The date’s disapproving mother works for the newspaper, is my guess.

Burritos in that part of the world are huge!

That said what this article also doesn’t mention is that most births are just your standard text book cases where nothing overly dramatic happens.

thatz not okay

I happen to be a fan of goal oriented therapy. However. It’s not for everyone. Your therapist sounds almost dangerous. To make you feel that way IS NOT OK. I have no better advice than to seek out somebody more capable with treating your issues. You are not the problem, your therapist is.

Tough “love” isn’t appropriate for those who already feel unsafe and threatened by the world, and if she doesn’t understand that, she’s not helping.

Pretty much any curry that calls for coconut milk you can easily substitute Greek yogurt for instead. You just have to make sure you temper the yogurt very slowly - leave it out for a few hours to come to room temp and then add your curry to the yogurt a few spoonfuls at a time so the yogurt comes up to temperature…

Good luck on grad school! I’m starting this fall. Suuuuper excited. Kind of excited just to move out of Austin since most of my friends have already graduated and moved. So now just bored all the time.

It’s like when you see someone with a hideous baby and so you scream ‘oh god why does that face exist in the world!’ And throw marbles at it.

I’m doing the talk therapy thing now and I’m doing a lot better, luckily my asthma and allergies are pretty well controlled right now but when I'm having an asthma flare my anxiety gets worse. My physician prescribed me medication for anxiety but I never took it. I carried it around until it expired but the idea of…

Ahh you are so welcome! Believe me I totally understand. I told myself 90th percentile or bust, and would not let anyone tell me otherwise! Also, I think that quora link includes the NOVA quant books (they are the toughest quant questions) and if you’re really aiming up there, I’d recommend only focusing on the hard…

Watching POTUS at his last White House Correspondents’ dinner... I’m going to miss him so MUCH!

I feel compelled to answer this given that I was recently accepted to grad school and spent the better half of 2015 buried in my GRE books. I highly recommend Magoosh and Manhattan Prep. More spefically the Magoosh online prep (download the Vocab apps as well) and the Manhattan prep 500 essential Vocab flash cards and…

Image upload failed. Trying this again. Here’s my new kitty, Apricot. Brought home yesterday.

Good for you for going for it. When I went to my grad school info session, the alum (who is a VP of HR in a big company) straight up said to go for positions you may think you aren’t qualified for because you don’t check the boxes listed on the job description. She said you never know how something you don’t think is…

This is Ivor. He is spoiled.

Thank you. *bows* I’m old and I’ve been through a lot of interviews.

It’s been a month since my dad died and I’ve been at loose ends. The job I was on that took me to Vietnam is over and I’m now in Detroit for 5 months. Quite a change... but I’ve been here before and I like it and I’m getting back into my baking and cake decorating (hello 30% off coupon at Michael’s). It’s going to be…

I’m flying to another city for a job interview tomorrow for a position that would be amazing for my career. I’m incredibly underqualified for the job, so it’s a long shot, but it’s exciting to be considered.

Are we not watching nerd prom (aka the White House Correspondents Dinner)?
