I Got Fired For Being Polite To a Man Who Hit On Me
If you’ve scrolled through TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen a dark-haired lady clapping as she demands women to be polite to men who hit on them, along with replies from hundreds of other TikTokers advising you against this. I can only speak to my own experiences, but I was polite to a man who hit on me and I ended up getting fired for it.

Little Girls Growing Up Too Fast
We were among the lucky children growing up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York. Having New York City for a hometown could be very daunting it was not just your typical hometown with a simple Main Street. Children who grew up in small towns, in my eyes, were the lucky ones where everyone knew each other, and you could have a real sense of belonging.

My Potato Burst into Flames
I'm having a string of bad luck. My printer/scanner/copier died last weekend, and I have over eighty pages I need to print by this coming Sunday. Last Saturday, I fell up the stairs of the church at my cousin's wedding straight into the preacher, who thankfully caught me. My homeowners insurance nearly doubled this year, and I had to scramble to find another company before my mortgage payment increased by $155.00 a month. All of that is discouraging, but Tuesday took the cake.

The night I was voted off the Island
I have had my share of embarrassing moments in life. I am short, have horrible eyesight, wore braces on two different occasions, and I have a hard time pronouncing words like spaghetti, hamburger, and supposedly. I get nervous talking to co-workers, my jokes are only good in my head, and my ‘go-to’ line in heated arguments is ‘Oh really!’

Whatever time, whatever place, whatever age
I always thought the most embarrassing moments would happen when a human was at an old age, or at an age where others would find any mistake amusing. However that was not the case in my situation. Surprisingly, I actually care about what my fellow high schoolers think about me: if they know how strange I am on the inside; if they assume I’m just the nerdy, book loving girl everyone sees on the outside or if they don’t take notice of me and I’m normally this much of an over thinker. Unfortunately for my reputation, I expect it’s the last option. When these ridiculous memories ponder in my imagination, it’s hard not to panic and keep the fear from reaching my eyes.

His Secret
Everyone’s secrets vary; but the deeper you dig within the more you realize. I have messed up pretty bad. But in a way I don’t regret it because of the result. I remember when I first met him. Tall, dark hair and a surprising lack of expression. He seemed like a military man being as serious as he was. His eyes seemed so innocent looking and clear but it truly was just a mirror for he wouldn’t ever let anyone into his soul. After his interigation I was given the permission to be his partner. But still his eyes were still a mere reflection. His laughter seemed so realistic and his kisses seemed genuine as his lips played with mine. It seemed as real as the Bright blue sky. We were expecting a surprise within no time at all not long after the new year. Every witness who saw us said it was unlike anything ever witnessed. The physical affliction was so real the surprise was surly the symbol of our love. But not long after the surprise he changed. The midnight was present as I fell victim to his true nature. He casted all love and passion aside and took what he desired. Only thing present was my flesh and my soul which broke. My mind and body numb, my voice gone. Silence fell and bleeding physically. He threw himself aside as I tremble upon the carpet till I felt the cold tile of the bathroom. All I saw was red, just red against the white tile. My mind failed and crawling into the shower. Stiches torn. My body weak and here I lay. As my vision goes black.

The Embarrassing Tales of an Undergraduate Student
I’ve always tried to live my life with no regrets. This means that I try to balance my logical brain with following my heart. The results, so far, have led to a life full of stories that, while I think are funny, when I tell them, I watch the people I’m talking to cringe.
