Like any good dip, there are 8 layers to a Southern goodbye: - "about to leave" warning - a "we've gotta go" statement - hugs - walking to the driveway - one more conversation in the driveway - more hugs - talking while everyone's piling in the car - pulling out of the driveway

Working in social media is like being asked to DJ on the Titanic.

Your reminder that some accountability is a good thing.

I contain multitudes, and several of them need a nap.

People of Twitter, I beg of you to stop recycling the same 25 tweets! I’ve been here a long time! I remember all of them! 🤦‍♀️

I’m not for everyone. Thank God. What a scheduling nightmare.

I would like credit for all the times I kept it classy.

I tend to get worried when gas prices resemble a GPA.

People debating the qualifications to be a motivational speaker. Sweetheart. If someone hands you a microphone and you don’t immediately black out, congratulations. You’re qualified.

Hey Blazers, welcome back from spring break. If you look outside and think, “Are those… snow flurries?” Yes, they are. The weather didn’t get the memo that it’s mid-March. No issues expected on campus, just a brief winter cameo before our regularly scheduled pollen.

“Beware the Ides of March.” 
A prophecy delivered by a soothsayer that Caesar famously ignored. Which, in fairness, is very on brand for powerful men throughout history.

I love when someone says: “We just need a quick social media post.” Like it’s a Pop-Tart you pull out of the strategy toaster.
