Beauty is a double-edged sword. It can be a blessing or a curse.
For Rosa, it is more of the later. Her whole life she has been viewed, treated and used like an object by others, including her own family.
She went to the crime ridden metropolis of L...
"How the hell were you so cool when they began to cut that guy up Rosa?!"
Jalia exclaims, as we go down the exit stairways.
"We already saw videos like that in previous classes. Aren't you guys used to It at this point?"
"Those were old low quality sugery footage. This one they showed looks like It came straight out of a Snuff film!" Nadia interjects.
The others are sort of jokisng, but she has a nauseated look. She left the class twice to go puke at the bathroom.
"Well, we are probably going to see similar things in our future jobs." I argue. "And doctors won't tolerate us leaving every few minutes to Go to the bathroom."
"I won't! The guys of my interniship Said they Will be hiding me once I finish college! I Will be working with lovely grandmas instead of gory surgeries!"
"Wow, that's great for you Maria!" Nadia pats her in the back. Maria is a little more advanced than us in the course.
"Let's celebrate! If anyone can still eat meat we are going eat burgers!" Jalia hugs the other two.
"Hey, do you want to come with us, though girl?" Nadia asks.
"Sorry, girls. I am poor and gotta work!" I give them my old reply with a smile.
"Haha! Ok, bye Rosa! See you tomorrow!"
The there wave at me, and go on their way to have their fun.
"Bye girls!" I wave back.
We are not that close, but I am glad they still invite me after classes are over, even though they already know I am busy.
Since the LRU School of Nursing is an elite institution, I thought most students here would be snotty rich kids and naturally dislike me for being a provincial girl in a small scholarship. But, everyone has been really nice in the three years I have been here.
Most girls I have classes with are all pretty high maintenance for some reason, so my appearance hasn't been an obstacle for me making friends like in high school.
Different from there, here nobody knew me, or ever heard of me. Nobody cares. I was able to start everything over.
And in a year, this stage of my life will be over as well... I know I needed to graduate as fast as possible, but... I will difinetely miss uni. Despite some bumps and problems, these have been the happiest years of my life.
But, I know that when I graduate, I can make the rest of the life I have ahead of me even better...

Walking away from the white modernist buildings of Little River University, I distance myself from the green campus and the large well pavemented sidewalks where old couples walk well groomed dogs, to the city center of Little River.
