Debate with your friends over which Riverdale OTP is cuter: Varchie or Bughead.
Yell at your parents for not buying your favorite Din Tai Fung take-out (which they should’ve done because you’re under a lot of stress, as you keep reminding them).
Lose all your friends and social contacts for updating your status to “STRESSED, DEPRESSED, AND CARBS-OBSESSED”.
