"I suppose that I’m grateful that I can make all my car payments and start saving for retirement while most of my friends are living at home and working part-time jobs — but I often find myself lamenting the fact that I’m not living at home and not working a part-time job. From my perspective, these are just some of the life-changing, character-building experiences that I may never have."

You know, sometimes I have trouble thinking of a good, concise example of privilege. But this here — believing that having to live at home and work part-time for minimum wage while your college degree gathers dust are “CHARACTER BUILDING EXPERIENCES”, as opposed to depressing realities that some people can never escape — this is a solid example of privilege at its finest.

I have a pretty big surplus of character at this point. If anyone finds a way to trade it in for money, let me know.
