The other thing is that I wanted to point out is that no, we aren't qualified for entry level jobs. I'm certainly not. It's one thing to have a couple unpaid internships. They, within themselves, are not bad. They do provide good learning experience. And a couple seems reasonable. But in this market, the entry level…

Well, it's why I have my own mug at work. I get off my shift and have a beer, and I get more beer for my money! WOOO!

There are certain divides among the Millenials, yes. There are the pre-market crash and post market crash. The ones you are in contact with might be the pre-market crash ones. I'm 21, and everyone I…

Yup, sounds exactly like what my school culture was like. Have to take honors or AP, lead or at least be in a lot of after school activities, get a high SAT score, volunteer. My school required a certain number of hours volunteered to graduate, and held whole assemblies about colleges. They straight up said "Don't…

The problem that I have with this narrative is that we're really not expecting these things to be handed to us. We're really not. We do understand that we must work for these things. We've been trying to articulate our problems but they keep being met with "Bootstraps!". Here's the process that we were told to follow…

Yes yes yes. God love my grandparents, because they exemplify literally everything about this mindset. My grandmother is a woman who benefited greatly from her own factory working immigrant mother who paid for all six of her children's private educations. Apparently she learned nothing from that. She and her husband…

You want a house? And a livable wage? Insurance? How about I go all Alec Baldwin on you and talk about closing a lot. Thinking you deserve basic health care and the ability to have food and shelter.... what's wrong with you?

Despite the fact that 'closing' means working 70 hours a week in order to make a livable…

The thing that always gets me is when I hear the Olds talk about wanting to own shit like vineyards when they retire. Dude, you're on Social Security, and I'm the one paying for that. You didn't want to invest in my education, why the hell should I invest in your goddamn vineyard?

It's the abusive mentality. People who have internalized abuse become abusers - there is no "logic" behind it. Victims of abuse, when stuck or stay in an abusive situation, can become the abusers. It's a cycle. I'm finding it hard to explain. When you are victimized, you are stripped of your power. Those have…

You have to take into account Allah, too - the Judeo-Christian god is also the Islamic god. Islam also descended from Abraham, as the Quran opens with Ishmael and Hagar just chillin' in the desert. Ishmael, the first son of Abraham, is the father of the Arabs. Abraham talked to one god only - Yahweh. "Allah" is is the…

No worries haha.

And I suppose it would, but I think you could really make $80k sing even with a house and kids. You have to budget everything and bargain hunt like no tomorrow, but it's possible to live a very comfortable life on $80k, I think. At least my parents made their combined income of $75k work growing up.…

Dang, really? I could do so much with $80k a year. That's four times as much as I currently make, and that's rounding up. That would cover all my bills, I'd be able to make huge dents in my student loans, and I could squirrel money away like no tomorrow. I could even take a nice vacation on that. But then again I live…

The problem I see is that allowing someone's ignorance is allowing the space for fear and hate to grow and spread. While it might not be directly threatening, doesn't mean it can't cause harm. He may not be going out and holding up "God Hates Fags" signs or actively trying to harass or kill LGBT people, but his dumb…

I once rode an old trick pony who would turn on a dime. She turned beautifully, with very minimal reigning. She was terribly insecure though, and if you didn't know what you were doing on her, she would get very nervous and spook easily. But otherwise, she was a great horse to ride. I miss her. Some ponies are…

That picture isn't complete without a rooster and a dog.

I didn't eat food for a 24 hour period due to school stress, and then when I did finally eat my body overreacted and I had awful gas cramps. I was curled up on my bed for three until I farted all the pain away. Since then I've learned that I absolutely cannot skip a meal or my body will hate me forever for it.

It sounds good in theory, but in practice that's gonna require a whole lot more skill in the communication department. If these people can't even talk about the sex they want with each other and keeping that relationship thriving, how can you expect allowing other people into that relationship will magically make it…

Whelp. Time to go have an awkward conversation with my boyfriend.

*shudder* ughughguhguhguh Khal Drogo.... he was the reason I watched Game of Thrones. That behind....

haha I was just looking at Modcloth! I haven't found any other websites yet because I've been drooling over their one pieces, but I'm definitely going to do my homework. I've worn bikinis but never felt really truly sexy in them, so I feel like these one pieces will do just the trick.

Yes, I agree. I'm going for retro swimwear for summer because the silhouette will be much more flattering for my figure. Plus, classic retro! Everyone loves retro.
