Due to some weird circumstances, I lived in a 4 bedroom/2 bath for a year by myself. I was like 23 years old and owned nothing. The only rooms I used were the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. I felt so wasteful!!!!

Agreed...I actually don’t like too much space because it creeps me out and I feel like I will buy more things than I need. That said, I definitely do not want to live in a 200 sq foot tiny house. My 690 sq foot one bedroom apartment is good for me!

I loved Gawker and started reading Jezebel when I was in high school in about 2007 (and I think Jez was really young at that time). I was devastated when Gawker was shut down but relieved that Jezebel has stayed dependable. I’ve been reading and commenting on Jez for ten years...I’ve grown up with this place...this…

I had a coworker who baked a lot, and her baked goods were delicious. She put a lot of time and effort into them and would bring them in to work. Women would come up, drone on for five minutes on whether it was “worth it,” and then either cut or pull apart a PIECE of whatever baked good was there. My coworker who…

Isn’t it bizarre? I have always been thin and have been lucky enough to have a good relationship with food - my parents were healthy but never commented on my weight, I grew up being active, etc. But at my first full-time office job, the comments and relationship with food from other women was just out of control. If…

I am a high school teacher (and I’m young, I graduated high school in 2010 so social media was just starting to play a role but I kind of escaped it) and I honestly think social media is a HUGE reason as to why kids are having higher rates of anxiety, depression, and ultimately suicide. Social media is not inherently…

I had an acquaintance who was terrified to drink tap water because of fluoride, but she smoked cigarettes............ 

I get what you are saying, but there are a shitload of bands out there that make very aggressive and socially-conscious music.

The comments bashing her online are insane. I am not a fan of anyone but the comments I’ve seen are seriously just so disgusting and disheartening. And Rob seems like a terrible, garbage person. Its so weird that people think he is completely innocent in all this?????? Sane people don’t go on Instagram diatribes…

Oh god, that movie...yes, it felt too accurate. Davie, Westin, Pembroke Pines...

Counterpoint - I too am a native Floridian, born and raised in Miami and my parents are about to retire to the Florida Keys. Grew up very much doing Florida things - boating, camping, road trips, snorkeling, all that fun stuff. I think this post does capture a feeling of Florida, and I’d go ahead and argue that…

This article got me all emotional and nostalgic. In one week I am moving out of Florida to start a new job in Virginia. I’m ecstatic, as I’ve been wanting to leave Florida for a while now. But I was born and raised here, my whole family lives here, and my Grandma ended up in Miami in the 1920s...when it was barely a…

My same reaction. That’s...I just...wow.

I watched the whole thing, but I hated in the first half how the main character was always running around screaming and dancing and jumping like a maniac. It was just weird, and the acting was very mediocre. Also at the end when she (SPOILERS) breaks up with the guy, I think she says something like “I wasted two years…

I just returned the Girlboss memoir to my library. I got halfway through and just could not finish it. It was such a sell-out, capitalistic, faux-feminist nightmare that I was actually getting angry reading the condescending “advice” doled out by someone who may or may not have been a terrible (girl)boss. Watched the…

YES! My mom (baby boomer) will always have some very basic question and I’ll google it on my phone and figure it out for her and she is always so shocked. I had a former roommate who once fixed a flat tire by watching a video on YouTube. I learned how to do basic handiwork around my house by google and YouTube. Most…

I’m right there with ya. I was born in 1991 so I am 100% a millennial.

I wanted to chime in here with the rest of the commenters. I would say that the cool thing about renting out your property is that you can at least try it, and if it doesn’t work out, you can always sell it. My mom unexpectedly inherited a house a few years ago and they fluctuated between selling it and renting it. My…

I am 25 and in two weeks I will be moving to a new city to start a new job, and I rented a one bedroom apartment just for myself. I’ve been living with roommates and family members over the past several years, and I’m sooooo excited to have my own place! I hated living with roommates, and I really want to have at…

I will never understand the appeal of LDR! She seems like a sweet person but the songs are just so contrived and boring.
