Reminds me of my school days when I used to do the same. Interestingly the harsh days are what you continue to remember over life. The sweet breezes are forgotten quickly. And over time it's the hard days that turn into sweet memories.

That being said, the rule is : don't pray for hardship. Pray for easiness. As the Almighty has more power to give everyone everything everywhere if He wishes so.
