If there’s one thing I know is true, it’s that anyone who works in a profession where a review site exists will check those reviews, even though they absolutely know they shouldn’t. This is completely true of almost everyone, but for these 13 professors, well…at least they were able to laugh about it. 13. How...

In some professions, reviews and ratings have always been a part of the job – like it or not, if you provide a service or a creative product, people will tell you what they think about what you’ve done. There are other professions that haven’t been subjected to that sort of regular feedback until the...

Meeting new people is hard for many of us. We don’t feel comfortable in all social situations, we’re nervous, we deal with anxiety or maybe even some level of autism that makes it hard for us to read other people. Introducing ourselves to new people, though, is something we’ll have to do many times over...

There’s a lot of terrifying stuff going on in Arizona these days (and honestly, in the whole of the world, because it’s been a year, y’all), but I’m not sure any of the residents there expected to walk out their front doors to find black sludge that looks like it came out of a horror film...

We’ve all been there – we’re talking with someone, and for one reason or another, we don’t want to be. We’ve got this fake smile plastered on our face, our mind is elsewhere, and we can barely manage to insert the proper interested noises. It always seems like there’s no good way to extract yourself,...

Everyone thinks their high school was crazy and special, but listen – teenagers everywhere pull ill-advised stunts, my friends. That said, my own high school career didn’t include the level of nuts these 13 people recall from their school days, I can tell you that! 13. Less nutty. Hahahaha. A kid apparently jacked off in...

No matter where and when you went to high school, there’s always some scandal that defines your years in those hallowed halls. It might be small, in comparison to some, but still, you can’t forget it. If you’re curious where your school’s worst/best moment lands on a sliding scale, check out the memories from these...

Cats are strange beasts. I say that in a loving way, having owned several cats in my life and having loved them all – but most of the time, there seems to be little rhyme or reason behind their actions. Except that they all seemed designed to stop you from working or possibly kill you,...

You’ve probably heard the phrase “representation matters” in more than one sphere. What it means is that every person – no matter their size, shape, sexual orientation, hair color, age, religion, clothing – should be able to see themselves reflected back in the art we consume. Artist and illustrator Yael Nathan is doing their part...

Women are warriors, both in the actual and metaphorical senses of the word. All of us, even if we don’t look like Gal Gadot or Xena or Charlize Theron most days – which is exactly what illustrator Yael Nathan wants to show with her new series. Big, small, old, young, we can all make a...

Here’s the most awesome thing about Converse Chucks: they truly cross generations, as everyone from the upper edges of GenX and down through the current generation of Z (or whatever they will be called), consider them a closet staple. Sure, there are those Vans people, or those people who claim not to like Chucks, but we know...

Sure, we all have more time on our hands some days, but on those mornings where you’ve only got an extra couple of minutes before the kids get up and the whirlwind starts, you still need a few beats to yourself, right? These 6 short riddles will convince you you’re ready to tackle another day,...

In the peak of summer, going outside can feel like stepping straight into an open-air sauna. Five minutes of the oppressive rays and heat are enough to make even the hardiest person wilt. If you don’t have an air conditioned space to retreat to – or you need to stay outside for some reason –...

Comedy is great, but it’s at its best when it’s reflecting the weird, beautiful mess of the world today, don’t you think? To strike that balance between humor and honesty is hard, and why being funny is so much harder than it seems at first – but these 11 tweets sit right in the sweet...

Twitter is one of the only places we can go on the internet where the truth is easy to find, and where news pops up before it breaks anywhere else. People are super aware, and always ready to put the world under a microscope – which is exactly how we got these 12 perfect tweets....
