Here's 2 fantastic talks that I always show in class.

No love for Apple's Reminders yet?

Ok, I have a PhD, and I think this is actually insulting:

shockingly, they're white!

I wondered the SAME THING.

Yes, we do not GIVE you grades. You EARN them. :)

This "cats are useless" thing is the dumbest comment ever. Obviously, you don't know cats.

Most professors are more than willing to put in a little extra effort with a student that shows they're willing to put in some effort, too.

It's simple: Be FRIENDS. First, last, and everything in between. Be best friends.

Definitely doesn't work anymore. :(

Cover it up with a blanket before you leave in the morning?

Instead of Nature's Miracle (which never worked for me ), try ordering some stuff called "Anti-Icky Poo" online. I think Amazon usually has it. We have a beautiful 1950s leather couch that our older cat was peeing on, and we thought it was goners. A few full drenchings with Anti-Icky Poo, letting it air dry between…

You can dilute most cleaners by half with water, too, and get the job done.

If I had a choice between high-waisted pants and skinny pants, I'd chose high-waisted pants any day. I LOATH skinny jeans.

I grew up in a largely insulated farmhouse in Maine. The temp was routinely around ~50 at night (60 during the day) during the winter. I grew up knowing that was the healthy temp. Granted, I used to kick my brother out of the kitchen so I could get dressed by the woodstove. :)

I love Ashleigh Banfield. I remember her reporting right after 9/11 when I lived in NYC. She was the only one at that time who wasn't into objectifying the victims war-mongering, and that was something I deeply appreciated.

Can you say "closet case"???

Sometimes Lifehacker is ridiculous, and this is one of those rare times.

Re: Foaming handsoap. With the Method soap at Target, you can save a bundle by buying the regular hand soap refills, and then refilling the foaming soap bottle with 1/3 soap, and 2/3 water. You'll get 10+ bottles of foaming hand soap for the price of 1 (or 2 if you count the original bottle).

I ask my college classes to try to always sit in the same seat. I have a (not so secret) seating chart, and it really helps me learn people's names.
