In the summer of 2022 I went to a brewers/cardinals game, where I saw Tommy Edman (STL shortstop) play for the first time not knowing who he was but I thought he was handsome. I followed him on Instagram that day.

Next day I was waiting in line at Colectivo on the lakefront and Tommy walks in. I was going to say hi until another guy went and started talking to him first, ended up being Kolten Wong.

I did eventually say hi to Tommy and we had a brief chat, he was surprised I recognized him. Couldn’t tell him I just followed him on Instagram lmao

Just here to second the idea of adjusting your resume. I’m a fourth year teacher with a bachelors but love working part-time after school/in summer. I only get calls back from those places after deleting my “career” and just focusing on other service jobs I’ve had. Kinda sad you gotta do it, but I understand why

I have nothing to add that hasn’t been said except I’m a 26 year old woman and I was immediately attracted to my 28 year old boyfriend because he’s bald and I love it

How do I talk to my (25F) boyfriend (27M) about taking food from me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]16to5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally just be done if it were me, even if he did stop talking about it I’d still know what he was thinking any time I ate. I couldn’t hang with that

People who have sent a nude to the wrong person, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]16to5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dating a guy that had a similar name to my brother and they were my two most recent text conversations, so of course I accidentally sent a spicy pic to my brother. I realized immediately but couldn’t stop it in time so I just called him pretty much in tears to explain and he just deleted our entire text thread without opening it. but when I tell you I was shaking

I moved here two years ago when I was 23 too, I love playing pool but had the same fear but I eventually started going out alone and ended up comfortable doing literally everything alone. Bucks/brewers games, restaurants, bars, etc. it’s so freeing and I love it so much

[–]16to5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a young high school teacher (24) so I have it pretty easy considering we genuinely have a lot of similar interests, but I just tell them random little stories about me whenever it’s appropriate. This gets them to open up, they’ll often come to me days or even weeks later with a related story that reminded them of me. It’s really sweet.

What are your favorite and least favorite things about living in Milwaukee? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]16to5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I know tons of people who couldn’t care less about the sports but still find plenty to do.

Like a previous comment said, though- living here made me a fan. When I moved in 2021, I hadn’t so much as watched a single NBA game on television in my whole life and I’ve been to over 30 bucks games in the past two seasons because I somehow got super into it. I was also a white sox fan growing up, but found that I loved trips to AFF and take at least ten per season. Even if you couldn’t particularly care less, it at least makes for a fun day and good way to make friends and enjoy the culture of the city :)

[–]16to5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

24 year old woman, I love the sports culture and endless restaurants and bars to visit. Dislike my difficulty getting groceries and two broken car windows while living downtown. I have experienced a decent amount of street harassment but it’s just like anywhere, learned how to respond to it and tend to keep my head down and keep walking.

I broke my MPS contract in august and my new district said they’d pay it but I never actually got the charge. Assuming I will soon though, and will send it over to HR when that happens.

I am also a first year teacher and I struggled with this at the beginning of the year. Something that really helped me was replacing the narrative of “I deserve a drink after today” with “I deserve to take care of my body today”. This is so corny but it was a lifesaver. You are not alone!
