I know. I didn’t think it was possible either, you know, with a paycheck coming in and all, but I assure you it is. If there’s one thing I’ll never understand, it’s student discounts. Why discount items for students, who are able to live off their parents and loans, have limited expenses outside bars and liquor stores, and have zero obligations to sport anything dressier than pajamas on a daily basis? I’d like to petition a change to “Yo-Pro discounts”. We pay rent and bills just like regular professionals, need to start from scratch with a grown-up wardrobe, and must begin to pay off the aforementioned loans.

The other night Sunshine Girl and I were hanging out with a group of friends and talking about some of her finer first dates. That is to say, we were telling embarrassing stories about some of the dudes she has gone out with. I’m pretty sure we can all agree there have been some winners. Good Times Guy was no exception.

Me: “Tell the Good Times Guy story – pleeease!”

Sunshine Girl: “Fine. But then we are telling an embarrassing story about you.”

I said, “Of course we will.” But I really meant, “There is no way we are telling any of those stories.”

The other day I was hanging out with Miss Inappropriate and commenting on how dangerous it is to keep Next Choice and Benadryl in the same drawer. When you are trying to take Benadryl after having the world’s largest margaritas, those pink boxes start to look real similar. Luckily, the pills inside don’t.

[A note from our pregnancy-prevention sponsor: Keeping Next Choice (emergency contraception, or Plan B), on hand is a good idea. That way if you need it, you don’t have to get up, get dressed, and find a drugstore that will sell it to you.]
