Poor Tess, even with two assistants she can’t attend school. Transitioning into adulthood is so rough, isn’t it? How could one possibly attend school what with traveling and all? How inconvenient that classes and tests get in the way of being a grownup.
I’d bet real money Tess is the child of some b-list celebrity, with more money than brains.
This add brings to mind an episode of South Park, where everyone’s favorite Subway spokesman confesses he has “AIDS”…but really, c’mon. I know hitting the big 20 is a shocker for a good portion of our generation (unless their parents have no problem with letting them live at home until they’re 30 and being their kid’s personal cleaning service…) and the added stress of attaining a higher level of education can so easily push a person over the edge during such a fragile period of transition… O.o
ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING?! What is the point of moving out of your folk’s house if you require multiple “assistants” to baby you, and can’t even do 10 credits worth of college classes w/o dumping the entire workload on someone else?! If a person is going to do the classwork, they might as well do it for themselves, not for some random slacker who just wants the credit, not the accomplishment!
