I gave up on NYE when I was like 18. My best friend and I both never make plans on NYE and instead just show up wherever we get an invite precisely because of this.

There have been a few articles out recently that discuss this very issue, and how we should start to deconstruct the stigma of talking about salary so that we all get a fair shot at being paid equal.

It took me a few seconds to realize this haha

I guess when people hear terrible things they don’t want to think of those things ever happening to them. I’m not excusing it because I think victim-blaming IS terrible, but I know that when I was younger and I heard about a car accident, for example, I would always try to justify it in my head to reassure myself that…

I used to watch Sister Sister all the time whenever I went to my grandma’s house in the 90s. I remember she would make macaroni and cheese and then sundaes for dessert and we would watch together, usually during the summer when my parents were working and she would take care of me and my brother. Good memories. :-)…

For real, some of these comments are pretty weird. Its incredibly rude to say “fuck off” to someone who simply says “hi.” Sure, maybe sometimes we don’t want to talk to people but that’s part of being human and having interactions. Get over yourselves.

I did Blue Apron for a couple weeks and it was fun, but I ended up cancelling. The recipes were really delicious and gave me ideas for my own cooking. However, I felt that its not really a time-saver like they try to advertise. You still have to cook the meal. In my case, it did not save me trips to the grocery store…

I JUST got done doing an interstate move, 1,000 miles apart! I didn’t have much stuff at my old city so I sold/donated mostly everything, then just bought new stuff at my new place. Every time I move I always say “I’m never moving again.” It is SO exhausting! At least its a good workout? That is what I tell myself at…

Ugh, WISDOM TEETH. I had all four taken out at the same time when I was 21. The top two were fully grown out so the extraction wasn’t a big deal and they felt healed after like three days. My bottom two were impacted, however, so they had to be cut out. The bottom two took about two weeks to fully recover, but oh man…

Thank you!!!

Sometimes when I leave for work on a cold morning at 6:30am I look at my cat curled up fast asleep in MY bed and get genuinely jealous.

Sorry to pounce on you (heh heh) but do you think you could give me some recommendations as to products I can buy to keep my cat entertained? I just moved to a one-bedroom apartment and want to make sure she is stimulated enough. She is pretty laid-back, but I want to make my apartment a bit more cat-friendly.

Same with my little girl. She has utterly no interest in leaving my air-conditioned, quiet, comfy apartment. The windowsill is good enough for her.

I feel similarly as a millennial. I am 25 but I live alone, have a good job, pay my bills, and am generally a positive and respectful person. I definitely had some growing pains directly out of college but I feel pretty stable in my mid-20s. So this whole “your entire 20s are just a mess” trope is really confusing…

Agreed, also I just keep thinking about how choosing to live with someone is a huge step and to be honest, things like this happening are the risk you take when signing a lease with a partner. I am in no way against cohabiting, but I do think you need to be aware and prepared for the possibility that things could go…

I think that makes the most sense. Arrange to stay with family and friends for the immediate aftermath of the break-up and get a storage unit for a month. Keep helping with rent for an agreed amount of time (30 days or two months, for example) then sign a new lease.

No one is saying that she should continue living with him indefinitely. People are saying that leaving in the middle of a lease is simply logistically wrong. If the guy is a nice dude that she just doesn’t want to be with anymore, fine, it happens, and no one is saying they should try to stay together. But to have…

I will watch this. I normally enjoy shows about older millennials/younger generation X. But! I think its officially turning into a trope (just like the whole “I’m such an edgy bad mom!” genre...ugh) and I hope this trend pumps the brakes.

I will read this, because I am a Florida native (who just left!) and also because I realized she wrote that book Tampa, which was O.O

Agreed. Living together means quite literally combining your lives, and while emotionally she may just want out right now, logistically that just cannot be done. I am single and live alone, but if I lived in a place with a partner and we split rent and utilities and he just left one day in the middle of a lease, I…
