The entire significance behind my blog has suddenly been undermined. This blog was born out of spite for the many pretentious Stanford people who scoffed at the fact that I had time to watch television. But now I am realizing that even television itself has a idealized vision of Stanford.
Both DJ Tanner and Jessie Spano want nothing else their senior year except to attend [gasp] Stanford University. That's the problem with these west-coast set sitcoms, they act as though Stanford is all that exists. I know for a fact that none of the Dawson's Creekers (not even "I'm fourth" Joey) even thought about going to Stanford, and something tells me that the Gossip Girl kids haven't either: normal east coast people would much rather be an English major at NYU than a d-bag major* at Stanford.
Moral of the story, Stanford is so early 90s. Let's move on, people. 30 Rock has the right idea.
*Disclaimer: I refer only to the graduate degree of d-bag; I can't speak for the undergrads.

As an addendum, I think it's important to note that in HSM3 Berkeley comes out victorious.
