Application to University is now officially open. Needless to say, there has been a lot of discussion regarding "results" and "university". I have not applied to any yet, but I think I will do so, that is, once I actually have the inspiration to write the admission essay.
As I skipped from blog to blog, reading about the emotions that others are experiencing now, I can't help but feel strongly about certain things that seem to pop up here and there. One of these are the supposed segregation in a class between the "smarties" and the "mediocres". Why the need for this distinction? (haha pun.) Many of my smartie friends often try to play down their results because they feel that it is the only way to get into their circle of friends without being viewed as a freak of nature. However, stereotypes still prevail, and the"mediocres" will always feel that they are inferior and think that the smarties are just spiting them. Herein lies the dilenma: If you act normal, people think u are proud. If you act humble, people think that you are making a dig at them. If you ARE humble, people think that you are just acting. So tell me, HOW SHOULD THEY BEHAVE TO PLEASE YOU?
For me, I don't really give 2 hoots about what people think about me. I used to think so, and it hurts really badly. Of course, constructive critism is always welcomed, especially from my close friends. *smiles sweetly*
