Why does it say Alabama, I'm not from Alabama!
I am a 5th generation Austinite, born and raised in Austin. I just graduated from UT, was/am a GDi, but I like the articles on this website! I am a would-be legacy and respect sororities...the women in my family are a testament to the benefits of joining one. It just wasn't for me.
I’ve never needed to read something so badly, and this could have never been more relevant. I wondered when I could’ve written this without remembering having done it …that’s how similar to my current situation this is.
We categorize male vs female friends, this isn’t much different. Her heart was in the right place, I can relate to the girl on girl competition and the catty talking behind each others backs, I hate that stuff. But with my best friend, I don’t worry about it, and he is also gay. He is the best friend I have had in years, and while I don’t love generalizing a whole group based on ones own 1 life of experience, she was trying to express her appreciation for a friend, not intending anything but positivity. So I feel like being offended by this is a little much. Motives are important to consider and when the authors motives were so clearly pure, it’s hard for me to get angry over the details.
It’s okay though, you don’t need to “learn”. If there’s no spark, it’s perfectly okay to go with the guy that you have a little chemistry with. Don’t be too hard on yourself just bc you don’t feel it with that guy. I’ve learned that I have always struggled with finding chemistry with good on paper, until I met a good on paper nice guy who also is sure of himself and in no way lacking in confidence or needy. I think a lot of clingy guys are mistaken for being nice guys. That’s been my problem. But that’s me. Just enjoy yourself and if they hurt you too much don’t put up with it!
I think the joke’s meaning isn’t really that deep or hard hitting. But it could be the Mariana Trench and I still wouldn’t feel comfortable with that joke. It’s in poor taste. Don’t confused obsessive political correctness with class. This isn’t like feminists getting offended by
Definitely a joke. They nailed the “unique quirkiness” of each character so perfectly and quickly. It was funnier too, let’s replace friends with pals.
Guys, come on. I dated someone from age 17-26 and when it ended last year it wasn’t even close to this dramatic. yes, it was difficult for a bit. But you have to get back into life out in the world ASAP and stop thinking about it. Get out of yourself by doing for other people, it works. I promise.
I get that some of us do manage to have serious relationships in our early twenties…but even so, I don’t think it merits this melodramatic kind of reaction when such a relationship ends. Wallowing in self pity over relationships to begin with is unhealthy….and this level of focus directed into yourself screams self obsessed drama queen. I know this won’t be a popular comment, but it doesn’t matter I had to say something.
Farrah’s attempt takes the cake. I mean, dear lord, that was a whole new level of awful. I think it’s hilarious that d-list, more like z-list, celebs are the ones who write songs about how famous they are.
I feel like there must be some inside jokes circulating that I must have been left out on…because I really am not getting the humor in a lot of these recent posts.
I didn’t even notice, sad how desperate some people are to bring others down to their level of misery. Pathetic attempt, this girl is clearly gorgeous.

Anyone who has had to brave the process of transitioning is a badass in my book. He deserves it.

Period shaming or nipple oppression or any of that ridiculous crap. This is actually gross and highly offensive.

She should write more like this, she is good at it!

They were swimming with them on purpose. Not all sharks are dangerous to humans.
It took me a minute but this is pretty clever.

In what?
Was there truly not a better angle, one that perhaps didn’t include 10 strangers in the background?
Are we going to ignore the major shoe issues. Major isshoes. Sorry I had to.

I don’t really follow…?
Definitely not law enforcement ;p!
There isn’t very much 90s going on in this picture. Yall look super cute, though, just not very 90s. Trust me, I lived through all of them.
