...toil in the salt mines of creative writing equate to “I’ve written some stories,” while the oft-requested summary of my thesis has now diminished to the pithy “It’s about Jews and their dads.” A love of good television, like academia, requires both an intensely specific knowledge and an investment of time and effort beyond what is strictly necessary or merely entertaining.

I, for one, admit to spending much of my time back home attempting to hide my college’s identity.
