I got my BA degree in English from one of my state university's smaller campuses, one of which was in my hometown and extremely cheap. Didn't get the college experience (it was more of a community-college feel), but also don't have any student debt since there were a lot of scholarships available to me to cover the…

Oh I completely agree. But my family was by no means wealthy— lower middle class...a lot of struggling. Debt collectors calling non-stop sort of thing. When it came to college, I made a sacrifice. Instead of going to the main university, I went to one its cheap, smaller campuses in my hometown that everyone in my high…

A dream job can also be defined outside of titles or fields. For example, my dream job would be something that allows me to be flexible, to be an important part of a team where my input has demonstrable effects, and isn't public-facing, as I worked retail too long and can't deal with customers face-to-face anymore.

When I was earning my English degree, everyone kept asking me what I was going to do with it— what career I was pursuing. When I said I didn't know and didn't really care, they got uncomfortable. My goal was always to travel, not get a career, and none of my classmates understood that since they all bought into the…

I went to college not for a career, but to learn. I never had a "dream job" which always made me feel like I was doing something wrong. Now 5 years after graduation, I have no stable career in sight, and really have no interest in one. My degree and random jobs have allowed me to pursue my real passion— travel. I had…

Though cat cafes are kind of a thing in South Korea, and though I love cats obsessively, I only went to one in the two years I lived there, and never went back. They're kind of creepy in a too-intimate sort of way. And the cats were sleeping most of the time, but people kept trying to wake them up to get them to do…

I truly do not believe those two things are compatible. There is absolutely nothing logical nor scientific that leads us to deduce that a higher power exists outside of just human imagination.

I watched two young kids pelt a swan with rocks while visiting a castle in Ireland. I did nothing. After, I questioned my moral compass. I was afraid of getting yelled at by their parents, so I watched them hurt a beautiful animal. I suck.

As MLK Jr said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Do you want to live in a society that fosters and protects blatant ignorance of science and rationality as long as it all flies under the banner of religious belief? What good does that do for the future of our…

The more I read into all these comments, the sadder I became for all of you. You wear your closed-mindedness like a badge of pride. Yes, at one point I avoided Titanic, and Harry Potter, and Breaking Bad because everyone was talking about it and raving about it and I was sitting in my dark corner thinking I was better…

"Food, Inc." gives you a pretty good idea of what they do. They're a monopoly, and they want to rule the world.

I'm a skinny-fat person. While I always knew it, I learned this weekend that I cannot climb 164 steps without pausing for breath at least 5 times. And also that I cannot do this without my heart feeling like it's going to explode. But my persistent existential crisis makes me wonder what the point of exercise is when…

This is just a shitty idea in general. It has women objectifying men in the same way women have fought against for ages. Even worse, it turns relationships into a commodity. Reviewing people's personal attributes like you'd Yelp review the taco counter down the street is dehumanizing.

As a 26 year old, this comment thread is depressing for the opposite reason. It makes me feel even more abnormal than I already did. Not only do I have a low-libido, but I'm absolutely exhausted most of the time for no explicable reason. And if I'm not exhausted, I have terrible headaches, so that's a…

Seriously. Fuck the SAT. I was in all the gifted classes growing up, had grades that soared above all my friends, and only scored a 1070, which was lower than every single person I asked. I fucking scored lower in English than I did in math.

It's really not the "selfie" that bothers me. It's that people post a constant barrage of them for one purpose: ATTENTION.

This is infuriating. He even tried to defend it earlier today by going on and on about how important mothers are.

Ugh...he's even retweeting people's remarks out of context to make him look good. What a terrible person.

I was born in raised in Indiana, but I now live in Oregon, so I've been paying attention to this bill's journey. I've also been very disappointed that Jezebel nor other outlets have really even noticed what Indiana has been trying to do. Good to see it's finally mentioned.

It's on par with Breaking Bad, for sure. I did not like Orange is the New Black and found it exploitative so I can't speak to that. But it's definitely an amazing show.
