Not all that glitters is gold

Last night, I went to a party and met several people I never would have met if I didn't study in a prestigious university.

They were actresses, not very famous but recognizable enough, mingling with the crowd I was in. They weren't treated as stars however. They were there as normal people. It was disheartening to see these normal people smoking cigarettes. They were not committing a crime unless they were under-aged but I hold a grudge against that stick anyway. It is addictive and it kills.

I realized how fickle media can be. In the television, I just see a mask that they want me to see. I don't really know those people.
