I literally can't express how much better my life has been since I attended Oxford. I went to a state school and gradually became the stereotypical moody, withdrawn sensitive type who both despises the quality of his immediate culture and feels a weird pride for having been raised in a sort of anti-intellectual and brutal environment. I was all set to take my Russell Group humanities BA and spend my life working as an anonymous, insecure wageslave forever thankful of being offered a job and forever too insecure to pursue my creative ambitions. The chip on my shoulder had become something of a wedge, and I felt too out of place regardless of my environment, too resentful and bitter to even attempt to make it in the artistic world. Then I finally applied for Oxford and got in to study an English MA, with reassurance that should I work hard enough a career in academia or within one of Oxford's affiliated companies would be almost guaranteed. I turned up as apprehensive as usual, and the first few days were spent regretting my decision and desperately feigning a cultured personality. But then I realized that the people there were just interesting and that the snobbery and exclusivity I had anticipated was just a myth borne out of my working class upbringing. I've since graduated, having spend the year dining in grand halls with groups of interesting people, dating several girls (one of whom, a petite Russian whose family traces back to the aristocracy, is now my fiancee). I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn £38k a year. I regularly meet up with friends from my college and visit Oxford for nights out and for meetings with my professors. The Martin Eden-esque novel I have been writing for two years has been selected for publication at a major British publishing house and, honestly, I could not have imagined a few years ago how great life could be. I come on /lit/ and see how pathetic you all are and just shake my head and chuckle. If I saw you guys on the street I would of course throw you a penny or discuss Bukowski or whatever "realist" writers you enjoy, but ultimately I would be able to tell within ten seconds if you're an Oxbridge grad and would dismiss you as a potential source of good company if you are not. I never thought I'd know what it was like to be objectively better than somebody else, for the value of my existence to be superior to the value of a stranger's, but now I do and I've never been happier. People are awed by power and prestige. All I need to do is mention the university I attended (if only for a year) and they immediately begin to hunch and look at their feet because they know they are in the presence of greatness.

I go to a top 25 uni in America (its not elite, just very respectable) and I have the option to study abroad there. So that's what I'll probably do. I didn't apply because fuck getting a visa and paying for British uni and airfare and all that shit, plus I didn't know what I wanted to major in.

Well, first:
>£38k a year
That puts you just above average US household income. I was making £30k a year as a compsci intern after only ONE SEMESTER of college, at a finance firm. I'm with a fire department now and most of us clear £41k, and our "academy" is only 12 weeks and totally free. And we only work three days a week. Face it anon: you're poor.
And two:
Jesus Christ you've been lapping up that cool-aid so hard that you've become completely out of touch with everything. My ex went to Amherst College (Ranked higher than yours, if that'll get your attention) and she was great in highschool but the AC culture just made her a worse human being. Now I'm dating her friend, who is in the top 1% of Connecticut College, and she's a little better but it's the same shit, the only worthwhile thing they've ever done is get their degree from a selective school. Their ego and self-worth subsists 100% of a single accomplishment that is only somewhat significant, and as a result they feel proud of contributing absolutely nothing, which makes them emotionally taxing to deal with. People aren't looking down at their feet because they "know that you're better", they look down at their feet because they've realized that you're self-aggrandizing and they want to get away from you without being mean.
Seriously though, cool down a little bit, you sound like you have no soul and totally subsist on what others think of you.

I grew up in something that's one step up from a complete ghetto. I made it to an Ivy League school on the back of a combination of affirmative action and an athletic scholarship.

My classmates were all your traditional, blue blood type elites. My professors were the leading experts of their fields.

Every single one of them wanted nothing more than to be shown the base and degenerate aspects of society, and to experience it through whatever avenue possible. This includes emotional, intellectual, and physical. I'm talking humiliation and abuse - in bed and out of bed.

(I'm a faggot in case you haven't figured this out yet. I know you guys suck at reading comprehension.)

One of my teammates, an otherwise proper, respectable, and charismatic white boy had the biggest orgasm of his life (or so he tells me) from having a $10,000 bottle of wine poured over him while I fucked him. Another one specifically requested I whip him with his violin bow. Many more want to experience prison rape or some other comparable scenario in the bedroom. I had a professor suck me off in his office while specifically requesting I shout verbal abuse relating to the emptiness and uselessness of his particular field of study. My experience is not at all uncommon from what I hear.

Your so-called "elites" just want to be treated like crap by ghetto filth. Next time you meet up with an Ivy grad, just remember there's a good chance the same mouth that's speaking eloquently about politics, culture, or whatever other topic is probably the same mouth that sucked big black cock the night before.
