Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.
