College Life

I can't actually say it's got less pressure because the courses are much more demanding. Passing grade is 81, instead of the usual 77. And the College of Nursing (where I'm in) really has high standards. Many professors have already mentioned about how the juniors were screened down. From originally 7 classes, only 4 are left now. But my goal, to be a dean's lister (inspired??! hehe. Good luck to me!).
But I can say that college life is much much more fun than high school (or any of those other lower levels), at least for my side. That's because you're free to do whatever you want to do. Nobody tells you what to do and what not to do (of course this doesn't give you the authority to put others in harm though). You're even free to leave school premises during your breaks. COOL-ness! I mean, it's not like there's anywhere to go near my school, but the comfort in knowing that is really nice. I easily can (and do) go home for lunch, or if I ever have long breaks. And another cool thing? You can actually bring your cellphone (but you can't use it during class hours of course, unless you ask the professor's permission). Everything's so great! Only annoying part is there are a lot of gays in my course, ugh. Hate em.
Weird thing though is that I still haven't seen one of my good friends in that school, she's only in junior high school though. It's just so hard for our schedules to meet. Awwww.
Till here...

Well, okay. I don't intend to be mean in any way but let me just point out how irritated I am to these kinds of people. It's now I notice I'm highly allergic to people without any personality of their own. I know quite a few people like this but there'e this one who just pushes it to the next level.

This person was a friend of mine till I noticed that she just kept repeating every damn word I say, especially those I say to one particular guy friend of mine.. and then I thought of the possibilities of her liking him... how unlucky that is of him. Naturally, this guy and I share common ground already since we're friends, right? That includes personal jokes... those types wherein only both of you would get the meaning since there's a story behind it..

There were lots of instances wherein she would laugh along with us when we laugh at the "past"... like for instance, if i say "sunod", would you guys understand the laughter between the lines? i presume not. But this girl I'm talking about, she actually laughed along with us and even repeated what I had just said and laughed again. Just goes to prove she wasn't laughing AT us (which might have been better), but rather was laughing WITH us... a fake laughter.

There was even one time I was talking with my best friend, scheduling our summer movie sked, and she joined in our conversation. For the sake of etiquette, we asked if she wanted to come along too.. and she did. WHEW! BOY! she followed us EVERY SINGLE STEP of the way! It's a good thing we didn't go there together so we got to have pics of our own lang, WITHOUT her. She always includes herself in photos she shouldn't even be a part of (I've got lots of good photos that have gone to waste cos of this).

Another was, I was getting the number of another guy friend... and without even asking, she took out her phone to get the number as well... WTF??? Where did THAT come from??!

How I HATE those types of people. People who try hard to be everything they're not. People who try to make themselves fit in when they don't!
