In College, the line between "cool" and "sad" is very blurry. Often times, what seperates something awesome from something depressing is merely semantics, or word choice. Check it out:
Cool: Yeah, I totally failed that test.
Sad: Yup, I got a 34%. That's my third F in this course.
Cool: I drink like, forty beers a day, it's pretty bad, haha.
Sad: I force myself to mass consume an inhumane amount of alcohol. Its borderline sadistic and extremely unhealthy. I'm very near death on a nightly basis.
Cool: Dude, I haven't even been to like, one class this semester.
Sad: I haven't attended a single class, not even orientation. I'm certain I've been dropped as a full time student, and to make matters worse, my father had to take an extra job to pay for out of state tuition.
Cool: Whatever, I'm just gonna go home and jerk off.
Sad: My penis is chafed from over-masturbation and I'm clinically depressed.>
