Very strong words, Crystal, but let's be realistic here. Yes, we've built ourselves on community and togetherness, but that doesn't mean everything's going to be sunshine and roses. This Utopia that people seem to want to create is simply unattainable. I would love it if everyone was getting along and hanging out together, but don't be naiive. We're all human, and so we're not always going to get along. There's nothing to say that you can't approach someone that you might not consider a close friend though. For the love of God peopl, step out of your comfort zones. Groups of totally like-minded people are no fun. Go to a bar, go to a party, or just go to someone's house and hang out. But don't just sit in your rooms by yourself all day and then bitch about not having a community. If you see someone you'd like to get to know better, don't just stand around with your thumb up your ass and do nothing about it because you're not a member of the Blue Team or you don't participate in the same "extracurricular activities" as that person. Approach this person, find some common ground, and make a new friend. I don't think any of us really appreciate fake people either, so if you don't get along with someone, don't act like you do. Maybe that's the problem people are having: blunt honesty has started to take over where emotionless hugs and plastic smiles once reigned. Let's get over ourselves, ladies and gentlemen, because, as dysfunctional as is it is, Scholars' is still a great place. I hope that everyone will be a little more open-minded in the future and may be just a little more thick-skinned, because your perfect world just isn't going to happen.
