Now that I've graduated, I have spent a little bit of time in the real world, and it's not all it's cracked up to be. In fact, compared to college, it can be downright depressing.
College Me, 6:30 AM: Force eyes open because my roomate is blow-drying her hair in the other room. God, how does she get up so early? I can't even function right now.
Real Life Me, 6:30 AM: BEEPBEEPBEEP. Time to get up for work. God, I can't believe I'm getting up at this hour on a Saturday. Yearn for the obligation-free days of college where I could sleep all day and nurse my throbbing, hangover head.
College Me, 10 AM: Ugh. Maybe I should get up. Stumble to bathroom and take a shower while half asleep. Knock on roomate's door and ask her if she is as hungry as I am, brunch at 11? Let's be productive after brunch.
Real Life Me, 10 AM: At work, waiting tables. Wish I was the person eating instead of the person serving.
College Me, 12 PM: Done with brunch. Hm. Maybe I should do some homework. Nah. That's what Sundays are for.
Real Life Me, 12 PM: Still at work. Haven't eaten yet because we don't take breaks, unless you happen to smoke cigarettes.
College me, 1 PM: Naptime!
Real Life me, 1 PM: Still at work.
College Me, 1:58 PM: I should probably do some homework, but I'm still napping.
Real life me, 1:58 PM: Still at work.
College me, 4:00 PM: What am I doing tonight?
Real life me, 4:00 PM: Still collapsed on the couch from my waitressing shift. Too tired to even move. At least I broke $100 today...
College me, 5:00 PM: Time to start drinking!
Real Life me, 5:00 PM: Time to start drinking!
College me, 9:00 PM: At the bar.
Real Life Me, 9:00 PM: Sleeping.
