Eyes wide open
Is it possible to make friends without the intention of networking? Or getting good grades without keeping score? When can I attend a corporate event out of pure interest without being blamed for hiding something up my sleeve? I feel like I've unknowingly entered a world with cold unsympathetic acquaintances. Some people can get so competitive and tactless it's incomprehensible. I look at them and wonder how they were as children, wonder if there was a time when they weren't so unfeeling. Did they grow up with someone telling them their gpa will define them? Or that the only way to feel good is to crush someone else indefinitely?
