High school can be explained by a few different emotions, and depending on what your interests are, those emotions can vary throughout the years. For me, I loved high school — for the first three years at least; my last year, not so much. You see people mature at different stages of life and with maturity comes different interests. I used to be a partier because it was what everyone did, and I thought it was fun....
Everything you care about is slowly fading away. You feel like everything and everyone you love is just disappearing in a blink of an eye. It’s so unexpected that you don’t know how to react. Your girlfriend/boyfriend just broke up with you. You lost a loved one to the skies of heaven. Your friends moved far away.

I was probably on my fourth or fifth Dogfish Head when I felt the side of Carrie’s foot rubbing lightly against the side of mine, underneath the booth. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure it had actually happened. This was quite possibly the most stunningly sophisticated woman I had ever laid eyes on, after all. And she was sitting right next to her boyfriend. I carefully rubbed right back, and when I saw Carrie’s eyes meet mine, and then her lips tighten into a conspiratorial smile, I lifted my foot just an inch or two and started rubbing it in small circles on the outside of her left leg....
No one wants to be the bearer of bad news, but the fact is that in this life, you often have to be cruel to be kind. Protecting other people’s feelings often doesn’t do anything but make situations worse, and there are a slew of reasons as to why this is. 1. If people don’t understand what they’re doing wrong, nothing will change. On many occasions, peoples’ feelings are hurt because they are politely called out on bad behavior or rejected....
What do you admire about yourself? Most of us can’t even answer that question because we often look at ourselves with a sense of disdain. We don’t appreciate the person staring back at us in the mirror. We base all of our value on our external appearance, the mere shell that houses us. What’s worse, we use our bodies to compare our worth to others. Why can’t we look deeper?...
Age and different types of relationships we enter, change the way we view the world. Experiences mold and shape us, lessons stick with us forever, and our opinions are always on the verge of changing. But the more I observe this world, the more I recognize that women aren’t able to express themselves. Or be proud of themselves. And that infuriates me. I can’t stand the type of men who hold their girlfriends back....
There is nothing worse than finding out that the person you are set to marry is actually not the kind of person you thought they were, which is exactly what happened to one woman in particular. The bride found a folder of photos of her siblings on her groom’s computer. Just months before her wedding, Maria, 25, detailed what she had found on her now-ex-fiancé’s work computer in a now-deleted TikTok video posted to her account, according to the New York Post....
As a result, she went to Reddit’s AITA (r/AmItheA–hole) thread to ask people what she should do. The woman mentioned that her employee’s daughter has cancer. At first, the woman denied her employee, Kate’s, request to get a day off. She mentioned that Kate had already requested to have all her days off in the future. However, Kate wanted one more day off so the woman refused. She offered Kate to switch it up with another of her off days but she declined....
The woman posted the story on Reddit’s “r/AmItheA–hole” (AITA) forum in order to get a second opinion on whether or not her anger toward her siblings was justified. The woman was upset that her siblings spent their mother’s last moments taking pictures instead of being with her. “Last month, my mum was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and she passed within 4 weeks of us finding out she was even sick,” she began the post....
His psyche, needs, desires, wishes, wants, fears, or what he likes on his pizza — if a lady is intrigued by a man, she will come to know these things before too long. Of course, that can also lead to inevitable mental madness on the part of both parties around year six or seven, but so what? (That’s a different article, folks. And you’re probably not ready for that level of diabolical darkness yet, anyway....
You do your research. You are prepared. You take the warnings and advice from seasoned parents with a grain of salt. Everyone’s journey is different. You tell yourself in your delusional state of blissful ignorance that you’ve experienced change before, and you’ve adjusted and adapted. That’s just part of life. How is a child any different? It’s just a little detour off-track in your meticulously planned and controlled existence. You’ll be fine — and seriously, you will be....

No matter where you are in your career, it’s important to periodically assess whether you and your career are feeling the mutual love vibe.

But beauty isn’t skin deep, ladies and gentlemen, and it isn’t universal either. It turns out, the definition of beauty and success for a woman isn’t based on her cosmetic line or cup size but on her country of origin.

A boring conversation with a friend of a friend? Well, consider yourself lucky, because your awkward date fails probably don’t come anywhere close to the dating horror stories that were shared on a recent Reddit thread. Seriously, one of the anecdotes ends with a divorce, and another ends with a person covered in vomit. See for yourself, and thank your lucky stars if you’ve only had mild versions of these disasters, and if you have a story to rival these, then feel comforted in knowing that you’re not alone....
Yeah, me too. We’ve all been there, but let’s face it: divorce is not a glamorous option and it won’t magically transform your life with sunshine and rainbows. So if you’re in this union for the long haul, pick a tip or two for divorce-proofing your marriage.

This isn’t a bad thing; it’s just a different thing. Those who really want to have a family welcome the change with open arms, but even they can admit the truth — after the baby comes home with them, their lives will never be the same again. Because that’s the case, it’s important to live in the here and now. While having children won’t totally kill all the fun things you either used to do or would still like to do, they put a damper on things....

It sure is easier to heat up frozen food or to get take-out than it is to go to the grocery store, plan meals, meal prep and cook dinner every night. The thing is, though, that eating out is not the healthiest option (nor the most financially sound option), so if you’re wanting to eat healthier and eventually be able to cook nutritious food for you, your spouse and your kids, you’re going to have to learn how to cook....
Some would even argue that it’s the most devastating of all losses. I should know. In September of 2008, my husband and I lost our firstborn baby boy, Liam, to a congenital heart defect. It’s safe to say that our lives changed forever that day. The changes have occurred in so many ways. The following is a list of some of the most crucial: 1. I worry on a constant basis....
