No don't give me that "you'll grow up and realise that these were the best years of your life" bullshit.
Fucking no, studying 14 hours a day, while still being told to follow unsolicited advice from old people just because they're older than me isn't the peak of my existence.
Let me explain my situation.
I'm trying to get into the best medical in a country where it is incredibly difficult to get into a medical school.
Luckily I'm smart enough for it (IQ 156) and I can and do work really fucking hard.
But the thing is, my methods are somewhat different. I try to adapt my method according to the problem at hand. Like a computer's machine learning algorithm
I don't use the same method of wiping my ass that I use for fixing my car if you know what I mean.
So I need to be allowed to freely make my own decision regarding my study method, and it will take some time to get the result. But results I will get and I have got many times in the past.
But I swear my mom is a fucking helicopter. Just because I'm not at the very top of my class in my practice exams, she thinks my method sucks and I should do what the elders are saying, even though none of them went to med school and most of them have spent the last 30 years in complete monotony, arguing over stupid shit occasionally.
When I suggest the mathematical reason as to why my method works, along with proof, she gets emotional and I have to spend an hour explaining to her that she should see this problem without considering useless emotions in between.
But Nooooooo, lordlivingston has no respect for elders. He will never succeed in life with this 'le attitude probleme'.
And it doesn't help that most of my generation consists of complete brain dead wankers with no clue as to what they wanna do with their lives.
