I'm always told to drink plenty of water. It's good for you! It'll make your skin glow! You'll feel so much better! But you know what's not fun? Having to get up in the middle of class two or more times to use the restroom.
Everyone stares at you. The professor judges you. And people begin to wonder why you always have to get up so much. But the only problem you have is a small bladder. You just simply can't hold those eight cups of water like a normal person. And it's a personal hardship so you know what I mean when I talk about these struggles.
1. Everywhere you go, you must go to the bathroom before you leave.
Your mom doesn't even need to tell you anymore.
2. You sit close to the door in classrooms to make a discreet exit.
It's strategic sitting and it works.
3. The first thing you do is locate a bathroom for future use.
I need a blueprint of the building to see where each bathroom is located.
4. Hearing someone say "Use the bathroom now, you won't be able to for a while" actually terrifies you.
But... what if I need to?
5. You dread long road trips since you'll be stopping more often than you'd like.
And possibly peeing in a bush.
6. You always take the aisle seat on bus or plane rides to minimize inconvenience for the person next to you.
Getting up seven times on a red-eye flight is bound to make your neighbor less than pleasant.
7. Sleeping the whole night through is out the question.
Especially if you had a milkshake right before bed.
8. It's actually difficult to drink a lot of water.
Your morale diminishes after the first unusual bathroom break.
9. Your friends and family know to get out of the way when you get home.
You don't even have to call dibbs on the bathroom anymore.
10. Dresses are your bff and rompers are the devil.
No explanation needed.
11. Concerts and festivals stress you out.
There's always such a long line that by the time you're done peeing, you'll probably have to get in line again.
12. Public restrooms don't even phase you anymore.
Mystery stain, you are no match.
