It's perfect for one who sits and cries

Quickest Way to Depress Puri: Give her a dream where she's reliving her college days. Remind her of her potential to learn so much and make many new friends in a comfy and exciting environment, but due to her lack of experience, she comes off as inept and awkward, and she looks stupid in front of the entire school. Sure, people smile and are still nice to her, but only to be courteous and helpful because the wretched thing needs help or messes something up all the time. Poor thing, she has trouble with so many little things that everybody can do out of habit! If she's to be a "friend" at all, she's only the type that shows up now and then to fidget and doesn't speak much so you might as well ignore her. In other words, she's a crutch that can't even stand by itself, and that's too bad.

Of course Mom calls me because looking at clothes in fliers is my #1 Passion in All The World and after the hours and hours and hours we spent shopping yesterday, she tells me we may have to return certain clothes (and if past experience tells me, when does Mom ever return anything unless it's past the return date?) because I hadn't been thinking whether they were on sale or not. Bought because I thought I was told I had to get as many summer clothes as possible. Thank you mother, you've unintentionally but successfully reminded me that keeping my priorities straight was yet another reason why I was a failure at college.
