Odious and pushy people
Sometimes, particularly in school and unfortunately in Uni, you meet a few people and have had the odd person in your life, that was so great, likeable and great to be around, you grow accustomed to a certain 'standard' in your relationships. What then seems really tragic is that you don't quite get it together with these great people, they move on elsewhere, and you're stuck in a situation of being around the most odious, devious, self-seeking little ****ers. Moreover, in an environment where these types thrive. When I encounter this behaviour it makes me so sad, as I can envisage how beautiful things can be around the right people, a standard of honesty and likebality that I'm used to. Not very articulate, but does anyone see what I mean?

I've met the odd person who's so likeable, but unfortunately yes. And I thought I was the only one to think Uni was about being surrounded by asswipes?

I tend to see myself being surrounded by insincere, untrustworthy *******s who I'm competing against all the time. Not what could be described as 'happiness'

People I meet either seem to be pleasant and boring or unpleasant and interesting.
Interesting...depends how you class 'unpleasant'. I don't mind overt negativity or anything, i just cant stand shallow, smarmy, self-promoting insincere bastards who try to ingratiate themselves by slagging others off
I imagine that what you find most annoying is that most of the time it actually works.
I have a friend (well, that's a bit strong a word really) who is shallow, smarmy, self-promoting, insincere, quite possibly illegitimate
, slags everyone off and so forth. And although a few of the more easy-going characters in my little social circle at home notice this, his friends (quite often the object of his ridicule) are blind to it.
I suppose it just goes to show - so long as you have a certain quality (charisma or confidence verging on arrogance... whatever it is) you can get away with being a complete arsewit. I believe politicians have been proving this point for centuries.

i am not lookin forward to a 'fake' environment *LOU* Ah, but are the ones you see at open days necessarily the ones who actually got in/are going? Maybe you just remember them because they're annoying or something and when you get there they won't be there, or at least they'll be in a minority. I'm at a college in a uni which is *traditionally* held to be stuffed full of posh rich snobby asswipes and I've met hardly any. I assume there must be some somewhere as everywhere has its quota, but they're presumably hanging out together somewhere else that I don't go, leaving me with all the nice people (and a feeling of immense rage every time someone insults my college and calls it snobby and stuck up, GRRRRR!!)

i am not lookin forward to a 'fake' environment *LOU* Just go in with an open mind and don't judge them on 1st impressions. They probably won't be judging you.
