why i still loathe UPS students

in tacoma, there are two universities that are notable (i.e. not university of phoenix or some crap like that, no offense): Pacific Lutheran University (where i did my undergrad) and the University of Puget Sound (gee, that name is almost as creative as the University of Denver). PLU is not in the best part of town, but it is cheaper and ranked better than UPS. UPS attracts a lot of wealthy kids (particularly from Colorado for some reason) and is in the nice North End of Tacoma. The football teams are rivals (PLU always wins) and UPS students generally look down on the less-flashy Lutes (PLU mascot, though we are still not sure what it actually is). As a result, there exists a standing animosity between Lutes and Loggers.

when we would venture to the North End as undergrads, we were shunned. Well, okay, i can never say that i was actually put down, but i knew what they were thinking: you pay less for tuition than we do, therefore, you are not worthy.

i thought i had shed these negative feelings, until this morning. yes, some things never change--UPS students continue to HOG all of the spots at local coffee shops and more importantly, take up all of the outlets with their laptops. i feel like getting a megaphone and shouting "There's a last minute sale going on at Hollister, hurry!" or "A BMW just got stolen from the parking lot!" or "A study was just released that organic coffee makes you gain weight!" or "Free Red Bull and Vodka down the street!" and watching the swarms of students rush out.

alas, i will endure their presence and watch my laptop slowly lose power, until it dies. and with it, a little part of me will die, too.
