You're doing great!
Obstacles abound. Don't fret.
When I get bothered, I remember my science.
We are here for but a speck of time in the vast nothing of a gazillion galaxies. Your supervisor doesn't get to treat you any kind of way.
We still don't quite have a solid definition of life. We don't have a consensus on what life is. Um, maybe don't get so caught up in whether or not you covered such-and-such a standard perfectly today.
We live here [insert your own skyline], with restaurants and museums and university. So we needn't be overwrought with concern when we need a break—we’ve got that available in spades.
Shoulders back. Heart to the sun. Remember who we are.
Teachers.
