I just bought a pair of the Dr. Scholl’s flats at DSW and they are super cute and also insanely comfortable. I’m probably going to buy more. I’ve been wearing Payless flats for a while and its just not good for my feet, I decided to invest in some real shoes recently and its worth it!

For real. The authoritarians really came out of the woodwork for this one. “Rules are RULES. If they tell you to do something, YOU DO IT.” Jesus christ.

Worst nightmare! A few months ago I was flown up for a job interview (dream job) and the flight on the way up was overbooked. Fortunately I was not taken off and enough people volunteered to reschedule for vouchers so there was no issue, but I was really nervous for a second. Overbooking can really cause some problems!

I flew to DCA around a month ago and they overbooked the flight. I had a job interview I was going to so I couldn’t give up my seat, but there was a married couple behind me arguing over whether to take the offer or just fly home. IIRC, they were offered like $1,000 in vouchers and $300 in cash. The husband really…

There is this amazing concept in which people have different opinions, tastes, and preferences. Seriously, its awesome!

Its escapism. I went through a difficult social issue about a year ago and due to full time grad school and full time work I wasn’t able to do much outside of my apartment. As a result, when I had free time, I watched Real Housewives. Its just mindless entertainment that lets you turn off your brain for a bit and…

Are the other seasons streaming anywhere????

I love TV and unabashedly will watch anything but this actually looks insufferable.

Sometimes I feel like there’s a sweet spot in childhood where kids aren’t really scared of anything. I feel like a lot of these movies were kind of creepy but we loved them as kids, and now as adults we watch and we’re like “wow, that’s actually really scary.”

I saw a video clip the other day of that time Tyra was talking to the contestants and starts to get dizzy, and then faints. Its all so over the top and absurd and reminded me of how I used to love watching that show.

You have to give him space. Its the only thing that can work after a breakup. I’ve found that in breakups that were mutual/practical/not terrible, its even worse to have contact because it makes it easier to either get back together or never fully break up, which gets messy if new people come along. Breakups are the…

I got my dream job, and I’m moving to Washington, D.C.!!!!!!

Signs was REALLY scary for me.

These are actually really good guidelines.

Folklore is a truly incredible album.

My parents have slept in separate rooms for around 15 years. They have been married over 30 years, happy, equals, supportive, and best friends. So many people simply cannot wrap their heads around the fact that my parents sleep in separate rooms. I remember in high school my friends used to ask “are you sure its not…

This is why, despite all the insanity and annoyances and insane workload during the academic year, I still love and continue teaching. That summer vacation is pure magic.

No I completely understand, I’m in my mid-20s and it was scary how closely I related to and understood that comment. I’ve had relationships where I’ve grappled with that exact question - I want more out of life and want to move on and adventure, yet some of these connections are so strong and I don’t know if I should…

I feel like Jessa might overdose.

I genuinely love Girls as well, and its really special to me because I actually am the age and demographic this show targets. It premiered when I was in college, and I was 20. I’ve watched it as it has aired, and I’m 25 now. I think I’m a couple years behind the main characters (I’m assuming they’re late-ish 20s) but…
