Some people would describe me as narcissistic. But is that really fair? I will admit that I exhibit an excessive sense of self-importance, but this just masks my low self-esteem, which often results in manipulative behavior.
If I’m going to be honest, I will say that my arrogance requires constant admiration from my sycophants, which is just a fancy word to describe the students that I recruit with outlandish sums of scholarship money.
The problem is that a lot of students left this past semester. I’m not sure why, maybe they did not want to be my trophies any longer. Now I have to enlist more tools to feed my ego.
