Is it normal i haven't taken a shower in 2 weeks

I'm a girl. I live on my own, I have a job working with kids as blunt as bricks. I go to school.
I haven't showered in 2 weeks. Thus far, no one has said ANYTHING about any smells while I'm around. Not even a cursory "Does anyone smell that?"
I only haven't showered because I'm dealing with work and school. I get home after work exhausted and wake up too late to do anything in the morning because I have to go to school.

        You should try to shower or bath anyway. Even of you're that tired you have to force yourself to otherwise you'll never have the energy. Falling asleep is nice when your drained but If I feel that way I get an energy drink after a long work day. And go straight home to shower. If I don't do it right away there is no chance I would at all

          I started out that way at first. However, it's gotten to the point where I've literally taken a seat, closed my eyes, and woken up with my alarm blaring. I'm so tired lately that I'm running on next to no energy every day.

            Oh that sucks. I go to work at 6AM and finish at 8PM. I'm always tired so forcing myself to be up late to finish chores is all I can do. When I wake up I'm so tired I can barely move

    You had enough time to do a google search, create an account here, make a post AND make long replies but no time to shower? You have time, you're just not using it to do certain things in favor of others.

      I have access to a phone during downtime at work. *Acting as if I have access to a computer and free time outside of five minutes. Also acting as if I can't type up a stupid reply in 2 minutes*

          Where? I'm at work or at school when I type these replies. *literally spends three hours at home every day.* the only time I'm home is when I am asleep. I sometimes have barely enough time to throw on clothes!

    I work from home, and have appointments on the road, so, have sometimes gone (if I'm home), maybe 3 days, but that's it. Can't imagine 2 weeks..Come on, for real? Two weeks? You can't squeeze in 15 minutes to jump in the shower? That's not being hectic busy..It's lazy.

      K so tell me when I can squeeze 15 minutes in when I go from school, to work, to second job, then from there have to walk (3 miles) home as there's no transportation. By the time I get home, it's 12 am. I have to wake up at 4:30 to walk to school. Even then, I get to school by 7:55, which is cutting it really close as 8:00 is late. I live on my own, so weekends are dedicated to taking care of my grandma at her house for 3 hrs on both saturday and sunday(cooking food for the week for her, cleaning the places she can't reach, scheduling her meds). Then I get home, to clean the apartment, go grocery shopping, make myself enough meals to last the week, and then go to work. In fact, I'm at work right now, taking advantage of a weird lack of customers (it's dunkin donuts, this is really weird).

      So tell me again, where can I squeeze 15 minutes in that? Oh, and I've tried showering right before bed (at 12 am). I've fallen asleep in the shower as soon as the water hit me. Would have banged my head if I hadn't woken up as my feet slipped, grabbing onto the shower pole. (that weird bar in the wall of the shower).

      I have no time to be lazy. My schedule literally doesn't allow for this. I think the last time I had any modicum of leisure time was spring break.

      My question wasn't about business, or laziness. Pls don't assume that I'm lazy because I don't shower.

        I feel like you made this just to argue with people giving their honest opinion. Quit wasting time and take a damn 5 minute shower.

        Get a damn bicycle, that will shave a lot of time and effort off your commute.

        It really does sound like you don't use your time wisely, don't try to find solutions to save time.

        Fucking hitchhike to work even and take a shower in the locker room.

        School is not going on over the weekend.

        You're making more excuses not to shower than it would take to just take a quick one.

          However, work goes on on the weekend. If you notice, I said what I do on the weekend.
          With what money am I supposed to get a bicycle?? All of my money is going towards college next year, living expenses, bills, food. By the time the month is over I have $5 to myself. "Save that $5!" You'd say. I'd rather give that $5 to my grandma to help her pay her bills.
          And you assume I have a locker room... because?
          I've thought of all of your reasonings. I've hitched a ride maybe twice - how am I supposed to hitch a ride when barely anyone is going in my direction??

    Normal? IDK, but as a general rule if no one else notices you're probably fine. All these people talking about how gross it is are such wilting flowers; y'all know that most people don't actually need to shower everyday right? If you feel self conscious about it you can always just give yourself a quick "sink shower"

    I have trouble showering when my personal spaces like my apartment, car and desk are out of control dirty or unorganized. I am a really clean person but I seem to let my life slip into a disaster every month or so for a couple weeks. It's a personal issue I haven't worked on yet that has followed me my whole life.

    Keep your life clean if it isn't and you will probably keep your body cleaner too

      You would assume incorrectly.
      Edit: nipping this in the bud here before people reply with "oh you have the time for a bf but not to shower??"
      Literally spend all day outside. He visits during work. We see each other during school. He comes over to help clean the apartment from time to time.

    Some people are germaphobes these days.

    You dont have to shower everyday like some people think because it was brainwashed into their head, by societies supposed "values" or something

    I dont understand the thinking with that. And supposedly showering everyday is bad for you anyway, cause it could dry your skin. (Of course if your using hot water)

    Even george carlin would disagree with showering EVERY DAY

    Unless of course you get shit on by 1000 birds flock in unison, taking dumps on you switching turns.

      Like I said below, My schedule is so hectic that I literally get like maybe 3-4&1/2 hrs of sleep a day. If I'm lucky. I'm exhausted by the time I get home! So it's finally good to see someone who understands this!
      I think what everyone got confused about was the fact that I've said no one has mentioned an odor, and latched onto that weird thing where they go "Oh people don't wanna say it outloud..."
      But I've asked people, close friends (some who have no filter) and they've said that I just smell like my perfume, and strangely enough with an undercurrent of coconut oil - which i don't use lol.
      And when I mentioned I work with kids, they completely ignored that kids by default have no filter. They make faces, swish their hands in front of their faces, scrunch their noses.

        Yea people gotta understand 3 hours is ridiculously short amount of time to sleep.

        lol yea obviously they know you stink

        and obviously you know you stink. but it doesnt seem like theres much you can do about it since your ALWAYS doing something

        and working hard. which i understand.

      That's just nasty, but, yes, for the most part, the vagina is a self cleansing organ.
