Aw from your description of a typical arts girl I think I'd better go take all those science courses off my CAO...

You're going to trinity? I feel old. I remember when you were 14/15

Next year if I can. Could be UCD, depends on how the LC goes, speaking of which I shouldn't be procrastinating online so much today

UCD's good craic if you fit in. It'll be a bit of a nightmare if you don't, by all accounts.

What do you mean by fit in? Elaborate please?

(I know someone, a rather shy girl by all accounts, who wants to go next year)

UCD is fine so long as you stay away from the maddening Arts crowds. Other parts of the campus are much more chillaxed and friendly.

First of all I am a Trinity student. Who does Arts. Which probably makes me a Trinity thoroughbred. Nevertheless, my experience at Trinity has led me to despise 90% of students in the university.

1) The SU. The students Union is run by a pack of jokes for a joke student population. The emphasis is on terrible jokes and an overly relaxed, 'one-of-the-lads-who-doesn't-like-to-take-things-too-seriously' management style.

2) Trinity fashion. You cannot wear hoodies and tracky bottoms around the college. Well I do, but its a bit of an exception. The Urban outfitters thing is infuriating.

3) Wealthy Dublin female students. Trinity has these in huge abundance. They usually wear colourful hats or do something 'whacky' with their hair. They undoubtedly have solid views on social justice and the aspiration of a better world. Every evening they go back to their comfertable home in the suburbs, sit down to dinner with mammy and daddy and recount the horrific trials and tribulations they see in inner city Dublin every day. The man on the street really gets them down.

4) The not quite D4 types. UCD has a monopoly on the D4 so I can't go too harsh on Trinity here. But its amazing to hear 3rd and 4th year students from all round the country who have developed a wierd hybrid accent which sounds vaguely like its from Donnybrook, but not quite there.

5) The pretensions to being well read. Its in every TCD students interest to claim they've read at least four of five times more than they actually have. And that they are at least three times smarter than the average student in any other institution in Ireland. Its bollox.

6) The fact that loads of people will react to this with scorn or outrage. Trinity students excell in not 'looking bothered' and will undoubtedly react to this post with a curious reaction of condemnation, arrogance and attempts at humour. Ah well.

You seriously have waaay to much time to think up there!!

Interesting thread, a lot of it hits the nail on the head.

1) Completely agree, I can't stand them.

2) I don't really know where you get that TBH. I always wear a hoodie, so do most people I know. I don't wear trackies but I see it done a lot.

3) They can be annoying, but the hypocrisy of their liberal politics would not be what does it for me. If anything it's the ones with right-wing politics who get to me, but then they would wouldn't they.

4) Agree with you here but I kind of think it naturally happens to many. I think it's happening to me. It can be annoying though. I think it's more that it brings out the annoyingness in already annoying people than anything else.

5) I think that's probably in everyone's interest though. I dunno but Irish society in general (working class excluded) strikes me as quite pretentious and poserish.

6) Hopefully that's not what this comes across as. I agree with you on most things. I think a lot of TCD's problems are shared with UCD.

OP, I feel a bit sorry for you. Being so negative and hateful all the time must be a drain on you. You're coming across as pretty immature though. Stop caring about how other people dress themselves, stop caring if people live in the suburbs (someone can be middle class and still care for societal change, you're just coming across as bizarrely and pointlessly prejudiced saying that), all in all, stop obsessing over other people and perhaps try to see the good in others. See someone with a colourful hat? Instead of going "ugh one of them again I bet they're x y z ugh so angry", go "Oh, that's a nice hat" and continue on your way. It makes life so much more pleasant.

Well said!!

Epic troll is, well... epic. If not a bit obvious.

PurpleFistMixer got quite taken in, too...

Karlusss

It's especially bad because he admitted it was to do with April 1 after about three pages.

Peleus

even tho i know it's not a real thread i think he's got a point about the hoodie thing. for girls anyway. I have lectures in the arts block sometimes and the girls dress so weird down there. They all wear clothes that look like something straight off a fashion runway. ie; dresses, oversized golden handbags, wierd boots etc... what ever happened to jeans, t shirts, hoodies, normal clothes?

PurpleFistMixer

People were exactly the same in secondary school I found, only within the restrictions of a uniform... Some people just like putting loads of effort into their appearance. IMO it seems a waste of time and money, but they'd probably say the same of the hobbies of others.

Brian

Arts students don't do any work, so they have more time to put on makeup, paint their eyebrows, pluck their nails, etc.

Personally I like to look good when I'm out. Yes sometimes the morning after I'll wear a hoody and baggy jeans, but usually I try to put a bit of effort into my appearence. Not being shallow or anything, I just prefer to look smart when I'm out and about.

Karlusss

Resenting people who put effort into how they dress is more a reflection on you than on them. I dress like ****, obviously, but I wouldn't be supporting the introduction of hoodies-only dress code just so I can feel better about myself.

Again, you've lost me. I'm always in he Arts block, girls there very often wear hoodies and normal clothes.

Spot on OP!

From personal experience, I can't comment on Trinners, but mine was a far worse experience. Business degree in UCD, followed by a Masters in the Blackrock School of Business - now those places are cock-muncher central. I despised 90% of the people in UCD, and avoided the SU Bar like the plague.

I was also a trackie wearing Dub, bombarded with collared-up knobs from D4, and the apprentice / wannabe toffs from the rest of the country.

My solution:

1) avoid the place as much as possible. My pool game was superb by the end of my college years.

2) have a small group of friends at college, with the remainder from outside the college. Culchies are generally sound with very few airs and graces. Also, I was on the UCD footie team, so most of those lads were bang-on. Actually, a lot of my mates at the time were in Trinity, so I spent a fair bit of my time there. They were Engineering students, which I have found are a far superior class of human altogether. So remember, it could be worse.

3) avoid the majority of SU social gatherings, and the ensuing poor small-talk with people you have complete disdain for.

Some of the comments in relation to your post are laughable, especially those by Tricity Bendix, Gallardo and the Mods... You must hate yourself, I feel sorry for you, you're a racist etc. I can say that I am in the same position as the OP and I neither hate myself, nor have a chip on my shoulder, nor should you feel sorry for me as I have a very nice life indeed.

As a side point, some of the grammar used in this thread has been a bit poor - basic errors such as your / you're and there / their / they're. Has the standard of University attendees in Ireland dropped so far?

Epic Tissue

I always see people in hoodies etc.

I can't understand how people can hate 90% of the people in a college. It's not like you're forced to spend time with them or even talk to them. The majority, you will only see. They could be very nice people or they could be idiots.

What a superb response Flananator! How long did it take you to come up with that?

I've had a look at some of your posts, and to be honest, you seem like a complete bell-end, so your opinion means as much to me as a live, naked body to a necropheliac.

Tosser!

Karlusss

Seriously, waiting for implementation of this compulsory course for getting jokes.

Prof.Badass

I thought they had to drop that because of the recession?

btw, does this thread even have a topic anymore?

brownacid

Ha, even tho this is a piss take, I pretty much agree with most of the OPs seniments.

I hate teh attitude a lot of trinity people have

At least I don't come on her an vent my personal problems to a bunch of strangers. Were you expecting a long, thought-out response? No one cares about you or your shit life.

PurpleFistMixer

Despite the OP being a troll, the thread has produced (sadly a rather small quantity) of real discussion, so yes, it does have a point of sorts.

In other news,
Eoinske, the flananator: stop bickering! No one cares about your juvenile insult-throwing either.
