I would probably use this. I get really overwhelmed at the mall and have been known to sit and stare at the fountain while my husband goes to buy sunglasses or whatever.

I’m oddly proud of myself for knowing that this happened in Connecticut based on the picture

One of my best friends from college was basically Snooki. She once had a ‘Jersey Shore’ theme party and no one had the heart to tell her that all of her parties were Jersey Shore themed, just inadvertently.

People wonder why I, an atheist liberal feminist, decided to go to a Catholic college. One major reasons was a total lack of Greek life. It really does foster a sense of community when everyone lives in the same dorms, takes the same core classes and goes to the same bars/parties. My school was far from perfect but…

This arguement is so silly because it assumes it’s impossible for college students to do volunteer work or raise money outside the Greek system. It is possible to clean up a park without joining a racist, sexist, classist organization.

I find myself having a drink when I don’t even want one to prove I’m not pregnant at social functions. I should probably just start telling people to mind their own business!

I knew what that .gif was, I knew it would make me cry and I clicked on it anyway. I guess I’m taking an early lunch to go cry in my car.

That’s great! I didn’t quit drinking completely but I went from drinking (a lot ) every night to having a glass of wine maybe once a week. It’s pretty great. I made this decision after I started having panic attacks last summer and realized drinking was making the situation much worse. I am so glad I found some…

Haha nope that’s just what we call subs in CT. I wonder if that’s where the name came from, though?

There’s a huge difference between Italian food and Italian-American food. I’d be shocked if my Sicilian cousins ever ate Chicken Parm.

My high school drop out, construction worker uncle brings a capicola grinder to work everyday. It’s fucking salami.

My husband grew up working class in a resort town in New England. He was WAY more social capital than an upper middle class person from the Midwest. He can talk about places and events with an NYC hiring manager that someone with a McMansion in Ohio has no clue about. I appreciate that this is a problem in our society…

I went to elementary school with the vandalizing Trump supporter! The same elementary school he vandalized, actually. Let’s just say I wasn’t shocked when I found out he was the culprit.

I used to work at a toy store and we had ‘regulars’* who came in with their kids, took the plush animals off the wall and played with them as if they were in their own living room. It was infuriating because it made it impossible for anyone to shop.

Also, do not give me wet money. That’s gross.

Starting IVF injections in two weeks. First time for me. Good luck!

I work for a national retail chain and we won’t hire anyone under 18. Even as busy season temps. I wonder how many other companies have similar policies.

My husband and I are currently trying to get pregnant. I definitely had some misgivings after the election but, like you said, life goes on. My parents had kids during the Reagan years with family members who were struggling with addiction, AIDS and homelessness. I’m 32, I can’t really wait until 2020.

My father taught civics at a public high school for 35 years. After the election he admitted to feelings like he had failed his students and the country. He was a really great teacher, it made me sad.

Baby giraffes and elephants are too much for brain to handle. They’re so big and so little at he same time!
