Senior scramble is an interesting phenomenon. You hear about it but seeing it in action is quite another thing. Getting blindsided by it in the process is quite another thing as well. Frequently, tunnel vision sets in with no warning and *BOOM* next thing you know you’re down. Tonight has given me a lot of food for thought.
Promises promises promises. I heard the saying “give people no room to doubt you.” I know I am far from perfect but it definitely does not make it any easier when something that has been promised and especially more than a couple times just completely turns over and dies. I understand that people are busy and lead their own lives and also that people forget. But for some people it’s a trend. A trend of disappointment. I dislike facades and empty words. I usually will hide it but my attitude and feelings change drastically once trust is no longer there.
“I’m not mad at you for lying. I’m upset I can’t trust you anymore.” Many things have happened over the year that has made me question a lot of things and a few people. I learned in one of my classes that nothing is ever the same. Even if an event is recreated exactly the same, the person has changed from experiences since then and because of the first time the event occurred. We are not like blank slates but more like paper. No matter how hard you erase or white out or whatever, there will always be a mark left behind.
Not exactly joyous bubbly thoughts but definitely some things I will be pondering for awhile. Late night meditation. Anyways, I wanted to share my awkward stories from tonight but I think it’s best to keep these two main encounters on the DL. I can share the third one though. One awkward creepy dude kept wandering around, away from his group, and sitting down with random people or high fiving them. He would sit and sit and sit without saying anything and scooch closer while waiting for you to talk to him. Apparently, he’s HMS. Upon high fiving one of my friends, his buddies start yelling, “Yeah do you know who he is? You should because he’s HMS and will be a doctor. Make friends. WE KNOW YOU WANT TO!” No, we don’t want to. Having thoroughly been creeped out by this fellow, I think people should maybe reconsider, no, should definitely reconsider the stereotype of Harvard always being more socially ept than MIT. Haha well at least it was a good laugh. Poor guy took a nap at some point in a corner before continuing his stalkage.
