Needed this today. I got let go and while I have quite a few job interviews lined up so I shouldn’t have too long of a gap, I know that my chosen field (which I love) will never make the most money or be glamorous to most others. It’s always good to be happy with what you have.
Amélie is the French movie that tries too hard to be French. I’ve seen it countless times while studying French and never met an actual French person who liked it.
BF is uncut, and it took a little getting used to at first in some ways, but overall it’s been really great! If I were single and hadn’t encountered an uncircumcised peen, I still wouldn’t not sleep with the guy because he wasn’t. Sex is good!
The best thing you can do is to continue your life – no matter if you get back together or not. It sucks to get back out there, but if you’re meant to be, you’ll get back together.
Speaking from personal experience, I really think it depends on the reason you broke up. I used to always say “exes are exes for a reason” but when factors outside of your relationship get in the way (ie insane family), you sometimes need to break up to realize how much you truly want each other in your lives.
I also know I’m the exception in this situation and not the rule, but every relationship is different.
I don’t have cable, but I do have an internal satellite that allows me to watch the local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.) plus a few random ones. It was like $20 on Amazon and it allows me to watch “The Bachelor” live without paying $$$.
You purchase insurance with it for a reason – I think it’s an extra $5 or $10 (which is included in your total) and they take it back no questions asked. I’ve been using RTR since college and never looked back!
I’m not disagreeing that jobs don’t matter elsewhere, I’m saying in DC, there’s a particular importance to it – more so than any other city I’ve lived in. I’m not saying you can’t get dates there without working in politics, but if you don’t have a good job then dates are harder to get.
Having lived in DC for nearly three years and then moving out for work, there is something to be said about how important your job is in DC versus elsewhere. In DC, that can be the first question you’re asked – I’ve even been asked before the person asked my name. I love DC, but if you don’t have connections to powerful people, you’re pretty much a lost cause on dating apps/meeting people.
My first date with my boyfriend of two years was 10 days before Valentine’s Day. We both agreed that we didn’t think we should do anything special for the day and planned on not seeing each other at all. His heat went out in the middle of the night, and I invited him to come over so he could at least have a decent night’s sleep. The next day, he got me pizza as a thank you and it started our tradition of pizza on Valentine’s Day.
Long story short, whatever you do, she’ll enjoy so maybe start a fun tradition!
My time as a literature major tells me there’s a lot of pregnancy foreshadowing in this:
– throwing up and everything making Girl nauseous, obviously
– being worried about missing martinis and oysters (two big no’s for pregnant women)
– avoiding the doctor until “lunch” aka next week’s installment
– Caroline saying she’ll lose so much weight, for which the opposite would happen if she’s pregnant
Mummers Parade is the best! My family is all in South Philly, which turns into a giant street fest shitshow after the parade ends. Last year I danced/made out with a guy 12 years older than me in front of all the fam…
I don’t know what sector you work in, but I haven’t had any applications that ask for GPA (and most of my friends said it was optional if it was in their field because after a certain point it shouldn’t matter what grades you got 10 years ago).
Your best bet is to actually be a good networker and have fantastic internships (which again, none of mine asked for grades). College is 50 percent academic and 50 percent learning how to interact with people.

French’s Cleaners on 14th in Columbia Heights. You’re welcome.

I’m celebrating the same at a wedding tomorrow in Chicago (who does that?)! Congrats on your negative biopsy!!! It’s such a relief!!!!!

One of my friends is an Erin and married an Aaron and it’s so weird to me!

Welp, guess I’m spending my lunch break calling my long distance boyfriend…

Maybe throw up prayers for the Eagles while you’re in church? We need all of them!

Came down here to say the same thing… quel dommage!
Having family with season tickets to Philly sports, if the Eagles win, it’s going to be crazier than New Year’s Day
