As Fake as Pressed On Nails

Have any of you meet up with a total stranger, whom you and your FRIENDS have never met before acts so pretentious that you feel like you just want to run them over with a truck or push their fat ass down a hill ? I have. Let's call this person Blob.

I remember while waiting for the rest of the people to arrive for the meeting we were sitting in the theatre room. Blob came in later and sat behind us. We started talking you know, the usual stuff teens filled with rage usually do when all of a sudden he asked me a question. "Are we celebrating Q's birthday tonight ?" I told him that the plan was off since a friend of mine said so due to not knowing how many people would attend the meeting. Blob then started saying how my friend had texted him that the plan to celebrate Q's birthday was still on and that my friend had bought cake and stuff to celebrate. I told Blob that my other friend that texted him did not send me any text. Then the unthinkable happened.... "Oh I forgot, you guys are still newbies in this club's social circle so you guys wouldn't know much" . 

He is lucky to be alive today. I would off bitch slapped him to his death. I mean, I am not that pissed off that he said that but let's be logical now. We are off the same age, but I am a member of the club and have been friends with my 'friends for like four semester while he entered the university a semester later than any of us and has been a member for like three semesters. I've known my friends too well to not to tell me about celebrating our friends birthday and yes we did not celebrated my friend's birthday that night.

The other day I told my friends about it. All of them gave a shocked and disgusted look. "Who the hell is he to say that to you....He is not in our social circle....We're not even close...That's so embarrassing!" was what most of the girls said.

The point of this post is that you should never be pretentious. You should never act like you are a prestigious kid from a high end family. You should never act like one of the people from Gossip Girl just so that people will like you for who your are NOT ! You might be a hot shot where you are from but honey, you are in a University. A public one might I add. Nobody gives a damn if you attend those parties with champagne or gold plates. If you do so when you meet people for the first time and brag about your life, people will seriously have a negative review about you. Instead of getting "Wow I am so jealous of ******* life" said behind your back, you will mostly get a "Oh my God, why did he act so fake?" , "He was trying so hard to impress but his fake-ness shine through" and "I know him, my friends know him. He's a nobody". Burn..

I mean, sure entering University means meeting up with new people and creating a brand new image for yourself but that does not mean to fake it till you make it. All it means is just to improve yourself as a person from who you already are. Be more open with people. Be friendlier with people around. Participate in all sorts of activities. Not to tell people about your fake social life and social background cause anywhere you go, there will always be a person who really knows you for who you are.

I would listen to my friends talk about the events they had attended. The parties, the people. And I would tell them about mine even though mine is not as high standard as they are but at least it is real and we do have proof for the things that we talked about. Its not lame to ask your friends about the parties they attend and who the people they have met are. I seriously do that since I live far away from most of them so things are a bit different. My friends would straight away explain to me about A, B C and Z.

Why suffer yourself by spending a large amount of money when you know the money is actually for your monthly spendings ? Why spend a large sum of greens on branded clothes just to impress people ? By all means, if you like them and think its worth it go ahead and hand in your credit/debit card as you exit the store. If not, just save it for something else. Something that you really need. 

Another thing, just because you want people to like you doesn't mean that you have to ask them out for lunch every single day. Its bloody annoying. Shows off how desperate you are in need of their presence. Asking people out for lunch once or twice a week is enough. I don't even do that. Cause I know that if I spend too much time with my friends, the excitement of being friends will cease to exist and you will start to get bored and fed up with your friends.

I have been abusing " As fake as pressed on nails" for countless of time now. Now you know.
