I sometimes cant help but wonder if being in university makes people self serving and narcissistic. Perhaps it is one of the unintentional, unwanted side effects of the bell curve. But if not for your own OG and hall ppl, its really hard to get to know people outside of class. And most people who get to know you through faculty are wary and distant, as if if you get too close you can magically steal away their marks and push them to the other end of the bell curve. It can be quite desolate. I miss JC where everyone is super nice n friendly and they make friends with you based on character, not whether your friendship will be beneficial in some way or another to help boost one's grades. I really dislike politics. I know that my friend says tt SMU is worse, but i wonder if NTU has a simpler more pure form of life..
