/lit/ - Literature

I used to do that OP, but now I don't anymore and things are fine. I still like to hang out with them, but since they aren't especially fond of me there's no point in insisting.

I still plan on working hard this summer and outdoing them, even though actually getting better than them is just a fortunate consequence, not the purpose. I just hate it when I sense a flaw in someone's work and can't exactly point it out or when I'm being questioned about my own work or when I can't properly defend my own work and hours after the incident I realize what I should've said (always reminds me of that jerk store scene in Seinfeld).
