It's not mean to hate her a little bit...?

Okay, so basically all my friends (or everyone, really...) know that my biggest hope for the future is that I get to study Northern European Studies in Berlin. Then this dialogue between me and a good friend who already has a place at a school in Berlin (for make-up artists...) happens:

Friend : "I cried all night yesterday!"
Me: "Why? D:"
Friend: "Because I have to move to Berlin for my apprenticeship!"
Me: "... ._. I'd be really happy if it was garantueed that I could study in Berlin..."
Friend: "Yeah?! But maybe my friends and family mean something to me!" *turns away with a bitchy face*
Me: "Uhm... ._."


So, uhm, I wasn't the asshole here, was I? o.o

God, people like that are really childish. There are always going to be opportunities to make friends, and besides, I just want to SHAKE Europeans (no offense ;) who think that moving to somewhere inside their country is far away.

It takes me five days to drive (going 130 kmph) across my country, jerks. XD THAT IS DISTANCE. ONE 4 HOUR TRAIN RIDE IS NOTHING, OK.

Anyway, I think she's just overly emotional and also a huge whiny baby.

Oh mann. Nich im Ernst? *haut dem Mädel grad eins über* Ich denk, die wollte nach Berlin?

Haaach. Was is denn nur los mit der?

I don't think she meant what she said. It might just be the realisation that she's going to have to move away very soon, and she might not personally be ready for it so saying something like "Yeah?! But maybe my friends and family mean something to me!" is just her way of showing that she's scared of losing contact with her friends when she moves, which sadly happens to the majority of people regardless of how far away the move is. Not everyone makes new friends easily, so she may just be nervous that she's basically going to have to start from scratch. I eventually want to live in Berlin too, and I was supposed to have moved back in October but I know now that I'm just not ready for it and I'm glad I didn't go. Part of it is family and part of it is friends (personally I find it very, very difficult meeting new people and becoming friends with them so I understand a little why she said that) but most of it is because it doesn't feel right at the moment. It wouldn't matter if I moved into the house next door from mine though, I'm not ready for any sort of change at all. Perhaps this girl isn't either, but because she has a placement she hasn't given herself much of a choice.

But no, you weren't an asshole :) Someone was going to say something like you did to her sooner or later. It doesn't make you a bad person.
