Well, I have experienced such situations several times throughout my life. However, one of the most frustrating experiences was approximately six months ago. At that time, our instructor announced a special occasion at Tava University. Therefore, all the undergraduates gathered on a special campus in order to participate in this event. However, before our participation, we exchanged our ideas about a variety of topics. I was dissatisfied with my classmates’ overall conversation, which was pointless. For instance, they prioritized discussing the lifestyle and accomplishments of celebrities who are in the spotlight, how they are able to lead a luxurious lifestyle and possess decorative items such as jewellery and luxury cars. Furthermore, there was a particular girl who expressed her passion for leading such lifestyle and having such items as well. Unfortunately, this topic was so discouraging for me as it did not have any priority and was not well organized. Moreover, I am not crazy about poking my nose into other people’s lifestyle. I tend to stay focused on politics and communication skills which are closely related to my future career. Consequent I was dissatisfied with the situation as my classmates were unwilling to stay focused on politics which were beneficial for our future career. Moreover, they prioritized using expressions which were disturbing. All in all, it was one of the most unpleasant situations as it gave me a sense of frustration to listen to such gossip and criticism from my classmates.
