" You ’re right , college is n’t for everybody , but it was for me . "
When it comes to the internet, even the most positive post will receive hate, but that didn’t stopStorm Reidfrom calling out a commenter who tried to rain on her parade.
Storm, who’s most recently known for her work onEuphoriaand her Emmy-winning performance onThe Last of Us, is also a soon-to-be graduate of USC (University of Southern California) from the School of Dramatic Arts. In fact, one of the reasons Stormrevealedshe wouldn’t be returning forSeason 3 ofEuphoriawas so that she could finish her degree.
And if you follow any of her social pages, then you probably know she’s been having the time of her life enjoying everything her university has to offer. So, you can understand how strange it was when she received a comment on TikTok shaming her for attending college.
Earlier this week, a person on TikTokwrote, “College isn’t a flex, success is. And college isn’t needed to be successful. College just pushes people into debt. Unless you’re becoming a doctor or something, a lot of people don’t even use their degrees.”
When I checked to see if this scuttlebutt was in response to a previous television tempest mail , it carry me to a playful picture of Storm dancing with her momma , so the author of what drive this soul to write this unwarranted input still scotch me .
“What do we call my success, plus going to college,” Stormreplied. “My success plus getting a degree? What are we gonna call that? Let me know.”
“And you’re right, college isn’t for everybody, but it was for me. I wanted to go. I felt like I needed to go. I was able to do that and work full time. I wanted to work and I wanted to further my education, so I did that.”
Storm revealed she’s graduating in three weeks (on May 16 to be exact). When she applied, she said the acceptance rate was 12%, and it has currently dropped to 8%.
“I’m all for people having their own opinions,” Storm continued. “But let’s be real. Let’s tap into reality. I did that. And I also got an Emmy while doing it…in college…20 years old…junior in college.”
“So, babe, back to my first question: What do we call being in college — about to graduate actually — what do we call graduating and being successful? What do we call it? I would love to know?”
Many fans came to her defense and applauded her response:
And that’s that on THAT! I love the way she handled it. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion about college, but when you try to make someone who enjoyed college feel bad about their decision, that’s when it becomes rude. You can watch Storm’s full response below:
