This is nasty. You should feel bad.



I used to work with hard to reach NEET young people in an area of extreme deprivation. Fuck yes, getting into college was something to be celebrated if they achieved it.



DS1 has ADHD and school is a bloody nightmare, if he ever gets into college you can bet your snobby arse I will be celebrating, loudly and proudly.



I used to work with people overcoming drug and alcohol addiction- there is a LOT to be celebrated when someone who has had to work bloody hard to change their life secures a college place.



I'm a social worker in mental health now and work with both adults and yp: when any of our patients get into college that is very much worthy of celebration.



Just four examples of when a college place is worth celebrating (ftr, I think every damn college place is worth celebrating). It's a shame that you're someone who prefers to be snide and unpleasant, but thankfully, most people are not like you and see the value of celebrating people's achievements.
