Pretentious Language 101

[aunt_zelda]

We were put into groups during the last part of my morning class today. The other girls in my group spoke so pretentiously I could barely understand what was going on. I had to force myself to contribute ideas to the discussion because I was so busy trying to decipher what they were saying. I felt like I had landed on another planet. What the fuck

The pretentious girls are probably freshman who are nervous and want to seem ~smart~ and ~like college students~. They might loosen up and grow out of it. If not, I'd just roll your eyes at them every time they get too pretentious and I'd keep talking like a normal person. But that's just me. I'm glad you're enjoying your classes.

Hahaha, I hear you on the reading. I never did any of my reading in university. My books were little more than expensive props. Most of the time, I got by fine, but I did pay for it in a couple of my Ed Psych classes. If you can make yourself do the reading, it's probably the best option, but I just couldn't, espcially for my Education courses. It's a habit I'm really going to have to work on for grad school. >.>

Surely the pretentious girls will stop their fancy talk later on, maybe they just wanted to look smart (and failed in doing so, as they look pretentious, hehe)

It's great to heard you're enjoying your classes!
