Bare Minimum Texts We Don’t Entertain 💅🏽

2025/6/29 Edited to

... Read moreIn today’s fast-paced dating culture, maintaining standards in messaging can redefine your connections. The phrase 'wyd' is often a tell-tale sign of lazy communication, lacking genuine effort or intention. It’s important to recognize that communication is a two-way street; therefore, expect partners to invest time and energy into their messages. High-quality interaction begins with clear expectations. When someone reaches out with a vague 'what are you doing?', consider this an opportunity to set the tone for future conversations. Encourage those interested in you to articulate their plans, whether it’s a specific date or a thought-out proposal. This not only prioritizes your time but also elevates your standards, fostering healthier relationships. Moreover, it’s essential to maintain the balance between being approachable and setting boundaries. Sharing your interests with hashtags like #DreamyBaddie, #iDateOnlyProviders, and #SpoiledGirlStandards helps create a community that resonates with the values you uphold. By following these trends, you can find others who agree that putting minimal effort into communication is unacceptable. Ultimately, don’t shy away from expressing your expectations. A little confidence can go a long way in ensuring potential partners know you seek quality over quantity in your messages. By embracing these ideals, you transform dating into an uplifting experience rather than a chore.

A tablet displays a debt payoff dashboard. Overlay text introduces 'Student Loans 101' and outlines three key comparisons: Public vs Private, Subsidized vs Unsubsidized, and PLUS vs Parent PLUS loans.
This image compares Public and Private student loans. Public loans are from the US Dept. of Education, require FAFSA, and may defer payments. Private loans are from lenders, require credit checks/cosigners, have higher rates, and may require in-school payments.
This image differentiates Public Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans. Subsidized loans have lower, fixed interest, with the government paying interest while in school. Unsubsidized loans are similar but the government does not cover accruing interest during school.
👇BARE minimum you should know about STUDENT LOANS
Not all aid are created equal so it’s EXTREMELY important to know the differences among #studentloans before taking them out! I just filled out my FAFSA for 2025-2026 and here is a quick refresher if you’re an upcoming first year in university or someone returning for grad school. Best of luck to

Dads don’t need credit for doing the bare minimum
Something I feel has been going on for decades is the way society views and applauds moms and dads. Moms are often seen as the go to parent, the one who’s supposed to be doing it all no matter what! I wish we celebrated mothers whether they’re doing the bare minimum or going above the expectation!
