If you're like me and have bitten off a bit more than you can chew this semester, then this article is for you.

At the beginning of every semester, I always get really motivated and sign up for all the classes and clubs and make all of these plans with people, thinking that I'll be able to handle it. Usually, I'm okay for about six weeks, and then everything starts picking up and piling on and I feel like I'm drowning.

Also, I feel like all of my professors have secret meetings in which they discuss how they can all plan all of their things for the same time just to mess with me.

Hopefully I'm not the only one?

Things You Know If your Workload is Slowly Sapping Away Your Life

You come into the school year motivated and ready for whatever your life throws at you, but maybe you were a bit too excited when you registered for classes last semester...

You're okay for a while, but then things just keep piling up and piling up, but you just keep putting it off.

Soon, things start to get out of hand, but you're not panicking - yet.




So you lose a little sleep finishing your homework, whatever. It's just one night, right?


WRONG

Now, on top of all the stress from your workload, you have existential life crises on whether or not you should just call it quits.


Or, if you're me...

Somehow, somehow you survive the semester.


That's when the fun starts. After that semester, you deserve it.


We can do it, guys. We're halfway there!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
