Seriously, this is a Pitt student.*
Lending Desk, Hillman Library, Pitt.
A patron returns a book:
Library Clerk: This is overdue. You have $4.75 in fines
Patron: WHAT?! FOUR dollars and seventy-five cents?! Are you serious? That is so stupid. I can’t believe there are fines! I’ve never borrowed books before. I didn’t know there would be fines! This is so stupid.

* By the way, has Pitt recently come to be known as a good school? I know the engineering and philosophy departments have been top shelf for a long time (though only because I dated girls in those programs) but I was told that my having gone to Pitt somehow helped get me into grad school. Other sources have confirmed this ascension. How can this be? With the exception of a handful of amazing professors, I didn’t really feel I got much out of my Pitt education, particularly the lackluster journalism track. Can someone please explain this?

Literally? That’s barely even figurative.
59U, Oakland.
A bunch of Pitt girls are talking about high school:
Girl: My high school literally sucked.
