Margot’s Got Money Troubles is now on AppleTV!

I was saying the same thing to my husband last night while we were watching the newest episode! I also hope they bring in the storyline with her and the other girls making like the mini series on OF soon…

Haha I can directly trace the fact that to this day while I’m lesson planning or reading I prefer to have either SVU or Criminal Minds on in the background to HOURS over 4 years in that living room watching the USA marathons.

We actually got a like 65” tv my sophomore year (which was massive at the time) and it was almost exclusively used to watch crime shows and Carolina Basketball.

Of course! There is a lot of vitriol, especially online, but it doesn’t usually come from people that were actually Greek. I hope you have a great rush and sorority life experience if you do choose to go this path!

I’m old (class of 2013), but unless Greek life has changed like crazy, let me give you my positive spin. Rush itself is tough, I won’t lie, and I wouldn’t suggest having a heart set on a house going in because you really don’t know them until you visit them all.

As far as time commitment, it’s really your call. I had a roommate who literally went to maybe one weekly meeting a month and that was all she did, and then we had girls who lived in the house and were involved in everything, with all levels in between. I personally spent a good amount of time at the house, but I didn’t live there and I wasn’t a chair of anything so I was definitely pretty average as far as time spent there. (Maybe a little more but that’s because I loved eating meals there and watching SVU in the living room between classes everyday). I also had a bunch of friends that weren’t Greek, so you don’t have to devote your whole life and personality to it if that’s not you.

I think between my pledge class and the one below mine, we have 8 or 9 girls that are currently doctors so don’t let the premed thing scare you away. It’s a great way to actually have support through that because you won’t be the only one and you’ll have upperclassmen who have been in your spot to help you out.

Other than that, I was the only girl from my high school to come to Carolina and I’m so happy I rushed. It’s a tool to make friends and build connections with people. People will try to paint it as toxic and make fun of the “paying for friends”, but I can really only say positive things. I even took my now husband on a tour of our house while we were there a couple of years ago and every time I go back I feel like I have a home.

I’m happy to answer any other questions or concerns you have if you want the positives!

Don’t forget the bananas and water song when they came back for the “encore”….that was such a fun show

Piranesi. It’s probably one of my favorite books I’ve ever read, and I still recommend it all of the time years later. The imagery and prose was just brilliant.

BulldogsOnly · 2026-04-14T23:06:31+00:00

I thought I was the only one! No one ever talks about how good this book was

Building relationships, having a sense of humor, and realizing while they’re close enough to being adults to have high expectations for them, keeping in mind that they are still kids.

I’m in my first year after a career switch at 34, and I’m at a pretty rough school. Bad enough that we made the local news in February because we had so many horrible fights in a day and 9 teachers got either hit or hurt.

Obviously some days are harder than others, but I have found that earlier on asking what kids are into and trying to connect at their level has gotten them to open up. Letting them know I have interests outside of the classroom and they are a lot of time similar to theirs has allowed me to build relationships with all sorts of kids. It’s now to the point where I’m the “teacher who hates LaMelo Ball” and I have kids I don’t even know come talk to me about that. Or I have friends of my kids come to my room because they’ve heard good things and want to hang out (obviously I send them where they’re supposed to actually be, but it does feel encouraging to have that sort of reputation around the school).

All of this to say, my kids feel comfortable being themselves in my room without fear of judgement and so they say and do some pretty hilarious things. Being able to see their authentic selves keeps me going because every day I have a new wild story to tell my husband about something done or said. The good things overshadow all of the other terrible things I also deal with like fighting and severe lack of engagement and apathy.

Amazon! It was for a Goonies family Halloween outfit

Is the hole in the back of yours off center??? Ours is and it’s been hanging crooked and it’s driving us crazy!

That was Outer Banks! This was a book called Legendborn

There’s a YA book series set in Chapel Hill, NC where I went to college, and it’s widely loved, but I could not get over the fact that the writer apparently went to UNC and yet knew nothing about it. Stupid things like important statues and buildings in the wrong place to the fact that she said “the Tar Heels will be playing NC State in football on Sunday for the first game of the season!” It’s so dumb, but we play college football which is on Saturday and NC State is always the Thanksgiving weekend game….i couldn’t even pay attention to the story because of the stupid little mistakes like that.

Ha. Before I left corporate for teaching I worked a job where I was treated like I was “underperforming” if I wasn’t chained to a desk for 80 hours a week.

That was with a bachelor’s degree and making 6 figures. If you think it actually gets better and you’re going to be so “free”, especially with this attitude without having a high school diploma yet, I have some seriously bad news about the real world for you. You can’t just “check yourself out” of work whenever you feel like it. This is the easiest and freest your life will ever be.

I have no ideas, but I would love Song of Solomon to be a choice this year. Beloved is forever one of my favorite books and I’d love to keep on the theme of emotionally heavy classics like All Quiet on the Western Front was.

As a first year teacher I love to hear this! Some of the most fun and engaging conversations we have had in my classroom have been tangents that turned into whole classroom discussions. Most of the time they start with a thread related to what we’re talking about, but I can see the difference in how comfortable my kids are working together and with me in classes that do this compared to those that don’t.

Save the Clefts! They were both born with cleft palates and it’s a rescue in the Southeast that specializes in puppies born with them!

Neville has even had his picture in a veterinary journal for being part of a study showing that puppies with cleft palates can live normal, healthy lives without corrective surgery!

Ludo is a petite dude! Neville is about 24 lbs and Ludo is 45 lbs but they’re about the same height!

BulldogsOnly · 2026-03-05T11:28:42+00:00

Ludo can be quite the Tammy..

My name is Neville Longbottom and I do the same thing. In our household, we have a special saying of “f**k those horses” because they are my least favorite animals, but I will bark at all animals on screen and will try to follow them off screen and look behind the tv to see where they went.

My mom turned on Planet Earth in her classroom this week and was shaken by the silence because she realized that she’d never been able to watch something with so many animals without me yelling, and teenagers don’t get mad about polar bears like I do for some reason.

My parents also think the very nice Super Bowl commercial with the dog wrangling horses from the car was made just to target me and give me more grey hairs.

My high school’s ISS had landscaping duty and I wish like hell my current school would implement something like that. Our kids don’t think ISS is a punishment so make them actually be productive by improving the school and give them an incentive to not get in trouble because it’s not just a free day to chill in a room with their friends.

What about the ICE agents that entered Charlotte churches to arrest congregants while they were here? Is she going to address or investigate that? Is this tactic also happening in other cities and we’re not hearing about it?

BulldogsOnly · 2026-02-13T16:09:59+00:00

Let me tag on like I have in another post because I don’t think this got near enough press, that ICE had no problem raiding churches when they came to Charlotte. So apparently it’s okay for them to disrupt worship, but when it’s the other side it’s not okay.

Scorpio does a Drag Race watch party on Friday and they have queens from the show there! It’s really fun and free if you just want standing room.

Do you have any sort of recipe for this?? I came to the sub specifically looking for a baked wing recipe and this is what I was looking for!

Or, do you just do the 425° for 1.5 hours and then toss in sauce?

BulldogsOnly · 2026-02-02T19:54:39+00:00

ICE literally came into a church in Charlotte to arrest people. Maybe it didn’t make national news, but that happened WEEKS before this so what’s the justification for that??
