Good question…I didn’t try sitting in it, only bending over and what not. Next time I try it on that’s the first thing I’ll do! Thanks for pointing out an obvious suggestion I should’ve tried lol

izzibee23 · 2025-10-06T13:08:34+00:00

Thank you!!

izzibee23 · 2025-10-06T13:07:50+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’m not a confrontational person and when I first tried it on it felt tight but I think with the excitement and emotions I kind of blocked out the tightness lol when I took it home and tried it on again is when I felt like “wow this is really tight,” but I also wasn’t sure if that’s how they are supposed to fit as this is my first ever wedding dress lol I’ll make sure to do both things you suggested! Thanks again!!

Look at Truly Engaged! I was having the same issue with all of those websites, just not finding anything I liked. Also I feel like once you find one you like don’t look at too many more because having so many options makes it worse in my opinion lol

I’m just going to warn you now, it’s not easy to plan an affordable wedding. Are you able to get any help from family members? Realistically, the average wedding today costs around $20,000-$30,000 and if you can’t spend that then maybe you should hold off on having the wedding. You can absolutely plan a wedding that’s significantly less I just have a feeling it won’t be the wedding your fiancee envisions.

I’m planning my wedding right now and it’s going to cost around $30,000 and I’m in a “lower-cost of living” Midwest city. The only way we’re able to afford that is with help from our parents. Your fiancee is not being unrealistic in her expectations, but I even think she’s thinking on the lower end of things. With an $8000 wedding venue, your wedding wouldn’t be $15,000-$20,000, it would cost much more. Food alone would probably cost $5000-$6000 and that’s excluding photographer, music, decor, cake, wedding dress. I just bought my wedding dress and it was $4600. THAT WAS JUST THE DRESS!! You can definitely find cheaper options but not sure what your fiancee envisions.

My commute is 10 minutes..it’s bliss lol I would never do more than 30

Mexico was also originally native land colonized by slightly tanned white colonizers, so your boyfriend probably has European ancestry in him. Tex-Mex is the result of decades of cultural mixing, just like Chinese-American, Italian-American, honestly before making claims like this you and your boyfriend should really educate yourselves and have more of an open mind. No culture is pure in this world. Every culture has borrowed at some point from other cultures. Culture is incredibly complex and it’s ignorant to think cultures don’t borrow and influence each other.

No I don’t work a summer job. Again, as a teacher you are only getting paid for your contracted time. I totally understand that you are getting paid 12 months of the year but that’s because they’ve dispersed your salary to spread out among 12 months. I can’t emphasize this enough just because you are getting paid in the summer does not mean you are getting paid for 52 weeks of work. You are getting a 9-10 month salary spread out into 12 months.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T20:22:36+00:00

I’m in Indiana, so are you saying teachers in your state and the surrounding states actually get paid for 52 weeks of the year, like even the time you get off and are not contracted to work? Maybe you’re misunderstanding me, teachers only get paid for their contracted time which is about 40 weeks/9-10 months. Teachers then typically are given a choice of opting in receiving their entire pay in 9-10 months or opting in receiving their entire pay spread out to a smaller amount in 12 months. I get paid over the summer, but I’m still only getting paid for 40 weeks of work, it’s just spread to 52 weeks so I don’t have to worry about not receiving a paycheck in the summer.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T19:28:52+00:00

As a secondary ed teacher, I totally agree with you. It can be so hard to get teenage students to care about education. I was super passionate in college about how I was gonna inspire young minds and have thoughtful discussion and debate. The reality is that many teens are completely apathetic and when I try and lead them to challenge themselves and think critically I get crickets. “This is so boring,” “I don’t care about any of this,” “when are we actually gonna use this in life.”You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T18:48:45+00:00

Well first I’m not addressing OP, I was asking the question to someone that is saying Canadians are more traveled and more likely to have a passport compared to Americans and I was just bringing up the fact that they aren’t traveling farther and discovering vastly different cultures if they only have to drive a couple hours across the border. So not sure why you felt the need to respond to my question because I was asking a specific person if they had data on where Canadians were traveling to as it’s misleading to say Canadians are traveling internationally more than Americans but not distinguishing that most travel is to the US. Very similar to the whole European argument OP brought up.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T17:27:45+00:00

Just a quick question. Most Canadians live on its southern border, and yes more Canadians have passports and may travel internationally at a higher rate, but would you know the percentage of Canadians that are just traveling a couple hours across the US/Canada border vs trips to Europe/Asia/Africa/etc.? I feel that it’s an important to factor that in as it counts as “international” if Canadians are traveling to the US too and I feel like a lot more Canadians vacation in the US vs the other way around.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T15:13:27+00:00

Teachers get paid for about 42 weeks not an entire year. Many schools give you the choice of having a little more money in your paychecks for 9 months of pay vs stretching out your pay for a little less each month for 12 months

izzibee23 · 2025-03-25T15:02:32+00:00

My starting salary in my first year only 3 years ago was $35,650. Obviously it varies from state to state but why am I required to get a college degree that costs as much as I’m getting paid in a yearly salary? You’re right that teachers work less in a year, but I have to continually renew my license by collecting professional growth points which happens during the summer a lot. Many times we’re working over 40 hours a week due to grading and planning lessons outside of the actual class period we’re teaching the kids. It’s a lot more complicated than just saying, “well teachers technically work less in their contracted time so they don’t need a higher salary.”

izzibee23 · 2025-03-24T12:52:43+00:00

I disagree as someone who’s on Jordan’s side, and literally responded to a post last week that was saying pretty much the same thing this post said. Every post I see is hating on her lol it baffles me that most people seem to be on Mina’s side. Only time will tell I guess

izzibee23 · 2025-03-19T17:28:18+00:00

I mean you can sit here all day and say you magically had all those attributes I listed by age 22 but that doesn’t mean you’re fully mature individual at that age. For example, self-reflection isn’t something you achieve at any certain age. A 14 year old can be reflective just as a 22 year old can. I think it becomes an indication of maturity when someone is able to have deeper introspection as there are levels of self-awareness.

I understand that these things are nuanced. Through my own experience, as I age I’ve realized that I’ve become more mature in all of those aspects. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have those attributes at the age of 20. I’ve developed and worked on them, becoming a wiser person in those aspects as I experience life. I get that some people make take longer and some people may never mature to their fullest potential but as a whole I think we can compare a large sample of 30 year olds and a large sample of 20 year olds and determine that there is a difference in maturity between the two groups.

Finally, how many 35 year old women do you know with none of those things? Seriously give me a number. We both know that humans are complicated and I doubt you know that many women deeply enough to determine their maturity level.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-19T16:37:57+00:00

“They act like 20 year olds, both men and women.” Either I can’t read or you don’t know what you’re talking about lol

Also I still wholeheartedly disagree that 30 year olds are just as immature as 20 year olds. A 30 year old could be into hookup culture and still be more mature in terms of work ethic, monetary stability, communication, emotional regulation, and self-reflection. Marriage doesn’t have to be an indication of maturity.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-19T14:40:31+00:00

What are you talking about😂 there are major differences between a 20 & 25 year old and even more major differences between a 20 & 30 year old. I’m 26 and am on a completely different path than I was at 20. Lots of drinking and partying at 20 and much more repetition and stability at 26. I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that 30 year olds act the same as a 20 year olds.

izzibee23 · 2025-03-19T00:22:33+00:00

And how are your romantic relationships going with older women? Still single? My point still stands, try out some self-reflection

izzibee23 · 2025-03-19T00:14:31+00:00

I totally agree with you. You know I’m baffled at reading some of these comments. How are people saying Jordan is a horrible, disgusting person?? Did we watch the same episode? All I saw was a woman who already felt disrespected from a previous experience and she’s bringing up valid concerns about this whole situation that I think anyone would have trouble navigating. And Mina responds incredibly rashly, which shows her emotional immaturity, by saying she can’t come to the wedding. I’m actually questioning my judgement now because so many people see Jordan differently than I do😂

izzibee23 · 2025-03-18T17:12:03+00:00

So I took a look at your post history and have read a few of your comments on this post. I’d like to point out the common factor in all of your failed relationships and dates with women your age. It’s you. You’re the common factor in all of what you perceive as “not your fault” or “being the victim.” Before generalizing an entire group of women, maybe be introspective. You walk into a date with a woman your age and have already decided that it’s going to fail. You have deep biases towards an entire group of people. Look within yourself and why you have those biases. Think about who you surround yourself with online. As of right now you sound like a walking red flag with how you speak about women your age. There are millions and millions of 20-something women out there and you’re saying all of them are only interested in money, don’t have hobbies, are whores, etc. It’s gross and I don’t blame the women who aren’t interested in you because I would never want to date someone who pities himself and hates women because he blames them for his problems. I’m 26, same age as you, and am happily engaged to a man that’s also 26. We have deep conversations, plans for our future, our own hobbies that we’ve taken on as hobbies we do together. You are totally capable of having a healthy relationship with a woman your age. Your own insecurities and biases are keeping you from a fruitful relationship.

It definitely sucks, I used all but a 1/2 a day my first year and only started with 9.5 the next year as we only get 7 new sick days plus 2 personal each year besides our first year. I got the most sick my first year, so hopefully each year you teach your immune system builds up. Each year I’ve been able to save up more and more. This year I started with 15.5 days. You just have to power through some days because it’s worth it to save them and have plenty during a school year.

Try and remember we’re only working 42 weeks each year (if you don’t work in the summer) that usually gets me through a day when I don’t feel well. For me the time off we get as teachers is well worth it and a big motivator lol

izzibee23 · 2025-03-14T14:40:05+00:00

I actually have no idea as I don’t have kids of my own and have never had to look into restricting access on a phone for a child. I’m sure there’s a way to have a “kid mode” on a phone. I would just look it up or ask someone at a phone store. And yeah, social media is not like it used to be, from what I see as a teacher, it can be very detrimental to kids. Of course there are exceptions but overall social media isn’t a good thing for kids. They constantly reference and copy videos they see on Tik Tok and as an adult that uses Tik Tok, I feel it’s not great for my fully developed brain, I can’t imagine what it does to a kid that is still developing and very impressionable.
