PISCATAWAY — What’s worth more? A commencement speech by a Nobel-winning novelist? Or a pair of Q&A sessions with one of reality television’s biggest stars? At Rutgers University, Snooki edges out Toni Morrison by a couple thousand dollars. Last month, Rutgers officials said they had booked Morrison — author of "Beloved," "Song of Solomon" and other novels — to speak in a 52,000-seat football stadium at commencement in May. She will be paid $30,000, marking the first time Rutgers has written a check for a graduation speaker. Tonight, Rutgers students said they had also made a big-name booking. Snooki — the "Jersey Shore" star whose real name is Nicole Polizzi — appeared at two question-and-answer sessions at the Livingston Student Center in Piscataway.
Her fee: $32,000.
I'm sitting here eating PBJ sandwiches for dinner 3 nights a week. Somewhere on College Ave there's a few dudes that have been living off of hot pockets and Ramen Noodles all semester. Why do we do this? So we can have enough money to pay our tuition and actually have life on the weekends. I mean you got to save money somewhere right? So why peeps are struggling to financially make ends meet, Rutgers has the genius idea to Pay Snooki $32,000 to speak to students? You fuckin kiding me? What the fuck is Snooki going to tell me that I can apply to my life? Unless she can help me bang out Sammi Sweatheart or tell me how get a job and make some god dam money with my degree I really have no use for her.
Dam you Rutgers. Just when we were starting to get close you play me like this.
