She was so much more than a teacher.

I ate lunch in her room every day for a year because I didn’t have friends in my lunch period and I was too shy to talk to anyone new.

She took the time to get to know every last one of her students, enough that she could tell who was having a bad day and who needed extra help without having to ask.

She was one of the few teachers who believed in me when everyone else had given up. She convinced me not to give up on school. She convinced me to apply to my dream school, and wrote me an amazing letter of recommendation to help me get in.

When the assignment came up to create a new amendment to the constitution, she saw the passion I had for mine and went out of her way to get it as far as the office of our congressman, whether or not she believed in it.

She saw the good in every single person she met, even when no one else could.

She did so much more for me than almost any of my other teachers, and I only saw her a few days a week for an hour or two at a time. I can only imagine the kind of mother she must have been to her kids who were lucky enough to see her every day.

Her son was supposed to graduate today. Instead, she’s going to have to bury him. All because of an irresponsible decision made by a friend.

Five people were in the car when it flew over the train tracks and landed on it’s roof. So far, four have died. A group of kids thought it would be fun to speed over a set of tracks known to be highly dangerous, and because of that, two students who should’ve graduated today are dead, along with two others.

One of the sweetest individuals I have ever encountered in my life will never know the joy of watching her son walk up that aisle to get his diploma. She’ll never see him go to college or get married or start a family. Instead, she’ll only know the pain of loss.

Cars are not toys, and you endanger more than just yourself when you forget that. Don’t text and drive, don’t drive drunk, don’t speed to show off for your friends. It’s not funny, it’s not cool, and you just might kill someone.

The internet’s maggiekarp is tragically under-described. She has a deviantart (http://maggiekarp.deviantart.com/) and a tumblr (http://maggiekarp2.tumblr.com/).

i hate when people argue against getting tattoos with the line “it’ll look like crap when you’re older”

you know what else looks like crap when you’re older?

everything.

Man I better never grow boobs because they’re going to look terrible when I’m old.

Now see how stupid that argument is?

If I wanted someone to pretend to love me when it’s convenient for them, and then leave me the second things get complicated or they get bored, I’d get a cat.

But I fucking hate cats.

And dating at my age is pointless. I’m not going to find my soul mate at community college.

I’m perfectly okay with being a hermit for a while, thanks.

But if anyone happens to know any cute funny asexual people looking for a platonic life partner, then go ahead and hook dat shiz up.
