That thing about not knowing where I stand in my program amongst my fellow classmates? Yeah, scratch that. I know I sound really cocky saying this, and my cockiness will probably bite me in the ass down the road, but I'm pretty sure I'm smarter than most of the people in my program. Call it a hunch.
Today, I overheard a conversation in one of my classes. Girl #1 was 21 and never had a drink before in her life. Girl #2, astounded that such a thing was possible, could not fucking shut up about it.
"I still can't believe you've never drank! That's like so crazy!"
That was verbatim; I stopped taking notes and instead wrote down some of her more memorable quotes. I wanted to make sure I captured the right level of condescension. After Girl #2 was done make Girl #1 feel stupid for choosing not to drink, she went on to rub it in her face about all the fun she was missing out on and her preference of alcohol as if she were some authority on it.
"I hate those apple flavored liqeurs, but I love Bacardi!"
"Have you ever been to a pit party? You should go! It's filled with drunks and it's like, so fun!"
I could barely stand it. I wanted to simultaneously tell the girl to shut up and defend Girl #1's choice to not drink, but I'm already pretty low on popularity points as it is and Girl #1 is a big girl. She can stand up for herself.

I hope you will continue telling us more funny stuff about what your classmates say.
Maybe you can tape your classes
Is that a polite way of saying girl #1 is ugly and not worth sticking up for?
That's low man, even for you.
