I'm in college and I commute to school. I have no problem with that it's just that it's harder to make friends. I'm a junior now and I don't really have any friends. I'm pre-med so school is pretty tough and I'm constantly stressed. Now since it's summer I have a little break and I get to relax...except not really. Because I know I'm a slow learner I read my textbooks to get ahead and try to study the new material myself. But since it's summer I do give myself breaks here and there and so I watch some TV.

Every time I watch some TV she tells me that I better read the whole textbook before summer starts and that I should stop watching TV. SHE DOES THIS EVERY TIME.
Today I couldn't take it anymore so I snapped at her. She just laughs and says she's kidding...but it gets on my nerves!
But I feel like it's a bit unfair. I listen to whatever she says. I even commute back and forth while every other college student dorms. I don't complain ever. I literally study all the time, and never go out with my friends (cause I don't have any). I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't party. I don't spend any money. I don't give her any hard times. I do chores, I cook, I spend quality time with her. I honestly think I'm a pretty good child. I do enjoy it too, don't get me wrong here.
But whenever I watch TV (which is the only time and thing that relaxes me and gives me some entertainment and color in my life) she has to remind me of STUDYING. Like I don't feel like I deserve to hear this every time. I'm already stressed as it is, and all she does is remind me to study when i'm NOT studying. like....I feel like if I'm not doing something she likes I should be studying. It's either me studying or me doing what she wants me to do.

Sigh. Perhaps i'm just overthinking this. Someone please. diagnose me. what is wrong with me..........
Taking a break is equally important. It may provide relaxation to mind and you may perform better.
