<p>Sorry to sound so after-school-special-ish, but I have found that most girls at Barnard are actually different. I didn’t hang out with girls in high school because I couldn’t stand the “she stole my boyfriend and he thinks she’s prettier than I am but I’m smarter than she is because we can’t wear the same dress to the prom” attitude. I find that, as Barnard women, we compete more with ourselves than we do with those around us. I also find that most of us are too busy volunteering, reading 400 page books, and writing theses on the meaning of human existence to be concerned with “little” things like that. I, too, was afriad of the very same thing, but things (at least in my findings) are not really like that here.</p>
