link hereThe. Ivy. League. Sucks. Period.
The people here are so competitive, so obnoxious, so obsessed over their freaking resume that it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You can either live to work, or work to live. Seems that absolutely EVERYBODY here wants to do the former once they're out of college, am I the only one who just wants to get a job for the sake of paying for her life so that I can travel, have good friends, and just have fun in life? I mean, if your life, the full 23 hrs and 56 minutes that it takes for this planet to spin around its bloody axis, is based around nothing but your resume and how it'll affect you job, you're not living. And if there's one thing I know it's this: THERE IS NO POINT IN LIVING IF YOU CAN'T FEEL ALIVE.
The classes are all based upon sucking up during office hours and I can't believe that in one calss 70% is a fail. WTF? I mean, that's like freakin insane. Okay, so maybe i DID get a perfect GPA and have semi-divine-rock-star-status back in high school and I didn't expect to maintain it all through college but what hurts is that I am going to be alone all over again.
In high school I was alone because I was different, the one who wanted to study and get good grades. Now, in college, I smell that I'm going to be alone because I actually want to live. Of course I'll still do my assignments and get my work done, but if you go to lunch with somebody... come freakin ON... they DON'T have to be doing their homework that is due FOUR DAYS FROM NOW! That is fucking bullshit if you ask me. At least eat your chocolate chip cookie in peace.
The only thing keeping my sanity together is this - if I do these years to the best of my ability then maybe, just MAYBE my degree shall be good enough to say "screw you" to grad school and just get a job afterwards. I'm sick and tired of studying, college is useless, and if the world bases its values upon who can cram more of a calculus book into their heads at 2am then I'm sorry, the world is screwed. There is absolutely no other explanation.
It's my life and I'm going to live it to the fullest. Yes, it does mean doing the nerding about and all but I ain't gonna just care about my freakin resume. I've been on campus for a month and nobody wants to go downtown or anything. It's insane. Period.
