I was strung along similarly to this a few years back. I was in a slump and couldn’t figure out why the girls I was interested in always seem to leave me hanging. I thought I was a gentleman, funny, and very easy going but I guess those girls saw something else in me that I didn’t. I got really down for a while until I got tired of being down all the time, I wanted to have fun and be happy again. I started working out, doing better at work, taking on bigger more complex projects, until I found happiness in the success of my work. Then one day, after becoming distracted with a project I showed up late to a meeting at another firm and the only seat available was next to this very attractive blonde girl. Flash forward two years. Now she’s my wife. It happens like that bro. You got this!
At the time I made my account, I was working for the worst division 1 football team in the country and I was surrounded by idiots. But, hey you got me on this one.
Listen, I’m not going to sit there 3 fucking miles back before the left lane ends, crawling through traffic at a pace retreating glaciers would be proud of because you think it necessary to get over NOW. The lane ends in 3 fucking miles and when you all decide to merge over before you need to, THAT’S what slows down traffic. I hope it pisses you off that I don’t merge before I need to because I won’t and it saves me 20 minutes out of the three hours I get to myself a day.
am going to stay in that lane until I’m required to get over.
I think it’s about communicating expectations and sticking with them. When I first fooled around with my now long term girlfriend she asked me “what is this?” I very honestly told her that I liked her, I would like to keep seeing her in the hopes that it could turn into a relationship. I asked how she felt about that and she agreed. After that with every road bump we communicated needs and expectations resulting into the awesome partnership that we call our relationship. The truth sucks sometimes but it’s how you grow as a person and more importantly it’s how you get what you want out of life. It’s okay to say no or yes or vocalize what you want. If the other person doesn’t reciprocate, at least you know where you stand.
That can’t be right…I currently work as a grad student in college making $1200 a month. I pay $450 in rent, $100 in utilities, $250 a month in groceries, $100 for insurance, $100 in gas. I have enough to go out with my girlfriend to dinner a few times a week and enough for weed. So, I disagree. Living is fairly easy if you work hard, save, and stick to a plan.

Border Collie / Black Lab Mix is easily the best dog I’ve ever known. I LOVE the stupid thing.

Pretty much and it’s worked out pretty damn well so far.

I only meant it as a compliment. I relate to his articles more than Kendra’s is what I guess I was trying to say.
Will is such a great writer for this site. On a scale of Kendra to Will. How well was this article written?
I partied at that house….
Love the Michigander vibe deFries.
Clearly written by a Michigander and I too miss the 97 red wings.
Pretty much the story of my post grad life.

It’s actually depressing as fuck. I mean, I knew this would eventually happen, but still…
