The way I see it, the only potential benefit to a Sunday date is that if it goes downhill quickly you can easily use the excuse of work the next morning to make a swift exit. With that said, I agree that Sunday is the absolute worst day of the week for a date and it’s not even close. This writer’s take is absolutely psychotic.
I know I’m way late with this comment but I’m floored to see some fellow Grand Rapids postgrads on this site. To the guy who wrote Dillon…it’s tough man but you did the right thing man. If I cross paths with you at some point first round is on me at Founders.
Man I read through this entire thing thinking that I was reading a DeFries article. This lead me to be confused as to why A) Will would just shamelessly toss in a link to your IG and B) Why Will would come out saying he wants a significant other when I’m pretty sure he has one. With that aside, I completely agree with this solid take.
This article hit close to home because I worked in retail after graduating college in order to pay bills while on the job hunt. One of the most awkward things for me was when I finally got someone to sign up for the store credit card but our system declined their application on the spot due to poor credit. I would awkwardly have to tell people “So um…it looks like our system is giving us some trouble right now so we’re going to have to just send your new card in the mail. Have a nice day.”
I can’t comment on the fashion aspect but my advice is that if you wear one while traveling to Australia, NZ, or the UK please do not walk around calling it a fanny pack.
First off, congrats man. Reading this brought back a weird sense of deja vu for me because I also proposed to my fiancee exactly one year ago on September 11th in a similar fashion (we had gone on a hike earlier in the day). Though I hadn’t planned it that way, at the time I was also worried that the date was a bad omen but luckily it turned out well. Best of luck to you two as you move forward and begin planning the wedding. My advice in that regard is to leave yourself with more time than you think you’ll need because a lot of shit will pop up out of nowhere that you hadn’t thought about in the early stages.
I could not agree more with this. My fiancee is fine with me going on the occasional “guys trip” but if I told her that I was planning on going down to NOLA with a bunch of my buddies and she wasn’t invited, I would be in some scalding hot water. My advice in this situation is to still use the points for a weekend in NOLA with the boys but not to scheduled it for New Years if you value your relationship.
This may be true but I’m just going to sit around and tell myself that my fiancee is talking about what a great guy I am and what a great marriage we’re going to have during her bachelorette party.
If I recall correctly, the new trend among kids these days is to post a picture of you two together on your Instagram account. I guess that’s the new “Facebook official” (source needed but strong possibility it was a DeFries article where I read that).
Awesome choice. Animaniacs was my favorite cartoon growing up and my fiancee and I have been binge watching it on Netflix since all four volumes are on there. Seeing all the adult humor that’s mixed in (which I can now understand) has confirmed that it’s still my favorite cartoon. I also never realized how much the show absolutely rips on Disney but it’s amazing and hilarious.
In between graduating college and my first real job was a period of about 5 months where I worked at Target for minimum wage while job hunting. Some of my sad dinners during that time frame included: A single can of tomato soup, Spaghetti O’s, three Rolling Rocks, and Pringles dripped in Nutella.
Yep, for this exact reason I’ve brought garbage bottom-shelf liquor to pregames ever since college. It usually deters people from wanting any or if they do want some they can be my guest because I give zero fucks.
Totally agree. Fake proposing was a shitbag move and this dude needs to be taught a lesson. You should really up the ante and record his reaction with a hidden camera for the ‘tent.

Well, if it hadn’t been clear up until that point that things might not work out, the proposal should have been a *dead* giveaway.

Was someone also murdered while the lights were out?

I think this calls for the full story if you’re going to come out swinging like that but not link your Twitter handle in your profile.

It’s a rite of passage.
Ok I’ve been irritated with girl for a long time BUT HATING ON TRADER JOE’S IS THE LAST STRAW.
What about “I’ll tell your parents we met in jail.” I hear women are really into the bad boy type these days.
