Drexel drains you, physically, emotionally, and financially. We have a lot on our plates! Just last week, I had to schedule time to stress cry. On my Google Calendar and my paper planner! Do you know how awkward it is to check your planner in front of someone only to tell them you can't make it at six because you blocked off an hour to have human emotions?

Needless to say, I realized that something has to give. I'm not even close to being the busiest person at Drexel, and it's only week six! So, I made up this list of things that I'm cutting out of my life in the interest of saving time. Feel free to join me or add your own. I have a distinct feeling that this is only a "Part One."

1. Doing all of my laundry

Underwear, bras, socks, clothes that you've been meaning to wash for two weeks or so...those clothes need to be washed. Wash the bralette you've been wearing for three days straight because it's more comfortable than a bra. The pair of shorts that barely smell like the vodka that was spilled on them at Cav's? Eh, they can probably go another week. Spritz them with wrinkle remover, and no one will know the difference.

2. Catching up with people you don't care about

No, I don't really want to get coffee with you. We had one class together freshman year, and I had to rewrite all of your sections in the group paper. Leave me alone.

3. Animals I can't physically pet

I'm not going to lie, if I can't play with the animal, I'm just going to get more sad. I've wasted a solid three hours of a day searching for Corgis I can look at on the internet. It's starting to become an addiction. My only request for an intervention is that you actually bring a real Corgi with you. It's for healing, I promise.

4. Cooking

My idea of cooking to begin with is putting some sort of protein in the microwave and throwing vegetables in a skillet. Obviously, it's not all that elaborate or time-consuming to begin with. There's really not much further I can downgrade, but since no one will let me eat 7/11 pizza, I guess Ramen will have to suffice in a time crunch.

5. The 7/11 that doesn't give cash back

Come on 7/11 on 34th and Lancaster. I have to go all the way down to the one on 34th and Market to get cash back and then come back up to get Happy Sunshine. Maybe I should just go to the ATM once in awhile.

I don't know if any of these things will save me actual time, but I'll try them and get back to you. For science, of course.
