Snail Mail, Library, and My Chemical Romance

Yesterday, I finally wrote a replying letter for my friend after procrastinating for days. Today, before going to post office, I went to my faculty library and unexpectedly, Welcome to the Black Parade was played. After that I heard Helena and I Don't Love You. Whoa, the library had never been that "expressive" before.
The friend whom I sent my letter to is also a fan of My Chemical Romance. She even had crush on Gerard Way. I guess today was a right time for me to write about MCR again.
I admit I learn a lot of English vocabularies from MCR songs. You may think their lyrics aren't suitable for language learning but using song for learning is one version of learning by having fun.
I know MCR when I was 14 or 15 and after I listened their songs, I searched them in the internet then I found out that not all people are like me. I had known that everyone is different even before I knew MCR but when I discover them, I realize that there are people who are completely different to me but I could still like them. After reading their lyrics, my teenaged self learned that everyone has their own struggle and in my opinion it was quite a good lesson for a teenaged girl.

Relationship Advice and My Chemical Romance

I've never written a post about relationship since I'm not good at it. However, if you need any relationship advice, maybe this video by Carrie Hope Fletcher: WHAT GUYS LOOK FOR IN GIRLS (yes, she wrote the title in capital letters) can help. 
In that video, Carrie mentioned Gerard Way, the former vocalist and frontman of My Chemical Romance. I'll talk about My Chemical Romance in this post.
I was a fan of My Chemical Romance. I guess I still am. However, you may consider me a newbie because I started listening to them after the Black Parade became hit. 
I remember that time when I still listened to radio and I always request Welcome to the Black Parade. The DJ noticed that and said, "Why do you always request that song? Do you want to listen another song?"
I then listened to their songs from the previous album and I fell in love with Helena song. I also watched the video. I even tried to cover Tracy Phillips' dance and I ended up feeling dizzy from turning around a lot of times. Tracy Phillips was so great at playing Helena.
Famous Last Words somehow affected me emotionally. If you know the science behind it, please tell me. 
Another favourite song of mine is Cancer. I like both the lyrics and music. Beside that, the way Gerard Way ("the way Gerard Way" sounds.... I can't find the right word) sang the song was amazing. There was time when I listened to Cancer over and over again without any other song in between just for the feeling it caused. I find difficulty to describe the feeling by the way. 
I also like Na Na Na. Both song and video are playful, in my opinion. Talking about playful, this video of My Chemical Romance performing Every Snowflake is Different may cheer you up.
Do you have any favourite song by My Chemical Romance?

Study Result

I'm still waiting for my study result. I've visited the website over and over again and I got nothing. 
This semester, the subjects were easier than the previous term. I also studied better. I could concentrate better on studying and still had fun watching YouTube videos. For someone who has short attention span and is easily bored like me, being able to maintain focus for 30 minutes of studying is such an achievement.
I remember that I've ever posted in this blog that endocrinology was the last written exam I passed and it was long time ago in 2nd semester. In this 5th semester, I passed 3 out of 4 exams. Yeay!! I failed in dermatology by the way.
I hope my result is good this semester.
P.S. I tried Pomodoro technique for time management.
