“That fortune cookie alone had the power to take away the stress that we had.”

Note: There is language that is excluded in the transcript but not excluded in the audio.

Have I ever gotten a fortune cookie that was spot on? No, but my friend has, we were like stressing for this math test. And we’re like freaking out ’cause a bunch of the math teachers wouldn’t teach us last year. Um, so we’re freaking out. We’re like, “We don’t know how to do this! She never taught this! Why is this on the review guide? This isn’t even our unit! Oh, crap, she gave us the senior kids’ review guide? No wonder this makes no f***ing sense!” Whatever, all that stuff. This happened like last year, so I don’t remember exactly. But we’re stressing, we’re freaking out. We’re doing the DeltaMath, we’re doing, you know, all that stuff. And she — and we’re at lunch. We’re taking the test next block. So, fourth block.

And um, yeah. So we’re stressing out, we’re freaking out, we don’t really know what’s going on. And then she pops open her fortune cookie, and she gets a fortune, and it says, “All of your stress will be over soon,” or something like that, you know, whatever, whatever they say. And we just start bursting into laughing, and surprisingly that fortune cookie alone had the power to take away the stress that we had over this math test, and we both ended up getting As, so it was, you know, pretty cool.
