Private HIGH

I'm not sure how many of you reading this ever attended, or are still in attendance, at a New York City Private Prep school... but I am someone who once did. I recently stumbled upon a book, which had me laughing but also sent a chill down my spine because of well... how factual it just is. The book, Academy X, is based off a very brainiac and money-driven school, where in fact a few friends of mine to this day once attended. The school though I'll leave nameless, as the title of the book itself does; but for those who do know the Private school world the book's cover colors might give it away. Whether you did or didn't attend such a school I reccomend picking it up for a good laugh and quick summer read, as oppose to the next time you're thinking about watching an episode of Gossip Girls on your itunes. It gets to the nitty gritty of drug use to stay up & study and finding anyway to get by in order to be accepted to that Ivy League in skies. The book is also, for the record, written by a professor of the school who for obvious reasons is no longer employed and won't MANN up to the school's name.



Postscript: I did not attend this school, but my high school's blue & white pride wasn't very far off, for our schools were in the same "league", and a large part of me is... proud to admit that.
