So I sent my friend a part of my supplement for USC (about why I would like to study there, etc) and it talked about how great its journalism programs were, how I enjoy the idea of the Trojan family, the school unity/spirit there, the networking opportunities, and so on. And then today she talked to me about why she wants to apply to USC and gives me the EXACT SAME THING I SAID IN THE SUPPLEMENT I SENT TO HER and then has the nerve to ask me why I personally wanted to go to USC.

Can we not?

She obviously knew my reasons as I detailed them in the short response I sent to her and now she's asking me about how I feel about USC as if I were on the same field as her: just discovering what USC has to offer.

Please. I've been pining after this school since I helped my sister move in during her freshman year there five years ago. I've done my research and know more than vague bastardizations of what other people have told me about it. If anyone's been a close friend to me, they'll know why I admire USC and exactly why I want to go there.

It just bothered me that she asked so nonchalantly as if she were disregarding that this was my dream school that I had basically convinced her to apply to because I thought it was so great. I'm the one that got her into the idea of applying to USC and now she's going to turn the tables as if I needed any more convincing? Let's not.

Watch. In a few months I'm going to get rejected from USC and she's going to get accepted and talk to me about how excited she is to learn there when the program offered for her major ISN'T EVEN ONE OF ITS MORE RENOWNED PROGRAMS.

Yeah, yeah, lots of people want to apply to USC and it doesn't belong to just me, I get it. But it just bothers me when someone who has done nothing but scrape the superficial surface of something is suddenly into the same thing you've been into way longer than them and act as if you knew nothing. Like, really?

ALSO: Today someone in my AP Econ class asked if Quebec was in Canada and I almost killed myself. Then when told it was, he remarked, "Oh well I was just asking because it sounds French."

WELL SHIT, REALLY? IT'S NOT LIKE CANADA ONCE BELONGED TO FRANCE OR ANYTHING. OH MY GOD ARE YOU LITERALLY STUPID.

Ugh.
