12 Struggles Of Having The Unusual Curse Of A Small Bladder

12 Struggles Of Having The Unusual Curse Of A Small Bladder
OCAL

I'm always told to drink plenty of water. It's good for you! It'll make your skin glow! You'll feel so much better! But you know what's not fun? Having to get up in the middle of class two or more times to use the restroom.

Everyone stares at you. The professor judges you. And people begin to wonder why you always have to get up so much. But the only problem you have is a small bladder. You just simply can't hold those eight cups of water like a normal person. And it's a personal hardship so you know what I mean when I talk about these struggles.

1. Everywhere you go, you must go to the bathroom before you leave.

Your mom doesn't even need to tell you anymore.

2. You sit close to the door in classrooms to make a discreet exit.

It's strategic sitting and it works.

3. The first thing you do is locate a bathroom for future use.

I need a blueprint of the building to see where each bathroom is located.

4. Hearing someone say "Use the bathroom now, you won't be able to for a while" actually terrifies you.

But... what if I need to?

5. You dread long road trips since you'll be stopping more often than you'd like.

And possibly peeing in a bush.

6. You always take the aisle seat on bus or plane rides to minimize inconvenience for the person next to you.

Getting up seven times on a red-eye flight is bound to make your neighbor less than pleasant.

7. Sleeping the whole night through is out the question.

Especially if you had a milkshake right before bed.

8. It's actually difficult to drink a lot of water.

Your morale diminishes after the first unusual bathroom break.

9. Your friends and family know to get out of the way when you get home.

You don't even have to call dibbs on the bathroom anymore.

10. Dresses are your bff and rompers are the devil.

No explanation needed.

11. Concerts and festivals stress you out.

There's always such a long line that by the time you're done peeing, you'll probably have to get in line again.

12. Public restrooms don't even phase you anymore.

Mystery stain, you are no match.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
