Stressed to impress
Dear Robin,
I’m having a really hard time balancing work and school. I bartend in the evenings then go to class during the day, but I’m always tired and am not doing very well on assignments and midterms. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Troubled and Tired
Hello,
It’s unfortunate that you haven’t learned already that tiredness is an amazing thing you can brag about to your friends. Throw your hair in a really messy bun and swipe a little dark eyeshadow under your eyes. Ah, they’ll be so jealous of how busy and exhausted you are. Who cares if you actually don’t like being completely wiped after each day, just post about it all on Instagram so everyone can sympathize with you. The semester is only a few more weeks (with exam break) so tough it out now, then feel free to change your lifestyle after.

Exam mix-ups
Dear Robin,
I know I should’ve noticed this weeks ago, but I only just realized that I have two exams at the exact same time. I’m terrified to tell my professors because this it totally my fault for taking so long to bring this to their attention. Any tips for how I should ask my professors for some flex time?
Sincerely,
Double Booked
Hey,
Looks like you’ve found yourself in some trouble. It would be best to go straight to the university’s president on this one. Don’t bother talking to your professors because they’ll have to ask their department heads about switching stuff around for you anyways — just go to the source. I’m pretty sure that President MacLean has a bunch of time on her hands anyway; like, what does she even do?
Robin
