Woman Stands Up for Herself Against In-Laws with Witty Comebacks When They Belittle Her for Celebrating Earning Her First Degree: 'If it's so easy, why don't you do it?'

Welcome, gossip-loving goddesses. Earning a degree is no easy task. It takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication to get the honor of walking across that stage with a funky hat and billowing robes to receive a diploma. Those who do not choose to pursue higher education may not know how many sleepless nights, gallons of coffee, and hours spent studying new material are required in order to complete a university degree. While there is no shame in going a different route after high school, it doesn't requite any more schooling to know that putting other people down for being proud of their personal accomplishments is completely unacceptable.

In our story today, our protagonist manages to clap back in real time when her partner's family tries to downplay her newly-acquired degree. Using witty comebacks that many of us would only be able to come up with in the shower months after the altercation, she deftly defends herself. Scroll down to get a full account of the family feud.
