890. I regret coming to Soka. I am sure that this post will be shortened but nonetheless I will write about why. This campus has its positives just like some of its people here, but overall I regret 95% of what has happened here. The people here may seem caring or outgoing, but in reality it feels like a façade and the lack of sincerity behind their words that are said makes it feel belittling. I have tried to fit in, tried to be more caring, and tried to do my best for other people’s sake. Yet here I am, always wondering why I even tried if it hasn’t made a difference in the time that I have been here. I am still made fun of, still teased about various things because to those who enact this pain probably think that I can take it or that I will just laugh it off again. That in itself is just personal relationships that I have suffered from. On another note the segregation between Japanese and Non-Japanese nationals is huge and I hate every part of it. Why is it that every Japanese finds it necessary to enclose themselves off if they do not share the same cultural background. On the other hand I am sure the other group does the same as well so I cannot say it is specifically one group or the other. The thing is that no matter the reason, you need to get off your high horse of one culture being unable to integrate with the other. This is Soka, a University that is supposed to be centered around unity and trust. Ever since Freshmen year I thought about this and ever since then I haven’t seen anything that slightly resembles it. Racial segregation, Class Segregation, Language barriers, etc. every single word that describes what Soka is supposed to stand for is complete bullshit and I hate it. Even now I have probably met 5 – 10 of the entire freshmen class and at the same time I have probably met 8+ Extended bridge students because they try to fit in. This is what our University is coming to, a segregated campus, be it one way or another, and I am sure many have faced many problems on a personal level as well like myself. All I can say is try being a little bit sincere and a little bit more outgoing that way there won’t be another few students who feel the same way I do. I regret coming to Soka now, but I have no choice but to work through the pain in hopes that it either changes or that graduation comes first.
