during school i was the only one who ever made parties at my house for my "cohort" or whatever

at my university, the communications school had the best rep (picture the biggest fish in a vernal pond) hardest to get into. so if you were there, you were kinda treated like you were at yale, socially. like these were the super smart very driven over achievers.

we didnt deserve that reputation btw

anyway, like i had parties and bugged these nerds until they showed up. i had a car up there. and also took some of my peers on photo adventures with me and also for them. and also kept in touch with many on my own steam after school. very consciously putting in effort in a social glue way, very consciously against competitive toxic shit. i just always refused to see shit in terms of: freelancer rat race and my direct competition

maybe shouldve done a union thing

idk im just really into sticking together

all this to say:

someone's value to me is not in their output. everyone in my classes were always invited and bugged into coming. i had no favorites re: hangouts based on performance.

now, there are colleagues of mine whose work i admire. i just like their shit, and/or their approach. their way about things. and there are colleagues of mine where i just didnt feel that way.
