Under Acheiving College Student
1:00pm: Wake up very very hungover. Swear to yourself that you will never drink again. Pop a painkiller and chug a Gatorade. Ask the people lying around you what time is it. It's already 1pm. You've missed all your classes for the day already. But you never attend class anyways so it's no big deal. Lie down again and listen to some Korean podcasts.
2:00pm: You don't feel any better. You go with your friends to eat lunch. You spot that one overacheiver that's always running about. Sucks to be that person you think to yourself.
3:00pm: You go back to your apartment and freshen up. You take a very long and hot shower with Korean radio playing in the background. You feel sad because your parents worked hard to get you to college but you aren't doing anything with your life. Shrug it off as you exit the shower because you realize dealing adderall is a lucrative business.
4:00pm: You realize you've forgetten about Anki. Rep reviews, add 3-5 cards.
4:14pm: You plan to study but this cool webtoon catches your eye. You lie down in bed binge reading webtoons again.
7:00pm: Time really flies huh. Your friends call you to go to dinner. As you walk together you can't help but feel that someone is watching you.
8:00pm: You regret wasting the day. You sit down to study again. No distractions. You promise yourself.
8:01pm: Just this one video you tell yourslef as you open up YouTube to watch some Korean content.
10:00pm: Ok you've really wasted the day. Time to actually study.
10:01pm: Your friends tell you there's a crazy party going on later on. You politely decline. They tell you that cutie you've been eyeing MIGHT be going too. You politely accept. You quickly grab the cleanest looking shirt from the floor and clog every pore with Axe body spray. You know it works because you saw that ad on TV one time.
10:15pm: Pre pre game at friend's house. Ring of fire. Kings Cup. Slight regret begins to set in. Quickly drowned out by the booze.
11:30pm: You are bored. You try another place for pre game. Never have I ever? Are these kids 3? You silently steal a bottle of bottom-shelf vodka and head out. You meet up with your friends as you walk to the main event, taking turns having a swig.
12:00am: Arrive at main party. Cutie not there. Disappointment sets in. You wade around the sea of people looking for your next target. Spot someone standing alone by the drinks. As you walk towards them their boyfriend quickly pulls them away. You stand there disappointed. You down a couple more shots.
1:00am: You are beyond wasted at this point. You start peforming indecent acts that you won't remember but you will be haunted by them when your friends inevitably show you the camera footage. You pass out.
2:00am: The loud music downstairs wakes you up. You stumble around and find a toilet. Completely drain the contents of your stomach into the toilet bowl. You swear to yourself to never drink ever again. You sit back against the wall, questioning your life.
2:30am: Keg stand time.
3:30am: Pass out due to the cumulative damage you have given to your body for the past week.
