$18/cupcake, though. That’s INSANE.

I guess my UO would have to be that I don’t think it’s a college professors job to try and get someone help because they had a glass of wine (if they are of legal age) in class once. Based on the number of people in here who said they drank in class that would turn into a major undertaking. Never drank in class(never thought about it actually) but have definitely smoked (garaged) before classes. I definitely agree! Students get offended enough when I recommend the writing center. 🤷🏽♀️

vert de furk My friend paid $95 for a unicorn cake, and owned up to her mistake when she realized she never even listened to the quote. Apparently it was tasty, but not as tasty as the $14 one from Safeway. I don’t think $95 is out of the norm for a custom cake from a bakery. I paid $40 for my mother's 6 inch birthday cake. So yeah, a cake that feeds 4 people with no fancy decoration was $40. Granted it's gluten free and from the local cupcake place that was one of the winners of cupcake wars. It's literally the only thing my mother wanted, but I about died when the told me the price.

I’ve gotten cupcakes from the Target bakery for our last few birthday parties. They’ll customize them, they’re actually really good, and $10/dozen. Add some themed cupcake toppers and they look Pinterest AF.

Sam's Club has really stepped up their cake game. They had a very nice 2-tier unicorn cake in their grab-and-go cooler for $35 last weekend.

I love macarons. There’s a local bakery that is delicious. There’s another about an hour drive and I will make sure to stop there when I’m in the city.

I actually haven't read To All the Boys I loved Before, but I flat out refuse to believe the book could be better than the movie. That movie was like feel good heart happiness rolled up in a cloud fluffy joy.I did read the Godfather before I watched the movie. The movie is by far and away better. Michael the character really needed whatever it is Al Pacino brought to him. I know this was forever ago, but I had to pop in to say that the movie is significantly better than the book. The Peter K. character in book 1 and even more in book 2 is nowhere near as sweet and charming as he is in the movie. He's actually a bit of an ass, and while reading the series I was completely baffled at how and why I was expected to actually root for him as a love interest. They made significant improvements to his character in the script, and Noah Centineo's performance made him even better. This is my #1 example of movie better than book, actually.

Vaping is a HUGE problem in schools. The odds are tiny. They can sit with their chin their hand and be vaping and you don’t know it until the whole room smells like pineapple. Google popcorn lung if you think vaping isn’t bad for you. They are cracking down because an entire generation is going to face long term consequences. Our school resource officer gives them a ticket if hey get caught and they have to go to court. It’s no joke. My nephew said it’s so bad at his high school that as you walk through the parking lot, you hear the crunching of all the vaping pods you’re stepping on.
Most high schoolers are vaping. Many middle schoolers are as well. It’s a massive issue. You can order vape pods with weed from Amazon. Or so says our SRO. I would like to stress to my students how stupid that would be, but they are usually in the bathroom vaping.
