Studying biology for psychologists is like an exercise in existential horror. "And this is the part of your brain that is in charge of hope. This part is why you like puppies. If this part gets damaged, you will have some HORRIFYING SYNDROME OF OMG DOOM that makes Freddy Krueger cry himself to sleep."

OMG my little pink emoticon bat is frantic. I feel you, buddy. Hang in there.

LOLOL for me it was more like - this is why your life sucks. No, there's nothing you can really do about it, no your'e not imagining it, it's real, it's in your brain and you're doooooomed.

I'll never forget how in first year someone came in to talk to us about exam anxiety and they were like - next year you'll learn about study centers in the brain more in depth and then you'll realize why stress happens and why it fucks you up. But I gotta tell you, even having done first year, I still get all UGH CORTISOL STOP! JUST STOP! YOU'RE FUCKING UP MY SHORT TERM MEMORY AND YOUR FUCKING MOTOR RESPONSE IS FUCKING UP MY ABILITY TO FOCUS!

I wish there was an off button for stress hormones.
