Ateneans are proud to be Ateneans. That's fine.
That's wonderful.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
In the same way, LaSallians are proud to be from La Salle. And the UP Maroons are proud to have studied in UP, and the students from FEU, UST, Adamson, National University,and the University of the East, I'm willing to bet, are proud of being from their respective schools.
That's natural. That's fine.
But there's something wrong with the way Ateneans project their pride. To them it's like they're better because they're from Ateneo. When they are defeated, they look at the trophy they failed to win and then they look at the winner and they say, "At least, we're from THE Ateneo". And the rest of us look at them and think, "So what?"
The worst part is these jerks don't get it that we don't get what they're so @#%$ proud of. They say stuff like "I have a diploma from Ateneo" or "I graduated from Ateneo". Big @#%$ deal. We all have or will have diplomas. We all graduated or will graduate from somewhere.
What are they trying to say? That their diploma is better than ours? Why the @#%$ would that be? Because they come from an extremely proud school? But what exactly are they proud of? Losing? In what field does Ateneo excel above all others? I really want to know. They're obviously not the most athletic school. There is no evidence that they're better than any of the top schools in the Philippines, academically speaking.
Where did they get that idea anyway? That they have superior academics? What kind of grass are they growing in those fields? And why is their administration letting them smoke it? And why do they refer to their school as "THE Ateneo". What kind of @#%$ up English are they teaching there? Not even the biggest universities in the United States refer to themselves this way. Ever hear anyone say that they graduated from "THE Harvard" or that they have a degree from "THE Stanford". If we follow their logic, then I guess we can now refer to "THE Adamson" and "THE Far Eastern".
You motherfuckers. Where did they teach you to use the word "THE" anyway? What @#%$ of a professor told you it's okay to use "THE" before a proper noun? Do you know when "THE" is commonly used before a proper noun? When you refer to something totally distinct. Like "THE Michael Jordan". So when you motherfuckers refer to "THE Ateneo", I guess we should all just assume that you're referring to that school on Katipunan with the turkey on the gym? And not the Law School or some Ateneo school God-knows-where. Because otherwise, we'd have to reach the conclusion that you actually believe your school to be above the rest. And that, motherfuckers, is just pure arrogance considering there is NO proof that it is.
Believe it, assholes. Only in Ateneo is Ateneo "THE Ateneo". Everywhere else, Ateneo's just another school. Don't go claiming you're better unless you can prove it. And no, shitheads, it's not enough to say you're from "THE Ateneo" because like I said, only you give a @#%$. All that means is that you have decent grades (maybe), have moneyed parents and/or know the right people.
But that's most of us too, motherfuckers. Except we don't have a bad attitude. Don't call yourself our archrivals. Archrivals are supposed to be on the same level. You are not. While we're dancing with the angels, you're about a hundred million levels below @#%$. "Men for others," my ass.
You dickheads are the most self-absorbed group of myopic outcasts I've ever seen. Just ask any school. People may hate De La Salle because we kick ass. But they definitely hate you because you guys are just that...asses.
