WHY the FUCK would you suspend a student with drug issues? “Hey, you have a potentially serious problem, let’s keep you OUT of a theoretically structured and supportive environment.” 

They were my students when they were in high school. I usually refer to kids as students rather than former students. I know that designation creates confusion, but I look at it like this: once they've been in the class with me, they're forever my students, and I am forever their teacher. 

Thank you for the HELPFUL replies! I am going to start with a community college after reading replies. If I am successful after 2 years, I will move to online to finish program (I have looked at Arizona University Online and they seem reasonable, but this is just first night of Googling!). These replies have given me…

Hi, Master level social worker here! Congratulations and best wishes on your own recovery journey. It’s awesome to hear that you benefited from EMDR so much that you’d like to carry the torch. You may want to look into programs offered by community colleges in your area— they can be a reputable, low-cost way to build…

consider looking into your local community college (if you’ve got one near you0 for the first 2 years of higher ed. it’s far, far cheaper and, as long as the school is accredited, your credits transfer to a 4 yr. college

Avoid for-profits. Not only notorious places like Phoenix and Capella—some places like GCU that have nonprofit status are actually serviced by for-profit corporations, which isn’t ideal. For-profits are generally more interested in tuition dollars than they are in graduation rates. They’ll give you tons of help on…

No advice, but you sound pretty motivated and amazing! I think you’ll be able to do anything you put your mind to.

I’m remembering Deadspin. 

I let someone stay in my old apartment for the last few months of my lease and I was horrified when I went to move everything out. All along the wall above the bed was this weird, over a foot tall + width of bed grease stain from all the fucking hair gunk he and his girlfriend used. It was disgusting.

Fun random fact: I met Cody Simspon at an airport bar in Europe, summer of 2014. I had no idea who he was, I was hanging out solo having a glass of wine and I noticed the two men next to me pounding multiple shots of espresso. I said something sarcastic and we struck up a friendly conversation. He was traveling with…

Sometimes I’m glad that I’m comfortable being alone.

Until now, I thought Cody Simpson was somehow related to Jessica and Ashley. Or he was somehow Aaron Carter’s brother.

She looks like she was made out of all the crap God had left over after building Britney Spears.

But now Jay-Z’s working with the NFL, so...everyone’s terrible here. Except Rihanna.

The thin blue line.

This is what happens when you hire Jesse smollet to come up with a plan...

She’s rich, cute, has a well-connected family and got the kids she wanted from the last husband. I think she’s in a pretty good place, actually. Also, “kinda” has no apostrophe. 

Why? 

I’m surprised you’re getting so much pushback from other commenters. I, too, was a fan of Starbucks’ protein boxes, or at least, I was until they revamped their rewards program so that people like me couldn’t game it so effectively.
