For many, high school is one of the most (if not the most) colorful years of their lives. Some met the love of their life and experienced their first kiss, while others made lifelong friends. But for these people, it was a time when they witnessed such a disgraceful scandal that it remained fresh in their minds for many years. They spoke about it in a recent Reddit thread , where they shared stories about teacher-student relationships, unwanted pregnancies , and illegal activities that could easily be a plot to a crime thriller....

Every friend group has roles—there’s the planner, the chef, the DJ, and, of course, the ” babysitter.” But not the one with the most kids ; almost always, it’s the one without them. Apparently, not having tiny humans means you’re available and ready to parent everyone else’s. It’s funny how people will pack matching outfits for vacation but forget to pack common sense. One netizen learned the hard way that being the only one in the group without kids meant she was assigned the role of babysitter for a bunch of little ones, so their parents could go out and drink....

You see what makes these ceramic creations absolutely stunning, is what happens when you turn off the light.

Do you remember, a couple of days ago, I told you about a girl to whom her mom ‘gifted’ a name that was unusually ornate in writing, and for which she was subjected to severe criticism and insults when she legally changed it to the usual spelling?

When I see something I like, I take a screenshot, then edit the picture in Snapseed and upload it on Instagram with location info and such. I love the app anyways so this felt like a nice way to share some findings and things I saw. Hope you will like them....

I used to work in conflict zones and the organisation I worked for would encourage us to leave every three months for a week or 2 to relax and decompress. They would even give us some pocket money!

I take rosebuds apart and restructure them into new kinds of whimsical flowers. Now they can always stay in bloom without having a fear to fade.

What do you think about such one of a kind rose jewelry? Would like to wear them?...

Cats are peculiar creatures. They do whatever they want whenever they want it, often blatantly disobeying the rules enforced by humans. So, when a cat is eager to cross the road, no one will stop her. Well, unless it’s a police officer who is kind enough to offer to escort her. Only then the cat may obey and wait for him to clear the road for her. Certainly, every cat would love this sort of special treatment....
