10 Ways to Love Others →
bhargette: Some guidelines for loving: 1. Tell them about their brilliance. They likely can’t see it and they don’t know its immensity, but you can see it, and you can illuminate it for them. 2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions.

Nerdy Thing of the Day that I Love
I may be slightly obsessed with podcasts. Specifically This American Life. On May 10th, the radio show will be broadcasting live with a slight twist. They’ll be hosting the show on a stage and streaming it to theatres across the county. So instead of just hearing voices, this episode will feature dance, live music, and a short film as well. Tickets are less than $20 per person and you can...

The United States of America on college education
Student: I'm not going to go to college because I don't want to go into debt.
USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.
Student: I'm just going to attend a small community college instead.
USA: HAHAHA YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO GET INTO A GOOD UNIVERSITY. ENJOY YOUR MCDONALD'S DIPLOMA.
Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.
USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK.

I’ve become quite obsessed with TED Talks lately. This one’s about 10 minutes and definitely worth the watch. I want to try the 21 day challenge he mentions at the end.

On Natural Hair
Honestly, I never thought it was such a huge deal. And then I cut my hair last summer and all of a sudden I found that I was making a “statement” when I never intended to.

But it just so happens that peanut butter gave me one of my most memorable vocabulary lessons which I thought I’d share with you. So sometime way back in the 90’s when I was a wee tot (and I mean that - I was midget sized until about 17) one of my elementary school teachers gave us a reading comprehension test....
