Being the Smart Kid

I have to say that being the "smart" kid never becomes "cool". I am 20 years old and in college. I always get the highest grade in my Spanish class. Everyone in the class knows that I do. So the people in the class that are my age, ignore me and don't let me in there "group" and the older ones always look at me when the instructor asks a question. It's kind of sad that we can't leave that all back in high school. I feel amazing for having the highest grade but feel unwanted because of it as well. Oh well though. Better to have brains and only a couple of friends than to be failing and be surrounded by friends. At least in my opinion.
