Not only am I not attached, but I almost actively dislike it at this point, some of which I'll admit is due to me being an extremely bitter person lately over my lack of success. But it gets annoying to constantly hear about what a great school it is for career opportunities. That might be true if you want to work in petroleum or mining, but most of the other industries/majors just seem average to me. It's also frustrating trying to go to career fairs and networking events dominated by those industries. Then you have the student body, which is/was mostly a bunch of right-wing fuckfaces, a large portion of whom think they are rednecks and cowboys even though they're from upper-middle-class families.

I don't think I own any university-branded swag anymore. I didn't get rid of it for the above reasons necessarily, but because I don't really care in general. Now that college degrees are so commonplace and meaningless, I feel like that kind of showing off is almost as lame as showing off your high school (unless they have actual sports teams, but that doesn't apply for me).
