Just work hard

Me: Damn, I’m so stressed out about my upcoming finals

Some ‘adult’ I was really banking on for motivational talk: Just word hard, that’s it.

Like come on dude, you mean I’m not already working hard enough? Like I’m not already busting my head, going sleepless for this shit? What is hard work anyway? Does it have some kind of quality or even better, quantity? Is it a hundred sleepless nights? Gallons of strong coffee amidst a painful process of turning into a zombie? Gigantic all-inclusive textbooks? Death by book? Come on you’ve got to give me more than that or better still,

don’t say that piece of crap to me.

Or best still, smile and nod your head sympathetically so I know you got nothing. work hard? dude don't piss me off.
