Its finals time of the year.
To date ive completed 3 finals. I have 2 left.
Numerous times per day i experience a shitty phenomenom most notably experienced around this time:
Im going to proceed and call it the 'Ill Pretend I Care About You and Your Lousy Finals In Order To Talk About Me And My Awesome Self Because I Love Me Too Much To Get Past My Own Derisory, Yes Derisory, Life And Have Empathy For Anyone Else Disorder' (or IPICAYAYLFIOTTAMAMASBILMTMTGPMYDYDLAHEFAED for short(er))
Heres my theory in action (or as i see it):
Person #1: Hows finals going?
Person #2: Sucks obviously, i had a real hard exam yesterday and i had another difficult one today and -
**at this point person #1 chimes in**
Person #1: Yeah, i had a more harder exam yesterday (and proceeds to explain why) and i had a more difficult one today (and further explains why his exams were harder)
Person #2: oh, you win... you are the champ! Kudos on your impossible schedule i have the utmost respect for you now a-
Person #1: You can get off of your knees and stop bowing
Person #2: Yes master... anything for Czar Mr. McBetterThanMe
Why do people always pretend to care about you and your finals and once the complaining begins (and yes it is inevitable since we are discussing HUGE exams often worth upwards of 35% of your grade) suddenly it becomes a competition as to whose exams are truly harder. And its only a matter of time before it switches over to who studied the most:
Person #1: Man i studied for 4 hours straight yesterday and i still need to study more since im lost in Psychology
Person #2: 4 hours? I studied for 267 straight hours because my exams NEED so much studying and its not because of my inability to retain information since im like, brilliant.
Person #1: Wow, you truly are incredible, i idolize you and your impeccible ability to study in a manner superior to my own. Just what is your secret?
Person #2: Im addicted to Adderall!
IPICAYAYLFIOTTAMAMASBILMTMTGPMYDYDLAHEFAED affects millions of people every single year. And im almost sure that everyone of you has either a) been the asshole suffering from said Disorder or b) thought anyone gave a crap about you and your exams later to find its just a doorway to begin talk about your "empathitic listener's" life
Cut The Shit. If you think anyone is impressed with you and your tests then you my friend are so sadly mistaken that i am actually lowering my head in dissapointment just thinking about it. No one cares. NO ONE. Your parents dont care, - your friends, pets, psychiatrists, parol officers, or even your imaginary best friend Flippy the Fuckn Tortoise could care the slightest about your exams. However, i have no problems talking or helping people when they have a problem with their exams as long as you are not trying to prove how much better you are because i know my friends, and you guys are not better than anyone (joking). And i do know some of you out there are actually, dare i say it, genuine people and do actually care about others. If you fall under this category please dismiss just about all of this entry and continue doing whatever it is you do.

So anyways, my exams were ridiculously hard... i studied for about 230 hours straight and they were just impossible and not even the professors that wrote them could have passed them...
Just kidding,
dicks.
