The Pros and Cons of Being a Legacy

Con 1: The phone call you get from your dad when he sees a yack about you, and yells for five minutes about how you’re ruining his reputation. But really it was all a misunderstanding because you got it erased. 

Pro 1: Mrs. Machtley has a conversation with you and gives you a hug every time she sees you.

Con 2: The fact that President Machtley can never ever remember you even when your dad is sitting right next to you. But you still love him just the same.

Pro 2: Some of the old professors recognize your last name and know your dad. Then are very nice to you.

Con 3: When you go to class and see one of your dad’s friends they always stop to ask you how you’re liking Bryant. It usually gets awkward and you end up being late to class.

Pro 3:  Knowing your way around campus because you basically grew up here as a young child, and then people just end up following you around.

Con 4: Knowing anything you do will get back to your dad no matter what, so you have to be very careful so you don’t embarrass yourself or him.

Pro 4: Some of your dad’s friends have known you since you were a child and you can go see these people at any time with any problem you might be having.
