About Being Selfish

Monday afternoon, I was stupid enough to remember wrongly the lecture theatre I’m supposed to go and ended up at LT11, where 4 of my 5 lectures are held. But my stupidity is not the point.

When I arrived outside the LT 20 minutes earlier, I saw a group of 3 chinese students from China talking loudly and walking towards the LT. Once outside the LT, they immediately went to stand next to the door of the LT, wanting to be the first to get in once the previous lecture ends, yanking non-stop all the while.

When the students clears from the inside of the LT, they rushed in and occupied the 3 seats in the middle row that is supposedly the best seats where you can see everything clearly and then proceeded to use their bags to reserve a few more seats for their friends.

I didn’t see their friends come in, because by that time I’ve already realised that I was in the wrong LT and left in a hurry. But seriously, is there a need to be so competitive? So much so that you even have to have the best seats! It’s not as if you won’t perform as well if you are sitting in any other seats right? In my opinion, students from China are mostly selfish and only care about themselves. They will only want to borrow your notes but never want to lend you theirs for fear you can surpass them. WTH.

We are all students, if you can study and do well, then good la, but there is really no need for you to be so selfish la, at the expense of other students.
