Yeah, I feel a little ridiculous about giving to my school even though I owe tens of thousands for that experience (and my school has a 7 billion + endowment!), but I see it as an investment toward eventually being an influential alumna.

I also plan to give to my schools, both my high school and my college, so, no shame there.
