8 | Thanks for taking away this super helpful program!

9 | Balance? What’s that?

10 | I mean, it’s helpful, but it’s not magic.

11 | Again… the hypocrisy.

12 | I mean, who needs to eat or pay for hoursing, right?

13 | Tempting fate every time…

14 | Feels impossible.

15 | they didn’t cover this in school.

16 | I guess I’ll just be paying this forever.

17 | I love you, but more freedom would be nice.

18 | These states are killing us.

19 | Give us a break, folks!!
