Listen up, people.
I only have a few of these opportunities left to rant to what is the online equivalent of a captive audience. I guess after I graduate you could always follow my tumblr, but honestly, just writing that sentence made me want to cry/vomit. We are approaching the end of the days when you get to read my words and then look at an artist’s rendition of my shockingly receding hairline at the bottom of the post.
But for today, I’ma let you in on one of my irrational, but completely legitimate, hatreds: the phrase “peer institutions.” Why do I hate this piece of the Columbia lexicon? Because it’s obnoxious while trying to sound un-obnoxious, and it confuses more than it reveals.
