| Going Uni again this september and wondering how I'll fit in. Just thinking about people in and around my age (18-23ish) and how obnoxious they are. Every time I go on Facebook/Twitter I see the same things again and again. Why are the youth in this country (particularly students) so obnoxious? I remember going to Uni at 19 and thinking what a bunch of pathetic individuals I was around. Everyone was having a front and did whatever it took to conform to being in a group. I felt like I saw a different side to humanity, it was awful. This is a big reason I despised University, because of the sheep like mentality and absolute lack of any sincerity. It was like a bunch of Frankie Cocozza's/Helen Flanagan's on the loose. Every time I go on Facebook/Twitter I see the same things again and again. The whole student culture is so in your face on that site. Everyone posing and posting snaps to look cool. People reposting twitter posts to look cool or knowledgable. Showing off etc etc University was like a real life version of Facebook, and not about the study whatsoever .. and I went to a top uni. I found myself feeling alienated from these people. I couldn't relate to their ingenuine selves. It didn't feel natural. I found that people who were working were much more with it, and genuine. There wasn't any false pretences or showing off. Suddenly people seemed real again. But I'm going back in September to study and just wondering if others have done the same as me/share similar views? .. and how you coped. I can't see myself hanging out with these childlike 18 year olds again. | |||
