- I've paid $32,501 of a $34,000 student loan for my undergrad, and yet I still owe $31,746 of the "principle" because my payments went to interest. This is BS! This is why student loans should be forgiven. It's not the loans we can't pay off, it's the unfair interest rates!
- My college son is taking a Literature of the Sea class and he texted to ask if I had any of the four titles on their syllabus and reader I HAVE ALL OF THEM I’VE NEVER FELT SO NEEDED!🤣
- Anyone else’s mother call your hair a rat’s nest when brushing it when you were little?
- Replying to @Jayne_MartinEXACTLY. When we say forgive student loans what we’re really saying is eliminate the interest. I’m ok repaying for my education. I’m not ok lining the pockets of banks.
- Currently at opposite ends with my husband when it comes to how we relax at night. He listens to loud music and I read. And nowhere in our house is it quiet enough for me to read when he’s listening to music. Who else thinks he should just wear headphones? 🤚🏽
- Thirty years ago in 1992 I was a sophomore in high school😱. Where my Gen Xers at? We count as historical fiction now 😜.
- Replying to @ericajberryAw I love this. I am also surrounded by elderly neighbors and we don’t have parties so I give them food. I’d been giving one of my elderly neighbors homemade chicken soup for years until another neighbor told me he was a vegetarian! He was just too nice to refuse my soup 🥰
- We don’t have billboards in Vermont. They made it a state law in the 70s. It’s gorgeous here and feels like another world when I go out of state. I hate all the ads.
- I run a small press and tomorrow we’ll be releasing our 11th book of the year!!! For reference, last year we released 12 books in 12 months so I’m patting myself on the back and then going to sleep 😂
GIF - My 21yo son and his girlfriend broke up and I’m so heartbroken! She was like one of the family and I really want to reach out to her to see if she’s ok but that’s probably an overreach right?
- I’ve been married for 9 years and my sister-in-law JUST requested to follow me on Instagram in case you’re wondering what it’s like to marry into a New England family 🙄.
- Everyone says your manuscript has to be extraordinary to land an agent/publisher but I read crappy books all the time, just saying.
