<p>Everything she does is for the sake of college applications.
Absolutely everything.</p>
<p>Honestly wouldn't mind, but she's swim captain, but so am I.
(It's an applied position, you don't get it based on merit of your swim accomplishments)
She doesn't contribute to the group at all.</p>
<p>Yes, it is wrong. Competition is everywhere. Embrace the competition and you will do better yourself.</p>
<p>Sorry, I accidentally pressed enter. Wasn’t finished typing what I intended to say.</p>
<p>She doesn’t contribute to the group at all. Now that she’s gotten the position, she doesn’t care remotely. The other captains and I have been forced to do all the work, while she sits around doing nothing.
This annoys me beyond belief.</p>
<p>Time and time again, she has demonstrated how truly inferior she thinks I am, which I deeply resent. She treats nearly everyone like this, though, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised…
Nonetheless, a few weeks ago, there was a very competitive internship which many were hoping to get into.
I got in. The first thing she told me when she found out that I received the position was, “How could you possibly get the internship? Your GPA is horrible, and you’re not that great of an essay writer.” (It’s a 3.75 unweighted, which I suppose, is terrible to her considering that she has a 3.99)</p>
<p>She does seem to be kind of arrogant, though I have to agree that these people hoarding leadership positions to pad their own resumes are pretty annoying. Not to mention that her arrogance that saying that 3.75 is a “crap GPA” is pretty self-absorbed.</p>
<p>Not wrong at all. I’m sorry you have to endure such stupidity. -_-</p>
<p>Be proud of your GPA.
</p>
<p>Obviously those who run the internship don’t think 3.75 is horrible - wonder what she thinks of those with a 3.5 or…gasp… a 3.0?</p>
<p>Life will eventually catch up with her, so don’t worry too much about it. I find that people who need to announce how much better they are than everyone else in the end are not. Let her feel superior, it will heighten the surprise when she doesn’t get into her dream school. If she’s that shallow, it will show in her applications.</p>
<p>There’s no point in being annoyed. Life is too short. She hasn’t actually done anything to you other than say dumb stuff.</p>
<p>She seems really rude…I probably wouldn’t like her very much if she said that to me. Lol it bothers me sometimes when people get positions just to pad their resume, neglect it after they get it, and then complain about having to do work for it. Especially if I apply as well, but don’t get in, and they decide to rub it in my face by talking about how they didn’t even try to make their application good and how they don’t even care about the position.</p>
<p>But hey, life’s short, forget about people like her…she probably spends all her time doing activities she hates while you are doing ones that you enjoy.</p>
<p>Yeah, you have every right to be annoyed! She sounds arrogant and stupid. But don’t worry, if you keep pulling your weight and actually working hard, you will eventually end up with recognition and opportunities, not her!</p>
<p>I know exactly the kind of girl you are talking about and it is really annoying. However, she did get into MIT so she must have been doing something right. Don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with her in 3 months!</p>
<p>Hey! Like my mother always told me ‘Don’t complain about a situation you cannot change.’
You have as much to offer as she does and you have all the rights to feel as cobfident as she does. So when she comes to you and tell you rude comments just tell her straight forward that she should shut her mouth instead of commenting on your life because tou really don’t carz about what she thinks and because she is wasting your time. And if she isn’t of any help and is actually a burden in your swimming team, you captains should complain about it to the teacher in charge! Don’t let her step on you, show your strength, and she’ll leave you alone. Just enjoy the time you have left!</p>
<p>It’s not wrong to be annoyed. She may get into the college of her dreams and she might do well there, but she strikes me as the kind of girl who won’t have much going for her afterwards.</p>
<p>After all, you got the internship. You showed passion, desire, and a willingness to work and learn that the selectors did not see in her. She may end up looking great on paper, but I doubt this girl will really go far when she has to work with people and is held accountable for creating solid end-products (programs, work, relationships, etc.).</p>
<p>You cannot do anything about her now. Turn the other cheek and let her worry about her own life. I know a girl like this, though she’s less openly mean. I don’t really concern myself with what’s going on in her life.</p>
<p>She cant annoy you if shes dead (nomsayn?)</p>
<p>She seems like a grade gritter. She probably doesn’t contribute to the swim team because all she cares about are her grades and spends most of her time studying and trying to ace exams.</p>
<p>It’s not wrong for you to be annoyed at her.</p>
<p>Dude, you don’t have to justify why you like/dislike someone. Being cruel and mean to a person is one thing, but being mildly annoyed is completely different.</p>
<p>I’d be annoyed by her, too. Primarily because her accomplishments would make me feel inferior. There is never any reason to be arrogant and demeaning.</p>
<p>I knew a girl like that. She ended up getting into an Ivy, but she graduated with almost zero friends from our high school. Nobody liked her! We are all graduated from undergrad now, but from what I heard she had few friends at her Ivy as well. She also couldn’t understand why she couldn’t get a boyfriend. She seriously had the social skills of a petty child! </p>
<p>So no, it’s not wrong to be annoyed with that girl. So don’t let her get to you or walk all over you! Stick up for yourself because I can guarantee that with a personality like that everyone else feels the same way you do.</p>
