rant: whiners
What is it with people who get +90% in a test/SAC/exam and go “OHMIGOSH I did SOOOOO bad!!”? You did not do fucking bad. You did fucking great. “But Michelle, I need to get 99.95 or I’m going to DIE!!” False. You will not die. I’m not asking you to lower your standards here. I’m asking you to stop and think about what that 90% actually means. You go to a top school, and standards are higher here. As a result, you probably know more about this subject than 99% of the state, and you probably will get more than 45 as your study score. So why do you complain?
No, complaining about how “bad” you did in no way makes you cool/girly/modest/shy/whatever else you are playing at. You come off as a pretentious little child and it makes me want to slap you in the face. I get scores in the 90’s all the time. You NEVER hear me complain about how bad that score is. If I want a better score, then I’m just going to work harder for it. (And that’s another thing. People who complain and don’t ever think to get up and do something about it.)
Same with smart people who start freaking out before a test. “OMIGOSH I don’t know anything, OHMIGOSH I’m gonna fail, OMIGOSSHHHH!!” Everyone, everyone knows you’re damn smart. And we all know that even IF you didn’t study, you’d still manage to get a better mark than the rest of us.
So why do you insist on whining? No one cares. ARGH! Go home! School is not the be all and end all, and if I’m the only one who can see that, then good luck, because you will need it when this year is over.
Please, please, please, just shut the fuck up.
