Okay, so you didn’t learn something, but that doesn’t mean education all across rural America is terrible.

That sounds super hot and I am jealous.

Everybody with a Ph.D. I've talked to has told me that it's an absolutely miserable experience, usually not worth it, and that I shouldn't get one . . . which kind of just makes me want to get one more. But Option 1 sounds pretty damn good to me. That's what I would pick.

Does he know how you feel? I don't see this ending well . . . :(

Ugggghhhhhh this makes me so angry! Plus they didn't even spell vacuum right in their URL!

Cool. Don't date her.

OMG. When I broke up with my ex boyfriend, I had already moved out and was back in our previously shared apartment to get stuff. He was out getting drunk, or doing whatever the fuck he always did. I got to the apartment and it smelled like pot and I found a bunch of it. Neither of us were smokers. I didn't really…

Books! It doesn't matter if she's too young, they'll be useful eventually.

Oh my god, it is SO bad! I love it. Keep it coming

Maybe get a group to go to brunch or lunch, and then mention you're going afterwards and invite her then?

Oh! I have a question, and what better place to ask it: Do I really need a springform pan to make a cheesecake? And if no, how should I do it?

This is why I broke up with my ex. He could not get it through his thick skull that he did, in fact, have to act like an adult and take responsibility for household chores. It took me two years to realize he was never going to change, no matter how much he said he would.

Thank GOD some stranger on the internet is here to tell us who is and who is not an athlete!

Thanks, everyone, for the reassurance. This is all stuff that I knew, but it helps so much to hear it from other people.

I just brought a new cat home from a friend who's moving and can't take her. She's so sad and scared and it makes me sad :( And now I'm getting anxious that I won't be a good cat mom and that I've made too big of a commitment by taking this cat. Even though rationally I know everything will be fine, and I've wanted a…

Ha, I know perfectly well that this could happen to me too. If it does, that would be okay, but I currently can't even imagine not wanting to leave.

Thanks! I'm not in the same town I grew up in so I only know a couple of people. I know it'll get better once I meet more people and adjust more but I'm just in the whiney, feel sorry for myself phase right now :)

I just moved back to Alaska (where I was born and raised) for what is a really good job that I love, but I hate it here and I don't have any friends in this town and it's sooooo small and not at all the type of place I want to live. My plan is to stay here for no more than 2 years but that seems like an eternity.…

I had less energy and got sick very frequently for a couple of years after I had mono. It sucks :(

Yeah, but I think in the context of a relationship, the other person's health is your business. I wouldn't want to commit to being married to somebody I thought would keel over and die of a heart attack just a few years later.
