I think Valentine’s Day is kind of embarrassing, and I say this as one half of a couple. Back in college, my friend and I agreed that the best course of action is to just pretend like its any other day. Its cliche and cringey to cry about it, and it’s shallow and pompous to celebrate it. I just ignore it.

I’m a teacher, and I can’t tell you how important point #2 - Start at the Bottom - is for everyone involved: student, parent, and teacher. I want your child to reach their absolute highest potential. I want them to be happy and comfortable in my class, I want them to enjoy our lessons, I want them to succeed. If there…

I’ve never ventured in these posts/comments section because I’ve had no interest (not insulting those who do! I get it, but not for me). This one intrigued me.

Yeah. I teach high school and my students were laughing at this all day. 

In my senior year I asked my principal if I could take an extra history class instead of the school’s required year of P.E. and he said yes. Always hated P.E. and always will. 

I think the incessant commenting on women’s size during pregnancy is god damn horrible. It feels like its still somewhat socially acceptable to talk about how “huge” a woman is when she is pregnant but I feel like it would really piss me off if people said that to me were I pregnant. Not to mention the women who have…

I’m a teacher as well, and I’ve known a lot of admins who really get involved in the community and develop close relationships with students. Its a part of education. The superintendent in my hometown has come to students’ houses when they’re sick or missing. This isn’t “fishy” to me at all. 

Yeah, I really don’t like how people act like this is how ALL millennials behave. I’m a millennial and neither me nor any of my friends even knew about Fyre Festival until it showed up on the news. We don’t all sign up for weird elite credit cards nor do we aspire to be influencers. I’m a freaking high school teacher,…

I really hope Dallas gets another season! 

My no-spend January has been going even better than expected. I find that once I get in the mindset of not spending money, its pretty easy to just not buy anything. I check my credit card statement every day and I am extremely under budget so far. I was only going to do this for January, but I think I’ll extend it. If…

Yeah, when all the “both sides” started surfacing I looked for some indication that Phillips was responsible for more of the blame, but I never found it. All that happened was we learned more about BHI. Phillips still didn’t do anything other than wander over while beating his drum.

EXACTLY. I agree with every part of your comment. First of all, if you’re taking students on a field trip to a city, you need to prep them for the groups and people they may encounter. This goes especially for students who are coming from small towns or rural areas. Second, where are the freaking chaperones? I’m a…

As a high school teacher who has chaperoned many overnight trips (including Trump’s inauguration...talk about heated) I still remain utterly baffled as to why there is just seemingly no adult presence at this school at all?????????????

This is just completely insane. 

For real. My “failed” relationships were wonderful periods in my life that I look back on fondly because of what I learned. Its good to have failed relationships so you know what you like and what you need and what works!

When I was first out of college and starting my career, I lived at home, thus having a lot of disposable income. I would buy books all the time. As soon as I moved to a higher cost of living area and was responsible for 100% of my expenses, I stopped buying books completely. I only use the library and couldn’t be…

4 to 5 sexual partners and 2 to 3 committed relationships by age 27 is literally me. I feel good about it. Sounds like Average Anna and I would be good friends! 

I hate Brittany and don’t understand why the rest of the cast thinks she is perfect and infallible. Plus she’s definitely forcing her accent more this season. Her screaming “I’M ENGAAAAAAAAAAGED” on their deck made a part of me die inside. 

Agreed. I hate that I feel for Stassi this season because I used to utterly despise her. But she especially had a rough episode on Monday, first the meltdown with Beau (which I can understand as we all know when you’ve only had terrible relationships you freak out about little things because that’s what you’re used…

Every single guy I went on a date with when I was on the apps looked much better in person than they did in photos.
