After having been a student here for nearly two years now, I find myself longing for something that I once had. One might say that I am not trying, or perhaps that I have social issues, but I do not believe either to be true in any sense. What I am longing for, is a sense of camaraderie.
It appalls me that everyone here seems to be beyond having comrades. Our friendships are purely mental, the words and ideas make us feel as though we belong together, but that is where it ends. Do we have a love for each other so deep that no matter what hardships our relationships are battered with, we will always be friends? Do we care for each other so deeply that we would put our lives on the line for each other or at least stop being selfish for one damn minute? No, of course not. This is RPI, a collection of approximately 5000 students, most of whom have either no personality, or are incapable of functioning in everyday social situations.
There are those of you who might feel hurt by this. If that is the case, then perhaps we should talk about it because being passive aggressive is never a good thing.
So yes, welcome. Welcome, to RPI, where camaraderie doesn’t exist, and friendship is only skin deep.
