Dear Glow Cloud,

I find myself needing extra time in the day – there’s just too much to do! Can you use some of your super awesome Glow Cloud powers to help a brother out?

Sincerely,

Needs More Time

Dear Time,

I could very easily stretch time, freeze time, or rewind time. That being said, I won’t. It does not benefit me at all. I’m technically not a student, although I live here. I have no essays or exams to cram for, and it seems to me that playing with time would get in the way of my true goals – world domination.

I recommend picking up a copy of Time Management for Dummies. Sure, taking time out of your day to read it will set you behind initially, but you need to think of the bigger picture. Take my advice: the only one who can help you with this is you. It may not be feasible for you to take a week off from your paying job, but if you cut out extraneous activities like video games, reading for pleasure, and sleep, you’ll be just fine.

All Hail,

Almighty Glow Cloud
