I got an 84 on my final exam for Abnormal Psychology! I am so happy as I almost had a panic attack when to my surprise the exam was at 8am when I thought it was at 10am, and I showed up at 830!  Luckily the Professor understood! |

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!
