Mistake #1
and she mentioned to me how she had decided she'd go to college since she had found out that there really were no jobs out there that she would truly enjoy without a college degree. She apparently was sick of working fast food.
Congratulations, it only took you four years!
Being the type of person I am, it was nice to hear that she'd finally matured a little from her, "Fuck society, fuck school, fuck everything I'm too cool for this" mentality and had come to terms that in order to get where she wants to go, she needs to go to college, or at least a trade school- something. I had told her when we graduated where I was going and she just laughed at me,
"LOL Oregon State? Why the hell would you go there? What makes you think that you're going to do any better with a degree anyway? Colleges just take your money and you still end up unemployed. Waste of time."
Ohhh I dunno... where have I heard that getting a college degree helps out career wise...
- Every financial education class I ever attended.
- Every school counselor I ever saw.
- Every book or article I've ever read that had "Tips to Financial Success" anywhere in the title or body text.
- Etc. Etc.
I asked her what she was studying, since after knowing her attitude all through high school, I had no idea what the hell she'd be interested in studying. She excitedly told me that she was studying
Interior Design
Which I thought was absolutely fabulous. I can totally see that being something she'd get into. I was very excited for her. I made sure to let her know how proud I was of her for getting her head in the game and doing what she loved. Then she started talking about how great she was doing in school. She apparently was getting straight A's and B's and having a blast in her classes. Once again I was very excited for her, and very impressed. I used to get A's and B's, before I got to my Junior year and it became four times as hard. She mentioned how she didn't understand how people kept telling her how college was so hard, because of course, it wasn't.
This is when she started dropping little piss bitch remarks that made me want to smack her in the vag with a hammer.
"Yeah I remember how you'd mentioned how college is so much harder than high school. I think you're just not trying hard enough or something. College is easy."
Excuse me, asshole, you're taking INTERIOR DESIGN. Pardon me for thinking that perhaps 400 level Biochemistry courses and 400 level Organic Chemistry courses were harder than "Business 101" and "What Colours Go Fabulous Together 202."
"I mean, you also say you're sooo busy but I have so much free time even AFTER I do my homework, are you managing your time at all? I mean, come on."
How many credits are you taking? Like 6? What is your homework, "Draw a picture of a room with a couch in it and matching drapes!!!!11!" That and you're taking your classes at a fucking community college. You know what's funny about that? The people here tell me "If you want to take an easier course, take it at Linn Benton CC." So really, you are taking easy classes, with an easy number of credits AND YOU AREN'T WORKING.
"I think that you were just trying to make it sound like you were working harder than you are."
This is when I wished I could punch her THROUGH my phone.
Everyone I know here would vouch for the fact that when I say that college kids live off of coffee, don't sleep, have zero time when they have a job, and feel like they are going to die nearly 24/7.
Just because you decided that interior design is equivalent to a biology, pharmacy, or engineering major, doesn't mean it is.
You're going to "Kindercollege" you fucking bitch. Shut the fuck up and take a real class.
Think me up a designer shower curtain to wrap your dead body in.
...Oh and a designer shovel to bury you with, too.

Word...and might I add...SNATCH!
I love interior design and I know there is a lot more to it then people think. I mean I love culinary arts, thats my passion. Cooking also has a lot more to it then people think...but wow to even have someone say that is just incredibly crazy. I'm not stupid enough to say that interior design is easy and pointless, but it is def. a job of frivalousness and passion compared to jobs like doctors and such. I mean that goes for a lot of other things as well like artists, and cooks. Once again compared to scientists, inventors, etc. Im not going to say that this girl isn't working hard, is lazy, is in a pointless job, and took the easy route. Cause I don't think that. But I don't think she has any right to say those things about your life...I know how hard you work. You are incredible. Everyones experience is different and everyones lifes are different. People are different and deserve the right to follow their dreams and do what they want to do with their lives. No not all degrees are equal or classes, colleges, jobs. Is it fair that a a rapper can get paid more to spit some shitty rhymes then a doctor could to do a heart transplant...or a person can get paid to be a pornstar and but a homemaker doesn't ever get a dime. No its not... sometimes the world isn't fair...but there is a place in this world for plummers, doctors, bontonists and interior designers, artists, musicians and maybe even professional nose pickers. Not all jobs are equal and not all degrees...but its not even about that...its about thwe fact that people can't support each other and pat each other on the back. Why can't a doctor appreciate his dog walker and a gas station cashier appreciate their dentist. You were happy for her and the things she has going in her life, why can't she be understanding for the things you have going in yours. She's not you and she will never be in your shoes. She has no right to say what college is and how wrong you are doing it. College is different for everyone...just like life. Everyone needs to try and stop judging. Love and support. After all I'm sorry you are both following your dreams and working hard for a future. Everyone looks down on someone always thinking their life is harder, they work harder, study harder. And maybe they do sometimes...your experience is harder then hers and somewhere there is a struggling med student who's experience might be harder then yours is...but everyone should still support each other. She should have been talking to you like that she should have said "I'm sorry college is so hard for you. I am grateful to have had an easy experience in college. I'm really proud of you and look up to how hard you are working." Then you say basically the same thing back and huggy hug, smiley smiles. Man, I'm sorry beans. I'm proud of you and I think what your doing is incredible. <3
God that felt long...i skyped that shit. There Are probablya 1000 errors, sorry. I hope my overall point was "pfft stufu what everyone thinks, you rock socks, love ya!" Lol!
