I hate spoiled little brats
my roommate can be such an ass.
today she was telling me about parents weekend, which is this weekend, and which always makes me sad. why? because my parents are far away. and my parents can't afford to come down to see me, ever. my parents can't afford to send me to this school at all. but somehow, through loans and the grace of god, they're doing it. it took a second mortgage on our house, but they're doing it. it took making lots of sacrifices and having no money left for them to do anything, let alone pay bills, but they're doing it. why do they do it? because they love me, and because I fought so long and so hard and working my ass off to get to this school. and, because, I thank them for it by trying my hardest here. on days when I don't want to deal with school anymore, I think, "then do it for mom and dad, if not for yourself." I love my parents for doing what they are for me.
but she comes to me today and gushes about how her whole family's coming. yay.
and then she adds, "and my mom told me they're staying at the ritz carlton!!!!1"
and part of my brain exploded in rage,
and then she added on,
"I just think it's so funny, ya know!! because my mom grew up with nothing, she was kinda poor, and now that we're well... rich? and well off and can afford it, she likes to do nice things and stay in nice places!! and I just think it's so funny!!! and I was like, 'oh my god are you serious!!' and she might be lying but I just think that's so funny!!!!!"
and I had to try the hardest I've ever had to try not to do something violent.
so your mom was poor, huh? what's that mean? she couldn't afford caviar or $40,000 a year schools? well hell. that really sucks for her.
well, my parents aren't well off now. they have 2 daughters who they wanted to attend only the best schools. they couldn't afford it, but they did it anyway. and my sister and I, knowing what tremendous gifts we were given, worked our hardest in school. for them.
hearing this from a girl who has obviously no respect for her education and college experience absolutely made me livid. this girl sleeps like the day is long, goes to class only sometimes, can't ever wake up to the sound of her fucking obnoxious alarm, has no scheduling or prioritizing abilities, pulls projects and work out of her ass at the last minute, and doesn't earn the credit she gets from doing such. this is the girl who doesn't clean anything and pick up after herself and who gets her knickers in a knot when other people don't do it for her. this is a girl who LIES to her parents about not being addicted to some sad online game and who doesn't have any clue as to how to socialize, respect people properly, or not be self-absorbed. and the sad part of it is, I'm not the only one who thinks this way about her. now she has a reputation for it.
I'm so done with it. I'M SO GODDAMN DONE.
my biggest problem at LMU is the stuck-up, rich, snobby little shits who have no consideration for people not as rich/pretty/whatever else as them. living with one just makes me want to blow my brains out sometimes.
all I can think is... thank god austin and I are going to have a place in april.
and she should fucking pay for my housing fee, since I never even get to use that room anyway. and since my dishes get wrecked from never being washed or cared for.
fuck, I might just start packing now.
