How different is college from the real world? Obviously, you have a job, more financial responsibilities, and you’re expected to keep your shit relatively together. The most striking difference is how your aging body now responds to alcohol. You abused your insides for four years and now the sloppy mush that is your abdominal cavity is paying you back for all those years you treated it like a drainpipe. Payback’s a bitch.

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

Embarrassingly accurate, including the handicapped stall
7:15 am this morning before I read this article. Christ.
Sad how true this is 🙁

We’ve all considered going off the grid in the midst of a particularly brutal hangover.

This is truly the only major post grad problem I still have yet to adjust to.
Man, this hits right in the feels.
That’s why I’m glad I went to community college. I still had to commute while hung over and that prepared me for now. Bud light caps on the floor the next morning is a TFM and a PGP lol =)
How about you get back to work fixin’ air conditioners and such? That way you can pay your child support.
How about you learn what satire is? If you cannot comprehend an obvious parody you’re going to be a low level employee forever.
So, is that why you fix air conditioners?
