Get off the rich-kid thing. It’s embarrassing for everyone who brings it up. We all have to play the hand we’re dealt so start making lemonade.
I don’t even come from Ontario and I’m getting this from my own friends. No, I do not fit the poor, university student stereotype- but that doesn’t mean I fritter away my parents hard earned money. Ya’ll watch too much TV.

thats real nice of them, prolly bought the car pay insurance beer money bar money..i dont know if the OP is bragging but they seem happy having everything provided to them 😀 and why not, but if your friends, ppl who know you and how you spend your(parents) money, are sick of hearing about what you get – then how bout you shut the fuck up about it and maybe ppl will think you deserve what you have
I’d say you’re the one who watches too much tv, using expressions like “y’all,”..For someone complaining about those who complain about the ‘rich-kid thing’, I find it funny that your bitch exudes the spoilt rich kid attitude. Here’s a tip. Most people (including your friends, by the sound of things) are annoyed by others who feel the need to list what they get for free from their parents; ”tuition, gas, apartment (andeverythinginit), cellphone :D”
Are you bragging because it sure sounds like you are. Life is going to be pretty hard when mommy and daddy stop supporting you and you have to pay for “tuition,gas,apartment(andeverythinginit),cellphone” and your little university undergrad degree doesn’t get you very far because they rarely do. If you don’t believe me, go to any coffee shop and ask the staff how many of them have degrees!Easy for you to say we should all start making lemonade when someone else is paying for your lemons, dummy! I’m all for making the best out of a tough financial situation- but the way you trivialize poverty shows just how uneducated you really are. You might be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle in university but you’ll never be able to buy insight or intelligence. Good luck in your BA in MRS because with your logic, you’re going to need a pretty wealthy spouse 😀
That little twinge of annoyance you felt due to my bragging is very similar to the twinge of annoyance I feel when I have to read your hateful bitches stereotyping a certain group of people. My point was simply that we’re not all wasting money on trivial things and being giving tuition does not automatically make us dickheads who deserve your criticism at every available opportunity… I donno- I guess you could say I was… um…offended?? Thanks for the advice though. I sincerely hope I pissed you off with the bragging the way you piss me off with the negative stereotyping.
Well from the sound of it Nikki, you fit the negative stereotype perfectly. But, if you’re so convinced otherwise, why then would you attempt to make your point by REINFORCING that very stereotype you claim to hate?? Does that really help matters? Get a brain. There are plenty of very likeable people who happen to be finacially privelleged, most of us intelligent people know that and have friends that are such. These people don’t use their financial priveledge as a means to feel good about who they are as a person, to look down on others, or make themselves more appealing to the opposite (or same) sex! If your friends are also ragging on you as you mentioned they do, take it as a sign that it might be time to change the princess attitude.
Who are you talking to Nikki? So your trivial little post that you now claim was about spending tuition wisely (hahaha, like anyone believes that) was really a commentary on how people here are stereotyping on this site? So, your whole motivation was to piss people off because you feel pissed off? Just trying to understand your lack of logic. Personally, I have never stereotyped a “certain group of people” on this site- if you have a problem with someone who has, why not directly address that person instead of writing an asinine little post? If you are offended that I have been negative about Halifax in past posts, why not say so at the time because A) letting yourself stew just leads to you releasing your frusteration in an incomprehensible way and B) it isn’t anyone on this site’s desire to read the hidden meanings in your not-so-clever post!
