co ee, but I need the ca eine. I promise myself not to eat today.
I hustle into my entrepreneurship lecture. Total adjunct professor struggle.
The teacher’s a youngish, sandy-haired dude in glasses and a blue shirt. He seems
the type of guy who’d rather host a podcast than have anything to do with us.
Last year, there’s no way I would have made it to class. If I stopped partying
even for a moment, I couldn’t get out of bed. It was fascinating that if the feeling
of impending doom and dread made my limbs leaden and my head cottony, no
one ever found out. You could get away with anything if no one cared enough to
check. Far away from my family for the rst time, I learned that everything was
profoundly optional. So I opted out. I couldn’t not.
Podcast Guy drones on about Recent Business History—youngest self-made
billionaires, Harvard grads that go onto entrepreneurial greatness, upwardly
mobile white women who seed their businesses from well-connected families,
and the industry disruptors and in uencers whose parents happen to be
celebrities or early employees at tech monoliths. As if any of these lessons apply
to me. As if any of these relics aren’t ancient. As if any of it is ever to be repeated
in my lifetime.
He insists the lesson is that we’re supposed to be able to isolate unmet needs
in the marketplace, but I can tell he doesn’t believe his own bloodless recitation.
He may as well be crossing his ngers behind his back. Or have a massive hashtag
above his head that reads: ad.
I stare out the window. What’s the point? The planet is on re and
everything is random. June is one of the smartest people I know and she got a
job at a prestigious hedge fund without a master’s because her rst roommate
was a nance scion who also happened to be obsessed with Animal Crossing and
shojo manga.
I start clicking through the spring collection slideshows for next year. During
last fashion week some rando Ivy was dating got us onto the list for an after party
at Le Bain, that club with a hot tub in the middle of it. But of course she didn’t
show up and I was her plus-one so I didn’t get to go.
I know that attending college is like praying to God. It’s not that you believe
in it; you do it just in case. Because other people are. Design school in
Manhattan is Hunger Games for East Asian kids with severe haircuts. I can’t tell
if I’m the racist one for feeling like we’re interchangeable, but all the incentives
seem scammy to me.
I’ve never met a single person whose job I can remotely admire.
