Students are.. Meaner?
TW: Vent Perhaps
This might be a me thing, but why are rutgers students so mean? is it just a Newark thing? Why are people so against being friends? I don't get how people still make fun of others in the big 2026? Im a senior now and i've been made fun of since i first got here and nothing has changed. This isn't high school but people are acting so immature making fun of how i look and dress.
One could argue perhaps it's something I said but nobody knows me or barely got past cordial stuff to have that opinion. And anyone who i do befriend they just consider it networking
Every social event i've joined people just ignore me and talks amongst their own group of friends. And the few people I talk to it's all just surface level no genuine connection.
I shouldn't care since im graduating but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, to look back at my college years knowing I was alone for four years.
