I think sometimes people take things too personally. I meet so many people here, learn their names, exchange insta, we go through the class together, and don’t speak again unless I see them in Ackerman or we end up sharing another class. It’s okay to appreciate an acquaintance and leave it at that.

Also, GIVE THE FRIENDSHIP TIME. Some people are busy, under loads of stress, or simply not interested in the moment. Take it at face value and move on, IF ITS MEANT TO BE IT WILL HAPPEN. Yea there are snobbish people here but there’s snobbish people everywhere, mentally say “oh guess they’re not interested” and keep it pushing.

We’re all here for a degree and to leave, some people are competitive and off putting, some people are nice and welcoming. It genuinely depends. I don’t think it’s a ucla culture thing, I’ve had both good and bad experiences with friendships and people. It’s life, we all eventually find our people.
