As a corollary to #4, I’d add:
For me, I’m fairly comfortable with how I am (most of the time). I’m not shy about asking for what I want or need. The problem comes in that people either don’t believe me or overestimate their own ability to deal with my particular fun brand of problems (which is not their fault - who among us hasn’t bitten off more…
The source close to Christin Ouzo is totally Christine Ouzo, right? Because up until this article I totally forgot she existed and that girl is waaaay too thirsty to go away just yet.
Poor soldier, having to attend a Rams game. Hasn’t he sacrificed enough?
“oh sexual partner, would you please consider maybe playing with my sexual organs until I reach arousal and then I can also touch your sexual organs and then perhaps we can have intercourse?” - that is about how sexy it feels. hahaha.
I am a proponent of “tune up” counseling either through a professional or local church. Sometimes it is just good to talk to one another about things with a third party facilitating. Outside that, a simple lifestyle change like asking your partner if you could both just turn off the tv one night a week, take a walk,…
Good Luck and be sure to capitolize on all of this media coverage to generate even more donations! Your Randy Mac sisters are behind you and hope you can keep the school and its traditions viable long-term.
Brava to you all. A job well done and a testament to nostalgia and glory of a good University. I wish the campus all the best and am very glad to see this outcome.
I've been thinking about this and it occurs to me that it's possible that I, being at some distance from the events was able to put the pieces together a little more even though all my info was coming directly from her. I felt like from what she was saying that they were pretty sure the school was going to wind up…
Why yes, yes they are :) I definitely didn't get the impression from her that she thought it would be happening anything like this quickly (more like they would try to hold on for a few more years) so she probably is in a bit of shock in that regard. Plus, even when intellectually you think something bad is going to…
Uh, the liberal arts school I went to in VA is doing extremely well and consistently ranks in top charts of value for quality of education for schools in the Southeast region...
From what I experienced, I was able to have more discussion time in class than I would have at a co-ed institution. Statistically, males are called on more often than women in classes. In addition, I pursued more leadership roles knowing that I did not have to compete with a male for it. Now that I have graduated…
BUT! STEM employers complain to career counselors that many of their new hires lack writing, critical analysis, and communication skills, and that they wish their hires had more historical context for some of the issues involved in the projects they work on, be it for building bridges or biotech. (Source, a career…
I definitely get what you're saying, as I work at a top research university now and see the difference between Big U and Lib Arts. However, I have just as many anecdotes about students from LAs going onto PhDs just fine, and often much more prepared for the actual work load of graduate programs. When I was in grad…
I wish I could like this ten thousand times.
This story touches home. More similarities than I would care to admit. You see I am a disabled veteran and I stuffer from IBS. Now, I KNOW that I have it, and I tailor my life around it. I do not eat anything when I know I have to drive a car. I avoid fast food, greasy food, spicy food. I ALWAYS have AD pills on hand,…
Miraculously, my old blue jeans, now forever dead and crap-encrusted at the bottom of some Texas landfill, had held the line.
