Speaking of Malkin. I have a co-worker that went to Oberlin with her. Her classmates are shocked at her celebrity. Oberlin is one of the best small liberal arts schools in the country. According to my friend she was considred a bit of a flake and a party girl on campus and that she was she not very popular on Campus. I guess she caused a lot of bad blood writing for the school newspaper which is where she began her right wing activism. Considering Oberlin was the first college in the US to accept African Americans and Women, I can see why.
Point being Oberlin is a serious school (My friend is an attny, graduate of UofM Law School) and most students there go onto top tier grad programs. Their conservatory is also one of the best in the nation and serious music students attend there.
So having went to school with her he's shocked at her success as she was considered a flake by her classmates.
What college kids are not "party girls or guys? As to the thinking her a "flake"? You provided no rationale for your friends opinion. The only thing that made her stand out was her so called college "right wing" activism. Is that what he considered "flakey"?
