Think back to all those centuries ago (kidding), when you were but a wee teen in high school. Suddenly identity exploration and finding a sense of belonging become paramount. In those pivotal years, you meet other like-minded individuals with similar tastes and interests, and those people become your exclusive group of friends, otherwise known as a clique. High school might look very different now than how it once did, but this rite of passage is still very much alive and well. Just ask Ms. C, who goes by the handle @stillateacher on TikTok.Ms. C recently went viral for sharing a...

Editor's note: This article was originally published on March 4, 2023. It has since been updated. Teaching is an extremely rewarding profession that basically shapes the future of the world. However, teachers are always expected to do more than what their job description requires them to do and they are often not treated fairly. A teacher was put in a sticky situation when a parent was almost an hour late picking up their child. This had happened many times with several teachers, so this school decided to charge unpunctual parents a $2 fee for every minute they are late, reported Bored Panda.

The medical field demands extraneous efforts and energy to make it through serving and caring for patients. Nurses are responsible for assisting doctors and looking after patients’ every need. This task can get exhausting and is not for the faint of heart. @bestviralvidz shared a video capturing what nurses look like before and after their respective shifts. Pulling a 12-hour sturdy shift, nurses have much on their shoulders and it was baffling to see how different their before and after appearances are. In the video, over eight to 10 nurses were asked to say their names and mention, “This is me before my 12-hour shift” and “This is me after my 12-hour shift.”

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
