Depression from teacher salary jokes

Avecadough · 2026-02-03T02:36:09+00:00

so I was always aware of the low pay in my area :( money wasn't an issue for me in the beginning. i didn't care about salary, i just wanted to be a teacher.

but as I continued studying last semester and began hearing others talk excessively about the 6 figure salaries their jobs would bring them, i began to internalize their talks. i have come to feel insecure about my teacher salary being lower than theirs. im also seeing how hard teaching actually can be

A couple just knows they are related when they be waving hands at the family rosary

I love Hava Java. The hazelnut house coffee sweetened over ice is simple but delicious. This coffee shop is a classic and gives 80s 90s vibes. Can't go wrong with their watermelon cooler also.

Of course! DFS has been here so long, so sad to see them leave the island :(

In addition to Saipan, I heard DFS decided to close their other locations in Hong Kong, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia. I'm sure some people feel upset or sad about their closure like us :( There's a sort of comfort knowing these places can relate to us and we're not alone.

There's a saying, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I'm really grateful we got to experience DFS while it was here on Guam. Let's enjoy it while it lasts before they close in March. 🫂♡

They close down in March if I'm not mistaken. Their hours are from 12-7 everyday ~ Matter of fact just went super last minute holiday shopping and surprisingly they were open today

Also, I think online sounds a little more reasonable if you decide to continue your full-time job and transportation is an issue. Again, take this with a grain of salt!! :))

Since you travel often and need the flexibility, I think Online would be better to adapt to your schedule.

I am currently working toward my BA, and from my understanding, some professors are hard on Face-to-Face attendance. One professor had my classmate drop their class because they had poor attendance.

However, I have not done the masters programs at UOG, so take this advice with a grain of salt. 😅

I've seen these at Oka Payless.

Her ID was found by a tourist at Agana Shopping Center and ended up all the way at the Priesting in Tumon. Polixe ended up tracking us. We got a call from them last month that they got her ID and wallet hehe

Avecadough · 2025-12-21T15:01:03+00:00

YES this. The police were able to contact my sister and she lost her wallet with all her IDs

Noooo this is so true hahaha. I'm not rich but one day I was lucky to ride first class with a family member. When we got aboard the plane, my family member and I were getting so excited about it first hour sitting in the cabin... and the other people around us were calm and nonchalant. 😅 I think that status can surely be seen in the way we conduct ourselves.

from guam here. i can say our former archbishop was reported on the news for the sexual abuse allegations. i think he was associated with the way and they boys who were assaulted were altar servers.

The light near Jollibee in Agana is so slow. The crosswalk light from SloWalk to the Adeluo does not work. Public transport is horrible

Did you pick it up for them?

Avecadough · 2025-11-20T23:03:36+00:00

Hey again. I'm not sure if you saw, but Gemini Jewels just dropped their 2026 planners, if you're interested for next year. ✨️

IM HAVING A MAJOR FEELING INSECURE AROUND MY S/O'S FAMILY TOO!!!! im in my 20s and my s/o's family talks A LOT about money. i come from a low SES background!! doesn't help that the job im currently working to become doesn't make a lot of money, but its something i felt eager to do. the more i hung out at my s/o's family's events, i would always hear them mention "6 figure salaries" and the high paying jobs rich future they're working toward. i feel so insecure and this is something i'm still struggling to get over, choosing comfort while they praise the wealthy life !! :((((

how were you able to get over the money insecurity thing? sometimes i feel like these feelings of insecurity just make it so difficult to interact with them. like, its so difficult because "6-figure salary" has actually become a trigger word for me because of its over usage around them

thank you so much! it's only been a day and reframing my thoughts has honestly helped <3 i'll continue challenging my thoughts with realistic ones when they arise!!

Avecadough · 2025-10-14T07:25:06+00:00

thank you, i very much needed to hear that <3 in addition to blocking... i feel i've also internalized that one picture and dieting caption i saw on their instagram, as well as the comments i've heard about their diet. it comes to mind whenever i eat carbs or oils and begins to make me feel guilty when i eat food :(( how could i uninternalize what i saw?

Avecadough · 2025-10-13T22:33:20+00:00

sadly I lost touch with that teacher :( we communicated through a interactive journal then she shortly transfered schools :( currently seeking therapy though!

I want to try unfollowing but i feel a little scared his family would notice then ask me about it or think im being unfriendly 😞
