I broke up with a guy at the end of freshman year. I still had 3 more years of school where I saw this dude in the music building, out around town, at parties, literally everywhere. The most awkward encounter was my senior year's I was laying in my hammock with my current friends-with-benefits.… Read More

The giver series, for sure. That book effed me up as a kid. I couldn't bring myself to read it through again till college.

I worked a summer for my brother-in-law's painting business. One of the foremen on the job once asked to see my brush (which my BIL had bought for me), said "this thing wouldn't be worth anything if you strapped a quarter to it" then threw it into the bushes of the client's house… Read More

24. Copper IUD slipped out of place. Strings still felt normal when I checked every month, so I had no idea. Partner never felt anything different, either. IUD was STILL in my uterus when we found out I was pregnant. It was removed before I took the first pill. My doctor still doesn't… Read More

I'm 25, currently. When the recession hit, my dad was laid off from his job as a trucker. My mom was a Registered Nurse, so we were able to "live", but we went from being comfortable to paycheck to paycheck. We had a lot of medical bills that piled up because I developed an autoimmune… Read More

I forgot that I even ate some of these as a kid. The swoops were the shizz when I was a kid.

When I was in high school, I was responsible for cooking dinner. So, one night, I'm cooking dinner and my dad, who was very nitpicky, came and started telling me how I was doing everything wrong. I had been mostly enduring his criticism of me and what I did silently, but this night… Read More
