Hello everyone! I’m a first course university student and I think you know what a university national association(UNA) is. It’s a group of students that are united by their nation and basically includes a leadership and volunteers from those who study in that particular university. It does extracurricular activities and makes events on certain cultural celebrations. I am in one of those associations and in an inter-university association of my nation(IUAN) as an official volunteer with a couple of my course mates from my uni. Yesterday we had an event devoted to first aid that was supposed to be organised by our UNA and UNA of another university and held in the office of IUAN. Basically we were invited to this event as guests by my UNA even tho we were the official volunteers of IUAN and were supposed to take part in its organisation in the first place but they kept it secret from us which we were offended by very deeply because we had helped with all the other events that hadn’t been relevant to our profession before and we were not told about the medical event happening considering us being medical students. I as a first course student worked my ass off to help on all the other events and tried my best to treat everyone with kindness and be friendly because I liked being around my fellow countrymen, it felt very warm to be around those who understood u the best. And yesterday because I was offended I wasn’t as nice as always but I wasn’t rude either. The event’s program was in this sequence: you register and get a bracelet to participate in doing different cases of first aid and if you don’t you’re just a viewer which is okay. After registration we listen to a lecture of our professor who came from my uni particularly for this event and then do the first aid itself. Everyone had a different bracelet color so that equal amount of people were on different first aid stations. So what’s the tea. There is this one 5th course student(let’s call her Amy) who is in the leadership of my UNA and we were in completely good terms, she saw how hard I tried to always be helpful to them and I thought she’s a nice person even tho I’d been told before that I should be careful with her and she may be toxic. Out of 1 mil requests that she had for me I said no to 2 of them that day: 1. She asked me to kick out the guests that were having a break after lecture in the kitchen so that the lecturer herself could have a break by drinking coffee. I said there was no need because they are the guests OF YOUR event, it’s completely disrespectful to kick em out and the teacher is not that special in comparison to them and she could have her coffee that way. That annoyed Amy for some reason. 2. We(my 3d course student friend and I) ripped off our bracelets at first because we wanted to keep the honor of our 5th course student friend who was already quite advanced in the topic of first aid and wanted to take part in the organisation of this event but was ignored so she didn’t come on purpose. Amy saw that and was confused at first but then said to wear another two bracelets at least for show. Which we did. And later we decided to participate after all to support our university because we were the presenters of it and put the honor aside. But we did all the first aid things chaotically on whatever station we saw was quite free. The culmination was me asking her why she hadn’t her white coat on when all the other coordinators did(the dearest leadership, that thought the cool professional event is only theirs to shine, all wore the coat except for her) and this was asked in a friendly tone by the way. I was expecting for an answer like: “it’s hot in here” or “I don’t feel comfortable wearing it in my outfit”. What she said was “watch your language when you talk to me, especially in front of people”. She’s not my friend, my teacher or sister for me to respect her on the level she wants me to and I never said anything offensive to her. So wtf was that response I don’t know. I texted her later about it, asking what was that aggression about and she hasn’t responded yet. By the way not so many people came which made the leadership upset and instead of being thankful that we came Amy gave me attitude. So AITAH in this situation? Give me advice on what I should do guys
