If you can, plan bathroom trips between classes or during lunch. Make a note of which teachers are strict about leaving the classroom, and ensure you do a quick undies check right before their classes start. If you\u2019re having an emergency &#8211; try the age-old \u201cI need to see the nurse\u201d excuse.
