At first I thought people here were genuinely gregarious because of the course itself. Its common sense to increase your social network and what better place than these people who will be your future competitors or allies? 

But theres the harsh cruelty behind it all. I thought this was the small bad in the major good- it turns out to be the exact opposite. 

For example person B about person A"ugh I can't stand her! Why is she being a bitch and purposely ignoring me? Just say to my face if you unhappy lah!" and online they're the sweetest pies ever. Person A about person B "she keep go out, never care about project then the rest tank all lah?" then they meet up during the weekends to study. 

This is just one example of the many. So I decided to ask one of them "why are you friend's with someone you hate?". And what's the answer....... "it works like that if you want to survive school and get a perfect GPA". 

So folks, this is how it "works". So I did a little experiment on my own (hehe I like experiments). Usually I'd wear a sweater/tshirt with pants and shoes. *inserts boy insults* so I wore a maxi skirt (it was so comfortable Im wearing it more often) and so *inserts religion insults*. Then I wore shorts (just above knee) and then drumrolls *inserts why you no respect your religion insults*. Recently I coincidentally had a matching outfit with a classmate and you could see the disgust in her face I tell you if you were me, you really could see it. Jokingly someone said "you wear extra shirt right? Good, now take the outer coat off". 

You see, I'm not the only one who is pressured to fit into the trends of mini skater skirts. I find them pretty but I don't want to use them, it's a choice. I love camps but not the ones where you the main aim is to socialize and play games. 

"Suzana, C actually realizes that I only have two shoes" That weekend, he bought new shoes. 

I've seen boys and girls panic on the spot when someone insults the clothing that they have planned carefully each week. THAT'S SOMETHING NEW I LEARNT. from shoe to lip colour it's coordinated and infact, they look good. But hey, let other students be how they want to be la I wear same sweater three days in a row because I paid for it and I like it and I tie my hair without a comb in class BECAUSE I LIKE IT. Usually I'd play "too poor to afford a comb" but what they don't know is where do I rush to (while they splurge on restaurants in town) after school.
