let this be a beacon in the googlewilderness

Did you know that (until I hit Publish) there are no google results for I Hate My Alumnae Magazine? Nor, believe it or not, for the more universal I Hate My Alumni Magazine.

Yet I truly cannot believe that I am the only one who does in fact, hate and revile her alumnae magazine. Of which we receive two per quarter. That's two more than I require.

I just...hate everything about it. It is a glossy, thick, expensive looking thorn in my side. I'm just waiting until my year's Class Notes section stops being IN-FUCKING-SUFFERABLE and starts being about who is merely Not Dead Yet.

Yeah, fuck you, alumnae magazine.

And if you've landed here because this was the only google hit for I Hate My Alumnae Magazine, then know that you are not alone.

This post cracks me up because I LOVE my alumnae mag! I love looking through the class notes and finding women named "Muffin" and "Bricks," plus I like seeing what my old classmates are doing. I also like the articles in the magazine--I always find something interesting in there. Hell, I'll read yours if you want to pass it on to me! You know I'm all about the mail.

I like you way to much to subject you to this dreadful rag (tagline: By And For Those Who Are Overly Impressed With Themselves). Also? I hate most of my old classmates. I have huge Issues with college. Alas.

Hey, I hate many of my old classmates, too. I still like reading about their happenings--I'm super nosy like that! Your mag sounds like it might take the cake, though...that article would piss me off bigtime.

I know right? plus, have I mentioned my old roommate? She was quoted extensively in said article. the Money Quote didn't come from her but still. Six pages of bad, bad vibes.

Ooh, I don't think I know about your old roommate. Do tell! She must be a piece of work to be quoted in that article.

Ha ha! I thought of Clementine immediately when I read this too. I was like oh no! Sacrilege! Clementine HEARTS our alumnae magazine!

Also, I secretly like reading it because I hope to see something BAD about someone I hate. Now I am the worst person of the 3 of us.

hey, I make rude comments about everyone's dorky wedding photos (especially if they're unexpectedly marrying a dude). here's where I bad-mouthed my old roommate:
