Rich kid, Poor kid

What I have noticed in college is the social segregation. It is most obvious during lunch and break times. This is when most of the wealthy students walk about, strutting their exorbitant handbags, branded clothing and perfectly coloured hair. Its when the gucci mama's and armani daddies come out and play.
It is quite obvious that most of these rich kids are only taking education for granted. Probably because they need not work for their entire future and yet they will be so much better off than others. These are the people who usually arrive in college loaded with all the latest gadgets. Mornings in INTI are like car shows. Mercedes, BMWs, Volvos, you name it, they've got it. Not only that, they barely concentrate in class and end up playing with their latest tech gadgets and cellphone games. It tends to be distracting especially when they start to dangle their PSPs and iPod videos in front of you while you are trying to memorize the structural formula of ethylene glycol and its uses.
Its just so frustrating to know that they will never know the meaning of hardship like you know it.
Not only that, they make it look like college life is so easy. However, most of them do not do so well in their subjects. But who cares, when they can just take the same course again the next semester or the next year, whereas we are working our asses off until our brain melts, just so we can achieve the best of grades. Furthermore, they even ditch classes whenever they like it while we have to endure an hour and a half of listening to a lecture on pathogenic diseases.
But after a while, or should I say about five months, I've actually gotten accustomed to it. Costly things being flaunted in front of me has become a daily routine. It might have bothered me at first but I'm kinda numb to it.

I have to say that the movie Mean Girls really depicts the situation in colleges, where social division is the norm, people prance about in scanty clothing (only barely true), gossiping is practically a religion (absolutely true) and the rich are always bitchy and are a$$holes (partially true 'coz I know people who are rich and are considerably good hearted).
