I took my small college town for granted. You could wind up on someone’s lawn passed out and someone would help you home. Now moving to a big city, I’ve realized that I can’t rely or anyone except myself. It was a weird concept at first, I didn’t want to believe theres some really bad people out there but they will take advantage if you’re vulnerable
Make sure to forward your mail thru USPS.com and you will get a bunch of 20% off coupons from stores you will actually use (target, pottery barn, west elm, overstock, etc). The savings really start to add up
In college I would always say you can usually tell a guy by the shoes he’s wearing. It was always either boat shoes, new balances, cowboy boots, vans, or those weird finger shoes.
They say during the 1st year of a baby’s life you are just trying to keep them alive, after that you are just trying to keep them from killing themselves
It’s only ok to grocery shop with a significant other or any other person if you live together or will be eating said groceries together. Otherwise it’s chaos
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he bought his girlfriend and her friend tacobell too? Maybe even the driver. If not, yeah I need to see the receipt
I am quitting my job in 10 days and 3 hours. Its been a combination of the soul crusher, dick boss, and bore for over a year. My manager has literally never looked me in the eye; she is the most awkward human being I’ve ever come across (in her defense we do work in the engineer department). I question the meaning of life every day as I sit down in my prison cell and turn on my laptop.
I don’t have another job lined up, but at this point I would rather be working in a grocery store. Can’t wait to walk out.
What is the difference between a life coach and a therapist? I need one or them and I’m not sure what which one I should be looking for?
Also, thank you so much for this article. As many people have said, mental health is equally important as physical health. These kinds of articles and subsequent discussions are comforting and liberating.
THIS! I really want to start therapy, not for anything specific (that I’m aware of yet), but i can’t rely on my mom to be my soundboard anymore and I need some 3rd party perspective. I’ve been to psychology today.com and I’ve googled therapists in my area but it’s hard to navigate and pinpoint what kind of therapist I need. I don’t want a pill pusher, I want a confidant. Any advice where to start (besides your general practitioner)?
I read the article you linked and this caught my eye, “With a rent burden of 45%, Millennials pay $92,600 in total rent”‘. That seemed high but I just did the math, and I’ve spent $61,800 on rent and I’m only 25 (just rent, not including utilities, lost security deposits, moving services). If I was to stay in the same apartment until im 30, I’ll have wasted $145,800. fuck.
I will never understand why people are so god damn critical of weddings. Your FRIEND not only worked hard for months to plan and organize every last detail, but most likely shelled out quite a bit of money to celebrate THEIR happy day, which for some reason they want your ungrateful ass to be apart of. If you’re going to bitch and moan about how they decided to celebrate , then don’t go. I’ve recently begun to understand firsthand how expensive and time-consuming it is to be a guest at a wedding, but either suck it up or don’t attend. you don’t have to go to every wedding you’re invited to.
Whenever I take NyQuil or a xanax, I wake up in the middle of the night, but my body is paralyzed and I cant move or speak for hours. One time I saw a dark figure coming into my room and I thought I was going to be murdered. Its terrifying. Sleep paralysis is real.
As someone who lives in Arizona where the normal temperature in the summer is 118 degrees, Odaban Antiperspirant Spray is the absolute best. I only use it like once every two months and I don’t sweat. It will probably give me cancer, but at least i’m not sweating. Ladies, it works with boob sweat too ayooo
I joined JL when I first moved across the country and it was great at first! But it required so much of my free time and money, and started feeling like I was forcing my self to do it so I dropped.
I’ve recently started seeing a guy and he keeps asking me when he is going to meet my friends and it has been giving me so much anxiety. I moved across the country about 2 years ago and I made a really close group of 5 friends, but three of them moved and I have distanced myself from the other two since they got heavy into pills. Now I have had to start over making friends, but its been really difficult. All of his college friends are here so he has a strong crew, and every time he asks me to bring a friend for his buddy I have to make an excuse. Its making me really self conscious, I don’t want him to think I have no friends or hobbies.

nicotine gum is the way to go, gives you a little mid afternoon perk up
Can’t relate, I’m allergic to peanuts 🙁

The trick to a successful FWB relationship is to low key really hate something about them
