Today, I attended my first day of school 4 days after reconstructive surgery. But no worries: I'm sure my alien-like appearance and 2 hours of Darth Vader style breathing in an otherwise silent test room will make me lots of friends. FML

carobee tells us more.

Hi, OP here! I had an accident, and therefore could not choose the date of the surgery. My face was severely smashed up, my nose broken and my jaw wired shut. It was a summer class and I missed the first 3 days, so by the time I was well enough to go they were already testing. The class was a pre-req I needed for my next year of class, my senior year. I didn't want to graduate late from college, as I am a pre med student and want to take the mcat next summer. I was not seriously worried about making friends, it was just funny to get so many strange looks. Anyway thanks for all the sweet comments, I'm doing much better now and look back to normal!!

Darth Vader breathing sounds pretty cool.

Well good luck, and may the force be with you.

be glad it's not four hours like at my school

Maybe all of them are star wars fanatics

Why aren't you utilizing the campus testing center if you're so self conscious?

At the end of the test, wheeze, "Kegger at the Death Star!!!" Plentiful beer could get the most ardent of Storm Troopers to chillax. (What ever happened to that word? Chillax? My theory is that too many people thought it was a weapon that was a cross berween a hatchet and and ice pick.)

My best friend was killed by a chillax in a winter expedition exploring a haunted Indian burial ground...

Chillax is a term still in my vocabulary. I'm pretty sure means I'm getting old.

Awe. If your classmates decide to not be your friend because of what you're currently going through then **** those ass hats. Those "potential friends" are not wanting to be there for you when you're at your worst and they most certainly do not deserve you at your best.

why do you need reconstructive surgery?

Not to be rude, but I don't think that's any of our business.

it is just a question. the more someone talks about their abnormalities, the more normal they become. quit trying to oppress simple questions..

I'm so sorry OP, and I admire you greatly for having a sense of humour in such a situation.

I would totally be friends with some one who sounded like vader
