I have a feeling that this will be a generic "teenage angst" against parents post. I hate it when people, esp. your parents, continue reminding you of things you already know or things you already planned to do… but in a more negative tone. I also hate it when they tell you to stop doing this or that.

My mom just told me nursing school is hard. I KNOW already. I am expecting the storm to come anytime soon. Her repeating this to me all the time really aggravates me because I feel like she's putting me down. I'm not just an average child who doesn't know any better. I'm not an idiot who will just go in this without planning on reading or studying, god…

I am also working only on the weekends during this semester. My mom discouraged me to work as well. She says that I'm "working harder" over there. What a dumb assumption to make. I know fellow nursing classmates who work twice my hours during the week. Besides, how am I supposed to work harder at work when I dislike it? I'm just there to easily pay off my bills.

I wished my conservative asian parents were more understanding.
