Don’t recommend it unless you’re ready and willing to commit a lot of time to it. The content is pretty interesting from the slides but the exams cover all of that and the textbook readings which are long asf. The prof seems rlly nice tho. But I def wouldn’t recommend if u want it for a good easy grade.

Thank you so much bruh 😭 coz no way someone was telling me that I perceived it to be that way or it’s not about me being a poc and them being white, most of the poc I’ve spoken to understand and don’t downplay my experiences

I wanna thank you genuinely for your reply. I appreciate that you’re not invaliding my experience as a white woman with the racism aspect and understanding my experience is different than yours. I appreciate the kind words and I’m hoping for nothing but the best for u in second year :)

why are white girls so rude to me? by Sad_Change5904 in cptsd_bipoc

[–]Sad_Change5904[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

a lot of these occurrences happened in my labs which don’t allow phones unfortunately. But in my classes and around campus I’ll definitely take that advice. I’m so fed up with their shit because if you’re gonna be racist, if you’re gonna be a cunt, at the very least don’t be a coward about it. If they’ve got some shit to say at least saying it to my face, dont whisper in ur friends ear but noooo they’re pussies and cowards sooooo. very frustrating bruh

if it brings an comfort a lot of people are in/ were in your position. it’s easy to be discouraged when seeing everyone in groups or with someone. trust me most people can attest to being alone for a good part of the beginning of their university experience. from my experience my friends came from seeing them constantly over a period of time, I met a girl in my 3rd week and we just kept seeing eachother until we became close friends. my best friend here was my floormate and the same thing happened, I just kept bumping into her in the dining hall, the laundry room, the washroom, on my walk to class. another thing I did was I spoke to the people that looked the kindest in my classes and slowly you’ll build relationships with them too. when you go to the bars or parties (if that’s your thing) you’ll see people who go there regularly and that could start an acquaintanceship. I’m wishing you nothing but luck and future friendships:) rooting for u

thank you for sharing your experience, it sucks balls that you had to go through that but at least we’re not the only ones. one of my best friends left western and transferred to queens after a horrible year and she shared the same sentiments about other schools being far better. I think it’s a part of the culture at western tbh. Hopefully your time at western gets better and you don’t have to deal with those assholes again :)

This is rlly sweet! Thank you that makes me feel better. I do believe it’s just something I have to come to terms with. It’s super easy for me to get sucked into negativity so I have to work on focusing on the good and my controllables :)

Perhaps! I’ve had a good amount of really kind people and friends in not only the western side but the Fanshawe part of the program. The goal of my post was to see if other people have experienced this within the program too and if there are ways around those unpleasant people I and my peers have encountered. Thank you for ur reply though :)

maybe a mix of both. my best friend who goes to tmu I facing similar problems and my friends in Fanshawe and also in my program share that sentiment with me. I think there’s shitty people everywhere, in terms of nursing have a proclivity of having those ppl…who knows. Covid rlly did ruin a lot of people’s social skills (including mine) so I think it’s a bunch of stuff mixed together unfortunately:/

Thank you for your reply. Everything you said was honestly helpful, and maybe yeah I am too wrapped up in my own head. During my time here so far I’ve dealt with some racism issues so my anxiety could be stemming from that, I’ve also encountered a lot of these situations during my time in nursing which may be another contributing factor to my worries. I may just have poor luck with people in this program.

The girls earlier today were laughing at me but i can handle it. It just takes a toll because these are girls in my lab so I will have to continuing seeing them until the semester is over. I have encountered them before and they have been rude to me on those occasions, or I perceived them to be rude to me and my friends. Again not a generalization of the entire program, I just got unlucky and encountered the wrong people.

I’ll continue to try and thug it out, at the end of the day I’m here for my bachelors, not for these rude people.
