Stephany Her RoyalHighness Unmasked?

Stephany Her RoyalHighness Unmasked?

Two days ago, IvyGate reported that an incoming Princeton freshman, identifying herself only as "Stephany Her RoyalHighness," posted in Princeton’s Class of 2012 Facebook group and commanded her fellow classmates to “revel” in the fact that “[they] are better” than everyone else.

 

Naturally, half the Internet found her pompous, arrogant tirade incredibly hilarious, and the now-infamous post spread throughout the blogosphere.

 

While Gawker successfully acquired several photos of the somewhat deranged student, the poster’s full name and actual affiliation with the Ivy League university were never confirmed.

 

Until now, that is.

 

The real name of “Stephany Her RoyalHighness” is allegedly Stephany Xu, the salutatorian of John Paul II High School. According to an article published in People Newspapers, Ms. Xu is attending Princeton in the fall and will either major in economics or child psychology.

 

Wait child psychology?!

 

Based on her Facebook post (if it was, in fact, actually written by her), I don’t think she should be near college-aged people, let alone children.

 

Then again – maybe, she wants to study child psychology not to help others, but to help herself.

 

In that case, I’m all for it. 

 

The full post:

 

Dear Class of 2012,

 

I only hold you to the same standards I hold myself to and I HATE being disappointed.

Having said that, do not let ANYONE tell you that you are not better than them, because you are. We are the elite, we are the 0.0000001% of the world who have spent the last four years of our lives either blackmailing or working our asses off. There was something that got you here—whether it was daddy’s money or your #1 ranking in the nation, you are here and you are better. You have mercilessly beaten out your friends, your girlfriends, your boyfriends, your brothers, your sisters and every one you have loved. Don’t apologize for it, revel in it. YOU. ARE. BETTER. Why deny it?

 

Don’t be held back now—you are in your prime. Starting from the first day you step on campus, there is no past, there is no judgment. You are beautifully brand new. Wherever you came from, whatever you have been through, whoever you knew: that counts for nothing now. It only matters who you are now.

 

Try everything once: Pilates, squash, open mic night, tantric sex. What do you have to lose? When you risk everything, you have anything to gain.


If someone says you can’t. Don’t answer. Walk away and prove them wrong.

Laws are nothing but restrictions: break every one you possibly can. The only order is the one that you make. The only resolution you’ll ever find is within yourself. The only satisfaction you’ll ever discover is the one you create. Never look to others for leadership, take control yourself. Never have regrets, because at some point, what you did is what you wanted. Don’t just take responsibility for your actions, take pride in every little mistake, every little stumble because it just means it won’t happen again.

 

We all have weakness, accept it. But to be able to overcome it—that’s where we’re different. We don’t let it hold us back. Pain is weakness leaving the body. That ache in your muscles? The ripped papers? The taste of blood on your lips? The broken condom? The fatigue in your bones? Those are the victories. Life is a beautiful game and you sure as hell are winning. Just make sure it stays that way.

 

You beat out everyone else’s best. Now, it’s about beating you own best. I know it’s not weakness or failure you fear but your own brilliance, your own divinity. You ask yourself, who are you think to that you are beautiful? Extraordinary? You have every right, because that’s exactly what you are. Never fear your potential. Never fear your pinnacle.

 

Don’t take things so seriously, but don’t take them so lightly either. You trip up and fall? Don’t lick your wounds—display them. It means you’re a competitor. You’re bleeding? You better hope you’re not anywhere close to carpet because there’s a lot more cuts where that came from. This is life— you fall down seven times, you get up eight. This is life—there is no such thing as failure, only a 100th try. This is life—no one gets out alive anyway, so you better hope you ****ing live before you’re dead.

 

Power cannot be given, only taken, for the taking of power is empowerment itself. Power is only tiring to those who don’t have it, so make sure you always have the upper hand. Neither fatigue nor excuses are weaknesses that we allow. You think Duke Wellington said “I’m too hung over to go to battle” the morning of Waterloo? You think D-Day was on June 6th because someone procrastinated from May 30th?

 

You don’t like something? Stop bitching. CHANGE it.
You’ve conquered all? Stop wondering. RAISE the bar.
Someone beat you? Stop rolling in self-pity. Get back up and OBLITERATE them.

Indulge. Enjoy. Fester.

 

Boys and Girls, there are no rules to this game. Someone crosses you? It’s BURN BITCH BURN. But remember there are very few people out there worth an excess of energy or emotion. Pick the right ones.

 

This is the death of dynasty. The authorities may make the rules, they may think they have control, but we cannot forget we are Princeton. We are her blood and her bile. And we are the generation they have never seen before.


We are the anti-Christs to save the world from the mercy of God, the self-pity that festers within the masses. Religion is the opiate of the masses, so drug them until they are nothing but slaves at your will. You have deserved this. You are Hitler the fourth, Alexander the Great the Second, Napoleon the Fifth, here to destroy the world we know.
 

We are history because we are the winners.

 

And don’t let them forget it.

 

My love now and forever,

Your highness.
