<p>You people are sending your kids to the #1 or #6 party school in the nation (depending on which source you consider reliable), yet you think because they are living in the honors dorm and get good grades, they are somehow immune to that. Face facts! They’re going to experiment! It doesn’t matter if he or she is “in church!” It’s what college kids do! And when your kid goes completely hog wild and flunks out of school, I’ll be there to say “I told you so.”</p>
<p>You spilled grease on your new pants, so you took them back to the store and made them give you a new pair. Seriously? And now you are actually bragging about it? You are a cow.</p>
<p>(My apologies to cows)</p>
<p>Apostrophes are not used in plurals. Please learn this. It would be best if you would learn how to use apostrophes in general - in possessives (Joe’s bike) and in contractions (don’t). But if you can’t learn that, at least please learn not to use them for plurals. Thank’s. Oops lol. Thanks.</p>
<p>G - you are a two-faced, back-stabbing social climber. You had a friend who was more loyal to you than you will ever know, and you got mad because she couldn’t force her boyfriend’s friends to like you. You were flat-out jealous of her. So you dissed her behind her back while telling her she was your “best friend” to her face. And when she caught you text-trashing her this spring and asked “why?” you ignored her and went around announcing to people that the two of you are NOT friends and that you “hate” her, proclaiming it to everyone as if that were some badge of honor. Now the Yearbook is out, full of pictures of the two of you from last fall, smiling together, arms around each other. In the Senior Bio section, where it asks “Usually Seen With” you listed each other first. Funny how you can’t run away from that, huh? It’s in print forever. D still has the knife in her back, but she’s better than you. I don’t know how anyone who saw what you did to D can remain friends with you and trust you, because if you’d treat your best friend that way, what would you do to someone else? Like I said, you’re a two-faced, back-stabber who uses people, and it’s obvious to anyone with two eyes.</p>
<p>I graduated. And got into PhD programs. And published. I hate SurveyMonkey at the moment. And I have no idea (yet) how much I’m going to have pay for electricity next year. I had the highest GPA in my sorority senior clas. I get to work with the editor of a big journal next year. I saw Sex and the City 2 this weekend, and I enjoyed it, even if it wasn’t great. I loved the new Nick Hornsby book. And the new Picoult (though the My Sister’s Keeper movie was nothing to write home about).My mom is going through a Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie renting phase. Our dog is finally being halfway obedient.</p>
<p>These are some of things I would have told you about this past semester. Sometimes, it’s the little things I miss the most.</p>
<p>I know you’re unhappy here and I have no answers for you. But here are the wrong answers:
- You’ll be happy in the UK
- You would have been happy had you been paid a market bonus </p>
<p>And no, I can’t promise to move to the UK with you. That’s a lot to ask for, btw.</p>
<p>When you are leaving a store and someone holds the door open for you, could you at least thank them? Geez…</p>
<p>Stop calling me!</p>
<p>I am proud of you in a way that is beyond description. There are things that i know, moments of courage and generosity that the world will never know. Those things are enough for me.</p>
<p>It was so great seeing you and your sons at the graduation ceremony this evening. I really missed them when they changed schools. Our Ss were such good friends and your kids were always such a pleasure to be around. Yes, they drifted apart after the school change but the friendship is still there and always will be. It warms my heart to see the young men our little boys have become, and I’m proud of all of them Best wishes to you and your sons in the future!</p>

<li><p>To someone smart enough to know better: if you ask me which date is better, please do not get annoyed when I tell you. </p></li>
<li><p>To someone old enough to know better: if you don’t like how cold it is next to the air-conditioner, move to another seat. Do you really expect me to make 60 people uncomfortable so that you can sit in your favorite spot? </p></li>
<li><p>To God: please don’t let me become like the person in 2.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>LEAVE ME ALONE. Bully.</p>
<p>Mom, you can’t just schedule things without consulting me, I know you need surgery but if you mention 2 dates and I calmly explain why one day enables me to help you easily and the other day is very very difficult do not freak out on me and choose the date I said would be a problem. I am 46 years old and here is a news flash, I have responsibilties too! I get that you hate me, but at least respect me. </p>
<p>Also why was S’s graduation all about you? Why is everything about you? You have zero interest in me and my life except in any way it revolves around or reflects you.</p>
<p>and p.s. my dog is not fat!</p>
<p>Please stop complaining about EVERYTHING. This is difficult enough for everyone without you pointing out repeatedly how poorly our boss is handling everything. I agree with you, she is, but it is out of our control. How about focusing on the things we CAN control?</p>
<p>Mosquitos, please stay away for another week and a half. We have two graduation parties to host, and I don’t want all those kids inside! I will offer my blood, starting only on June 13th.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to help then say so. It is extremely depressing to read on facebook what you did for the one who doesn’t need it when the one who really needs it gets no help at all.</p>
<p>You are an idiot. Texting that a guy at the bar wants to bed you does not reflect positively. Especially when you text you are wasted. Texting this to fellow employees is even worse.</p>
<p>Clean up after yourself. And when you say you “will”, does that mean it will happen in this century?</p>
<p>Dear friend: I know you don’t like the new job you took-- but it is a job, and you will be paid, even if it is below what you think you are worth. Please stop complaining that the staff are idiots, that the drive is a “horror”, that you hare having a “meltdown” etc etc etc. Get a grip and deal with it.</p>
<p>4 years of your sport are over and done today. I’m exhausted and kind of numb. In a way, I am relieved; there is entirely too much drama in your sport. But, oh I will miss your rowing. To see you gliding across the water was a thing of beauty!</p>
