The bolded doesn't sound so bad to me

Thing is, as long as I can remember I wanted to do something in medicine. I loved biology and probably would've loved chemistry and I watched Discovery Health Channel more often than cartoons in elementary school. But neither of my majors really prepares me for med school and plus I don't like seeing what people are going through in regards to insurances and government and all that stuff. My mom likes the idea of me being a doctor. But all the extra schooling and classes it would take just so I could even take the MCAT are expensive and I feel pressured and guilted about it and I might as well give up the idea and continue into this math/music hybrid thing to which I have chained myself.
Well only you can decide if you want it enough to go through some trouble to get there.

I'm fine about crying when it's for sadness. That's fine. But I hope you can understand my aversion to crying when angry.
Yeah. Interesting, we are different there too a bit.

Lol. That might work if we had keys for the bathroom doors. (The doors have deadbolts, but from the outside they can be turned using a quarter if someone forgot to unlock it after showering or something.) Locking her out of the bathroom means taking her room keys and making sure the suitemates never let her in either. Also I have two roommates.
Uhhm I don't know the exact situation and the place so I don't have any more specific suggestions on how to ensure she keeps her part of this agreement.
