Esther Greenwood at Kingswood Oxford

I've been here a week and if their's one thing that i have learned, it is that appearance is everything at this school. All the girls here care about is looking like younger versions of the senior girls at my college, every person looking down upon and making fun of anyone who is different from the norm that has been set for them. They all compete to see who can own more of the fancy clothing, many of which are the same brands as the ones i was given while living in New York. The boys are worse, trying to see who can wear the most Vineyard Vines apparel on any given day. Listening to classes is just purely painful because it is nothing more then over spoiled brats acting like they are smart, even though the only reason that they have been successful is because of their parents money or the fact that their teachers have favored them all their lives. None of these kids no what it is like to have to work hard and no one knows that in the real world nothing will be given to them.  Reality is an illusion at this school and anyone who says or thinks outside the bubble these kids live in is looked at as if they need a short stay in a mental hospital. The worst part is that the kids whine and complain anytime that something doesn't go their way, but when it is truly justified the school prevents them from saying or doing anything about it. As a journalist, i cannot stand for this and at the end of the day i'm packing up and going home.
