Dear mom,
I'm sorry that you had a bad day, and that you have to take it out on me as if it's my fault. I'm sorry you were too lazy to check your text messages about the time that I had to be at the school tonight. I'm sorry that I try to do nice things, like playing the Natl. Anthem for the basketball game tonight. I'm sorry that you take my explaining myself as attitude.
But guess what?
I had a bad day, too. Don't think everyone else is immune to stress, just like you. I had to babysit some freshman today, and take snotty attitudes from them, too. But hey, I did the adult thing and came up with a solution, instead of yelling and blaming people, like you do... And you call me immature? I'm sorry that when I explain myself I am stating facts. I'm sorry that when you know you're wrong, you have to go and make everything my fault.
I told you the time. I contacted you. You're just stupid.
Anyway. In art club today, some freshman were talking to everyone about some ideas they had. They had some GREAT ideas! I even thanked them for it, because they were some super awesome ideas. What did they have to say about my thanks?
"Yeah, well, we're just trying to do something for art club," as if no one else was doing everything. They were taking down names of who wasn't listening.
Now, being the VP of art club, this didn't make me very happy. I know we haven't done much for fundraising, but this is my first year. But they didn't have to be snotty about everything everyone said. They acted as if they were in charge, and not our supervisor.
One of our members turned in a T-shirt design, which I was so grateful for. She is the only one to have turned one in so far. One of the freshman came up and looked at it. In a very snobby voice, she said:
"Why are you turning that picture in? This is art, not music."
I explained to her very politely, and smiling, "Well, music is a part of art."
Her response? "Well, duhh."
I wanted to scream at her. But no, I let it slide, for that moment. After focus was over I talked to the supervisor about it. She said she noticed. I told her I was tired of them acting like they were the authority figures, and having snobby attitudes about everyone else's opinions. My biggest issue is, I even thanked them for their ideas and what they were doing, and they blew me off with sarcasm and snotty lines. I am tired of having to deal with this type of B.S. These are the same people who, last week, were talking through the entire meeting, and made the vote last 25 minutes more than it should have because they were not paying attention.
Well, guess what girls? The next time we are taking a vote, and you don't participate because you're too busy giggling over gossip, you won't be included.
I'm done dealing with stuff like that. And I'm sorry freshman, but that just feeds the stereotype we sophomores, juniors, and seniors see.
Why can't we all just grow up a little?
