“You should be grateful, other people have it so much worse that you do.”

Of all the advice and soothing words, this is the last thing that I would want to hear from anyone. For me, it is the most selfish and most insensitive consolation someone could give to another person. If someone is already being eaten up by their problems, this is not a good way to help relieve the burden. It’s like telling someone to ignore the dagger stabbing at his/her heart just because someone else has a great big sword stuck on theirs. A small dagger or a giant sword, either way, both would cause immediate death. It’s the same with problems. No matter how small or shallow our problems are compared to others, it doesn’t change the fact that this problem is bothering us and affecting us negatively. It will be there and won’t go away. So I really think that it’s useless to say the words above to anyone at all. It would probably better if you try to hear out and understand the reason for the person’s agitation rather than asking them to dismiss whatever feelings they have.

The worst thing you can do to bookworms is to disturb them while reading. If you see us holding a book up our noses, stay away and leave us alone for your own good. No matter how close you are to us, we will be annoyed.

Like we don’t have any other subjects to study for.

Why is it that whenever I study so hard for a graded recitation, it will always be postponed or canceled?! Damn it. I spent my time and slept very late just so I won’t look stupid when asked during that recitation and another professor turned up saying that we don’t really have to do the recitation. I could have used that time in studying for tomorrow’s written and oral exams for Anatomy lab. It’s just fucking annoying. I hate how my time got wasted for no reason at all. 

Oh great, we’re having a lesson on ovulation and the menstrual cycle just when I have my period.

What a timing. I don’t need to know the freaking details of this ungodly blood flow, okay?!
