41 Things That Suck Way More Than Getting Dumped

Breakup

It’s no secret that breakups fucking suck. It doesn’t matter if you are the “dumper” or the “dumpee.” Either way, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance you will feel the need to drown yourself in ice cream and cheap vodka the week following your separation from “the love of your life.” I hate to break it to you, but even though the end of your relationship might make you feel shitty, there are many things in life that suck way more than getting dumped.

  1. Drinking vodka after brushing your teeth.
  2. Driving to Taco Bell drunk at 3 a.m. just to find out it’s closed.
  3. Shacking up with a guy in a top tier frat and leaving without stealing a T-shirt.
  4. Forgetting to sign in minutes after missing chapter the week before formal (see also: being on attendance bad standing the week before formal).
  5. Sleeping through an exam.
  6. Bleeding through your white jeans.
  7. Spending the night in the drunk tank.
  8. Accidentally running over a bunny.

My life is pretty much one big awkward embarrassing moment. Dream-self is a cross between Amy Schumer and Serena Van der Woodsen. I like LITs a little too much and am standards board's worst nightmare. If you don't party on Tuesdays then what's the point of college..? Feel free to email me funny stories and Memes because I love to laugh and there's a chance I might be able to make you laugh too. [email protected] xo
