Karma and Kollege

Hello readers!

While I sit in the sunlight, inside because I'm too tired to move my ass outside, I have pondered quite a few topics for today's post. I've decided to turn my focus to karma at this point in our lives. As in, how does karma affect college students?

Note: If you don't believe in karma, one day you will. Trust me. While I jest when shitty things about to even shittier people, sometimes I am even subjected to the will of the universe. It sucks.

What, in our college minds, can incur the wrath of the universe? Stealing a roommate's beer, or left overs from a trip home? Expect to have your goods taken at some point, and don't cry when it does.
 What I have experienced more of, though, is the lack of loyalty among friends.

I personally would do anything for my friends, but have I fucked one or two of them over? Sure have, I'll be honest. But you bet your bottom dollar that I have been fucked over just as well along the way, even if it wasn't by the same person. The nice thing though, in college, is that more often than not, the shitty person does get some sort of punishment.

I can look at a friend, who I took the time to get to know, to defend against other friends because of their past, who I have let into my life (which really does take some effort), and somehow they found it in their selfish little heart to lie to me, and to not even pretend to apologize or make up for their actions. What they lied over is of little importance to me, but you can know that it wasn't over the taking of a beer or two from my fridge. The fact still remains though that they lied to me, about something really not that important, but sneaked around, also fucking over some other friends along the way.

I don't even think that it was the lying that got to me, but the lack of effort on their behalf to actually try to continue to be friends with me even after I offered an olive branch. Turns out, they are a selfish bitch. Did I cry over it all? Hardly. Instead, I did rest easy knowing that they are young, and very naive, and I have been here enough years to know it would all come back and bite them in the ass. It always does...hell, I've already seen it happen! They should probably stop while their ahead, really.

While I may come across as bitter about my own personal experiences, I'd like to continue on to disloyalty among groups of friends.

Turns out, they are a lot of fucking whores on this campus, both male and female. Some of you may claim that I'm probably, or most likely, in that grouping, but I have yet to fuck a friend's ex or person of interest, someone that they're "dating" or "exclusively talking to".

So it happens that there are distinguished groups of people who seem to make a hobby out of dating/fucking each others left overs, whether it was following a serious relationship or not. I used to call it inbreeding in high school, where all the popular kids dated each other and no one would say anything, but would keep it pent up inside until a school dance involving one too many drinks would lead to an explosion of testosterone and/or estrogen. Back to college days, I see it happening and it blows my mind still. I see people get passed willingly around from one person to the next, following their best friend or sister/brother.

Watching this sort of back stabbing, more like "front" stabbing, just to fulfill one social or sexual needs, just truly blows my mind. The thing to remember though, is that karma is a bitch. While they all pretend like everything is perfectly fine, their reputation slowly is starting to slip away from them, out of their control, and I can watch comfortably knowing karma does what karma does.

Some people out their may wonder why the bad boy gets the girls, and nice guys finish last, or the person who puts in the least amount of effort gets the best grade or lead role. Have no fear, though it may take time, you will have your day in the sun. I've seen one of the most beloved members of a department slowly through the years become known for what she actually is, a fucking bitch. While I, on the other hand, may not be the favorite, but I have gained good karma my own, and am happier than they probably ever will be.

To end my rambling, I'd like to finish with some wise words." How others treat you is their karma, how you react is yours."

Until next time,

You know what to do. =]
