay higher tuition out of your Dad’s or husband’s trust account or your federally funded loans so our school could quickly adapt and pay for extra licensure and liability insurance to hold classes over Zoom in a matter of 0 hours without us feeling a disruption in a global freaking pandemic?
Yeah. Those jerks. How dare they.
I’m sorry your experience wasn’t what it should have or could have been.
