Clark Student is Busy

Sarah Matthews (‘17) has a lot of things to get done. Despite numerous friends’ attempts to sympathize with Matthews, she continues to tell them, “You just don’t understand. There’s not enough time in the day. I’m so busy.”

Matthews has begun to exhibit troubling symptoms, including the interjection of her to-do list into unrelated conversations.

Matthews’ roommate, Melissa Rogers, told The Freudian Slip, “The other day I was trying to confide in Sarah about my boyfriend’s adderall addiction, but she just kept saying ‘Yeah I totally get it. I have two papers and 200 pages of reading to get done before Thursday.’ Then she said she needed some ‘me-time’ and watched four episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.’”

Matthews has also begun to exaggerate about her levels of caffeine consumption.

“I’ve had three cups today. Just straight black coffee. I don’t do cream and sugar. I just don’t have the time.”

Upon further examination, Matthews’ thermos was found to contain pink lemonade.

“I have my day scheduled down to the minute. At 1 o’clock, I have a nap. Then I have a coffee date from 2:00 to 3:00, then yoga from 4:00 to 5:00, then dinner before book club. I might have to just bistro it tonight. I’ll be exhausted when this day is over, and I still have to respond to three emails!”

The Freudian Slip followed Matthews to her coffee date to observe. What started out as a cordial conversation between friends quickly escalated when Matthews pulled out her color-coded planner and threw it at her companion.

“Can you believe it? It’s so like me to overload myself, you know? God, I just have so much going on in my life.”
