Hey everyone! This sort of a vent post so beware! Previously, I was a nursing major for 2 years and after it just did not work out for me, I decided to change to public health. During those 2 years I've noticed that cliques still exist! I thought cliques would be over by the time of high school but no they're still around. I just don't understand. Okay, so the cliques at universities might not be quite as bad as it was in my middle school. I've been friends with different groups of people and let me tell you, it's pretty stressful. I'm also friends with people in other majors and the times I've spent with them are super cool and relaxing! When I was with some of my nursing friends, all we talked about was tests, science, more science, grades, GPA's, and stuff like that. Yeah it was pretty boring.
My boyfriend is in this special medical program made up of 35 people. Sorry he doesn't want me calling it out so I'll just leave it as that. As I've said, its a special program for people with the brains for science. Meaning that there are going to be types of people that are douches and bitches. I've met with some of those douches and bitches. Trust me, it isn't fun to be looked down on. Why do they make you feel stupid? Because I'm in the public health program and they're in the special medical program. Plus they're probably thinking, why did he (my boyfriend) pick her? She's just a regular student. Yes I said it! Some people that give their program a bad rep call the other students in the other majors "the regs AKA regulars." The nursing program I used to be in is way more intense than this medical program. But I have never heard any of the nursing students call other students "the regs." Yes, you [medical kids] are in a special program, but you still do all the other normal college student activities on campus! I don't understand what makes you think you are so special!
I want to say some names here but I'll just use the nicknames I have for them. I've met with Polly pocket girl at a table with my boyfriend. I've also met a guy K who is extremely greedy over his food and seeks revenge with people who he holds grudges against. So that day, my boyfriend pretended to want some of K's sushi. K didn't even flinch because he doesn't like sharing when it comes to his food. I took it seriously and took ONE LITTLE PIECE and gave it to him. K gave me a look with his beady eyes. I tried to explain that sharing is caring. Mind you, he had 2 containers of sushi and a giant meal plan. Sharing one piece isn't that hard. So we were trying to mentally calculate the price of one piece of sushi in that container. I can't remember the numbers, but the answer was 60 cents per sushi. I said 75 cents because I was guessing and I suck at mental math. Ms. Polly Pocket was like "No, its 60 cents." Her facial expression was saying "that was so easy and you're stupid if you can't do a simple math problem. That's why I'm in this program and you're not." She talked to me like she knew everything and thought that I was stupid. You know those types of people who think they know everything and talk to other people as if they're dumb? Yes those people. I still dislike her and I know a bunch of people that dislike her. I can't believe she actually has friends.
It has been 1 month since the sushi stealing and K still holds a grudge against me and tells the incident over and over to a bunch of people in his program. Every time we see each other, he reminds me of it. If I had a bowl of soup and an oreo smash cake slice, he would say, "Can I take that?" Of course I say, "no," because I'm a poor commuter. I feel like he is trying to make people dislike me and after hearing that he's been repeating the same story to people, I've felt a lot of sadness. I cried about it to my boyfriend and I've cried myself to sleep last night. I'll admit that it is tearing me apart. It might be to the point where I might break down as soon as we cross paths. But there is a small group of people that are extremely nice and friendly. Love you guys! It is just those two people for now that really bother my life at the moment.
By the way, last year I paid my own tuition, applied for my grants, paid for my food, paid for my books, and all my mom did was pay for car repairs and gas. Those special medical students have everything paid by their parents and some of them probably never worked a day in their life. Do you know what it feels like working 44 hours every week for 3 months in the summer? Not being able to have fun like everyone else? You have no right to look down and me and think that I'm stupid just because of how I act and what my major is. You treat someone how you want to be treated. You treat me like trash, you get the horns.
