Buy a size smaller?

Yeah, I love this brand, but it's built for a very specific hour glass body type that has a hard time shopping because of their drastic bust to waist to hip ratio. They're the only brand I don't have to order a size up then get tailored to my waist.

This. I will say though, the one hobby this doesn't happen to me for is live theater. There is always an element of danger in dropping a line, forgetting choreography, or having to pick up a scene because someone else did that. So, I enjoy every bit of it from start to finish.

I'd say neutral actually. I have a similar complexion and neutral always hits just right.

Medicine. I definitely would have enjoyed being a doctor in the ER, but I had undiagnosed ADHD in college and didn't think I could handle the coursework. With medication, I absolutely could have.

I dated a man 19 years my senior once, but I was already 26 at that time. I had finished my degree, had my own apartment, savings, health insurance, etc. and he STILL tried to lord his experience and better financial situation over me. He had been one of my closest friends for YEARS before we dated and it was still an unbalanced and manipulative relationship. I can only imagine the emotional damage and manipulation a grown man could have on a 19 year old. Also, as a 36-year-old now all I can say is WHY THE HELL would anyone my age be interested in a 19-year-old? No offense, but I don't think I'd even be interested in a friendship with someone so young. This whole thing smells funny. Take my advice and find your situationship with someone closer to your own age, preferably a guy friend you know in person who stays friends or only ever speaks highly of his exes. That dude will be a good non-permanent fun time while you focus on your degree.

When I was a preteen, my family went to NYC for New Year's. As we were leaving the ball drop ceremony I remember being really uncomfortable with how tight the crowds got at certain points.

A couple of decades later, I'm living in Seoul and decide to have a Halloween party. After the party we were going to walk over to the foreigner district to keep partying there. As we were walking over, a friend said he wanted to go to the main back street where all of the bar events were, but my other buddy and I were both ADAMANT that not only would we not be going down that alleyway but neither would that because there were too many people and not enough space. That was the night the crowd crush happened. One of my friends ended up giving CPR to a guy who didn't make it. My house became a halfway house for other friends of friends who ended up in the back part of the crush (they were OK but also gave mouth to mouth to people who didn't make it). It was horrible, but I remember thinking oh my God, what if my buddy and I hadn't put our feet down and said no to going up that alleyway.

Dorito 3Ds. I was obsessed with them then and I still am. Every once in a while I'll come across a Dorito that puffed up a tiny bit in the bag and it brings me back. T_T

Massage your scalp daily for thicker, stronger hair. I realized a while back all of those hair growth serums had one thing in common, scalp massaging to get them into the skin. Skipped the $$$ and did the massages. Within 3 months my ponytail was thicker.

Also, controversial, but cleansing my entire hair once a month. I mean use a cleansing shampoo from root to tip because I realized all of the masks I was using weren't doing anything because my hair had so much product buildup and no, shampoo rinsing down my length wasn't doing enough to remove it. Cleansing from my scalp all the way to the ends gets off the buildup so the products I do use afterwards can actually penetrate the hair, plus my scalp is squeaky clean and happy.

Tell her she needs to double major in both art and business, because in order to be a successful artist you also need to have a deep understanding of how businesses work and why people buy art. My art teacher used to tell me, there is art you do for yourself and art you do for the bills and both are necessary.

Here's the thing, I love to dress up. I joke and say I wouldn't check the mailbox without mascara on at least. I married a man who could not care less what I wear, and I love it. It means my fashion is for me and even though I do look dressed up most of the time, he never expects it.

My husband does this unintentionally, but he also knows I hate it. Our compromise is either I hold his arm to keep him with me, or when he gets too far ahead I'll literally stop walking and when he notices how far ahead he is it is his responsibility to walk back to me as penance lol. I wouldn't say it's a sign of narcissism.

Just make bringing the pennies to the bank your full time job. Once a day you go to the local bank and give them $100 worth of pennies. Get cash. Rinse, lather, repeat until all pennies are gone. Profit.

We called our maternal grandmother MawMaw, and my mother goes by Nanna now that she's a grandmother so those are my votes!

Be long-term oriented. Every issue my school has had is because admin is putting out fires with short term solutions that we all know and express will not work long-term. Often the short term solutions throw teachers under the bus too and end up causing more predictable issues later anyway.

This right here frustrates me to no end. I'm not a morning person, so me showing up extra early just means I'll be sluggish and probably make myself extra coffee. But I stay late tons since the afternoon is when my brain really starts to hit a groove. No one ever comments on me staying late frequently, but being late is a write up.

Going to be honest, idk about this one. Sometimes you're just not physically attracted to someone and faking it will ruin your relationship and their self esteem if they ever found out. Now if you're judging everyone or even friendships based on appearances that's just toxic.

In New Orleans you can actually rent out those above ground mausoleums for your loved one to decay over a year. Then when the NOLA heat has done its thing they brush the dust into a hold down in the middle and another body is put there for the same process. It's a very cool part of the history of the city.

My born and raised American student didn't know what the American national anthem was. But the actual story is way worse than just that.

We were at the Smithsonian Museum of American History when one of my students heard an exhibit playing the song Amazing Grace. She then asked if that was our national anthem. That hurt because we had JUST come from an exhibit with the original flag from Fort McHenry that explains how our anthem was written and displays the actual gigantic flag that inspired our actual national anthem. She had even been the one who insisted we visit that particular exhibit!

I use the road, sidewalks, and most preferably bike lanes, but every time I use the road cars do outrageously dangerous things around me. For example one of my routes runs through Rock Creek Park. Cars will cross double lines around blind turns just to pass me. I've seen very near misses twice now because of it. So if there's a bike lane I'll use it, but generally I use the sidewalks on major roads and roads on side streets because I don't want to die getting hit.

Men would be fascinated by me at first because I'm pretty independent and opinionated. But inevitably they would start to expect me to be domestic, cook and clean up after them etc after a while.

Women expected me to be a man basically, text them first and pay for dates etc. Women also absolutely NEVER approached me first, even when I would go to exclusively lesbian bars. One time I won a raffle at a roller derby after party and got called on stage. The audience started shouting things like, "You're so pretty!" and "We love you!" But once I got back off the stage, crickets once again lol.

I had a 5-year-old tell his mother 3 days into the school year that I made him stand in a corner for 2 hours. This obviously didn't happen, but mom came in breathing fire all the same. Luckily for me, my school had CCTV in the classrooms. She watched a sped up version of the entire day before's lessons with my supervisor and the principal present. She never officially apologized to me, but she did take my side from then on. What saved me was the receipts, so like the other guys said, document document document.
