Agonising over your career is like haemorrhoids - no-one else really notices and it's only you that feels the pain.

Got my one funny line in today (https://www.threads.net/@julievickwriter/post/C140X9dOZSy)! May try to get in some more later but also in the midst of trying to prep for the semester so may just be the one today!

Writer’s block is like diarrhea; it hits you at the worst time, and you wonder how long it will last.

This was harder than I thought and my results are kind of meh:

Writing your first draft is like learning to crochet - your initial optimism is soon plagued by self-doubt, ripping up your work, and eventually throwing the whole thing in a drawer to deal with "later".

Tipping is like raising a kid--

You’re always giving too much or too little, and everyone has an opinion about it.

Being in debt is like being stuck in a loveless marriage—you keep paying for bad decisions you’ve long ago forgotten.

Too grim? LOL

The meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs is like me having sex. It's only happened once and the dark cloud it released over the earth will result in doom for so very many.
