Empty NYU

I’ll admit that out of all my NYU “friends”, all the people I’ve interacted with in the past 2 years, about 20% I’ll consider to be genuine friends. I don’t talk to or confide in everyone for a reason. Some people are your friends while you’re willing to pick up their slack, while you’re in the same organization, while you’re able to give them a discount on their textbooks, and when they need you to support their club event. After that you don’t get a call, text, a friendly email, or anything. I’ve walked by people in kimmel and around campus that I’ve talked with and worked with who have completely ignored me. They walk by and lower their heads and pretend they didn’t see me, or they smile last minute because as a courtesy, as a way of not being a dick they have to. Are you kidding me?! You selfish, self-centered jerk.

Am I taking too much of your precious time by saying hello? Am I making you lose an opportunity that will change you’re life? I don’t expect to be friends with everyone or for everyone to want to be friends with me but don’t pretend to care and be interested in what I have to say if you’re going to ignore me when I’m no longer useful.

From the very beginning I’ve realized that there are a lot of people at NYU who look out for number one. Maybe that works for some people, but I can’t make it my goal to have 20 leadership positions under my belt, if it means treating people like resources and not human beings.

I’m so happy next semester is going to be a quiet and busy one.

A private school in the public service….yea, that’s what we’re about.
