I use men’s deodorant because of cost and effectiveness. Yes you can get a woman’s deodorant for the same price but they tend to be smaller and/or not include antiperspirant (which is a necessity for me)

That is such a pet peeve of mine! When people put “if” in their “apologies”. ‘I’m sorry if I offended you’ NO! Be sorry that you DID offend me! You know you did! That’s why you feel socially obligated to apologize right now!

If it helps, I feel closer to my mother (and the rest of my family) since moving away to school. Not seeing them everyday made me appreciate the time I do have with them more. It got too easy to ignore each other when we were constantly seeing each other in the same house.

I agree about the grades thing. Its a reasonable request to want to know his grades for the first year or two, but he can/should be trusted to self report those grades back to his parents.

I had an infected pelvic fracture and when they wanted to do an MRI while I was in the emergency room my answer that I hadn’t had penetrative intercourse EVER wasn’t good enough for them. They refused to move ahead until I took a pregnancy test. Broken pelvises are extremely painful and difficult to move with. I…

I’ve heard that one. I read an article about a woman who had an abortion and then a few months later felt a baby kicking. Turns out it was twins and only one of them was successfully aborted.

soft drink?

I did that at the beginning of college as well. Hooking up with all the dudes but stopping short of intercourse. My BFF jokingly said to me once “You’re the sluttiest virgin I know”

That’s something that is interesting to me, the vagueness of the term “hook up” I’ve had multiple conversations with friends who automatically assume hook up means penis in vagina sex, whereas I use hook up to intentionally gloss over the details of what we may or may not have done. To me hooking up is anything more…

My grandmother was a native english speaker and she always pronounced every letter in that word. But she also frequently told us that she was going to “warsh” the dishes...

I broke my pelvis last summer. That’s all.

and the sequel, “What Bisexuals Want” is half as long and just says LEISURE.

I had no idea there was such a to do about the word “curate”. Then again... I am actually in an art program and what we do actually is museum curation... I’ve never heard it used outside of that context

That initial interaction actually seems kind of sweet. I love when the store I work at is empty and just one person walks in because then I can chat with them and make the experience good. I’ve also been on the other side of that interaction at a bar during a pretty slow time (week night during the summer in a college…

There was an older couple that came by the DQ I worked at in high school and got chocolate chip milkshakes. They were clearly regulars but I was new and they talked me through the process of making one and they were really nice about it. A group from the nearby nursing home came every so often as well and they always…

reminds me of when the back of my sister’s hair caught on fire during a church procession where everyone had candles. My dad thwacked her in the back of the head to put out the flames and some random lady put her hand on my sister’s shoulder and was like, “are you okay?!” My sister turned to me, wide eyed and just…

not a monster, just a college student :)

As someone with a fridge full of PBR and Yellow Tail, I approve your message.

Oh god, I assumed this was a live in partner and was leaving the flowers on their counter or a side table in their home... but I see now that there’s no evidence of that. If he’s doing that and she’s not his girlfriend yet then he’s quite the creep.
