Is it normal i value looking cool above my education?
In a recent group activity in uni, I arrived late to the class and happened to sit too far away from acquaintances and cool looking people, and when grouping up occurred, I ended up in a group of ESL (English Second Language) Asians who each had rank peach-fuzz mustaches. This was effectively a reject group, and it was pretty fucking embarrassing being seen with them, I avoided talking to them as much as I could. To make things worse, we had to name our groups, and a cooler group than mine named themselves "The Rejects", so I was effectively the butt of that joke, not that it was directed at me or my group.
Even if I wasn't too unwell to show up the following week to present with that same group, I would have wagged anyway, even though there was "5 marks" at stake. If I was offered a thousand dollars to present with that group, maybe then I wouldn't say no straight away, but in reality, I don't believe it to be worth 5 marks.
I also avoid making notes in lectures, as only lame people do that, that being the well known fact it is.
Like everyone who has been through high school, I know that coolness is everything. I don't think it's possible to be happy without being cool - without being at that upper plane of existence as constantly as possible. "Doing well" can take a side-seat - any idiot can "do well". I'm just saying what everyone else is thinking, instead of lying and saying I don't give a crap like everyone who is beyond trying to be cool because of how very lame they are.
Who else feels this way?
