I Shared A Jail Cell With My Psycho Crush For YEARS Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

I will never forget the first time I saw Mike. It was my friend Lauren's 18th birthday and we were going out for pizza at our local Italian restaurant. It was raining really hard and we made a mad dash from the taxi into the restaurant.

“Look at me!” I said. “I look like a drowned rat!”

“Oh you look gorgeous, Zara.” Said my other friend Rebecca. “You always do!”

We grabbed a table and sat down. I didn’t know that within five minutes my life was going to change forever.

I Am The Only Boy In An All Girls College Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

I remember on my 7th birthday, I was particularly excited about one gift. It was a first aid kit toy. My relatives asked me multiple times if I was gonna be a doctor when I grew up, but I always said “No, I’m gonna be a nurse!”. They laughed, saying I was joking, but I wasn’t. I thought it was the best job in the world.

The day I got my acceptance letter to my dream college was… Bittersweet. I was over the moon, they didn’t accept many people and had the best nursing program, but then I received some bad news. I was celebrating with my parents at a restaurant, when my mom got up to answer a phone call. She came back to the table with tears in her eyes. My grandma was in the hospital. She had suddenly fallen ill. I was heartbroken and worried, but I turned these feelings into fuel. I had even more motivation to become a nurse now, because I wanted to be able to take care of my grandma.

I Got Adopted By The Strangest Family Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

I always get asked if it’s weird being an orphan, if I miss my parents, but what people don’t understand is that I lost my parents when I was 3, I have little to no memories of them. My first memory is holding on to a caretaker’s hand as I entered the orphanage I spent my childhood and early teenage years in.

The orphanage was pretty dull. My everyday routine was too repetitive. I woke up, showered, had breakfast in the dining hall by myself and then went to school. Breakfast and lunch were a drag, none of the boys in my dormitory talked to me and if they did, they would just taunt me.

“Eat up, Skelly!” They’d say, while tossing their half-eaten food onto my tray. They made fun of me for being a skinny guy, saying I looked like a skeleton. School was no better. I went to a terrible public school, because it was free.

I Got Paid To Date A Billionaire Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

I didn’t grow up rich. At all. I was raised by a strong woman who worked day and night to provide, so of course I didn’t mind working as a waitress. I took pride in it, in fact. I started at a diner and then a friend recommended me to the restaurant he worked at, this really fancy place, with chandeliers and all that jazz.

It didn’t take me long to get used to working there, some coworkers even said I looked like I was iceskating the way I moved so fluidly from table to table and with a smile on my face. At first my boss wanted to see how I worked with customers and stuff, but when she saw that I got great tips, she gave me my own section of the restaurant to supervise.

I Get Paid To Go On Dates With Girls | I Love My Life Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

My name is Richard but most people call me Richie. I guess the name is appropriate because I’m rich now! I’m only sixteen and I’ve already saved enough money for college! I come from a lower middle class family of seven. There was me, my mom, dad, two younger brothers and two older sisters. My dad had a good enough job and my mom worked as a library assistant. We didn’t have much, but we were happy and we appreciated that our parents worked hard to provide for us.

Anyway, things went downhill when my father said he had an important announcement. We were all seated at the dinner table and he said:

“I had to be rushed to the hospital this morning. After the doctors examined me and conducted some tests, they found out that I have Leukemia. I will begin treatment next week but I’ll have to quit my job.”

Psycho Mom Is Sentenced To Jail For Life, She Deserves It Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Aden Hillberry was the boy of my dreams. He was the most handsome guy in our high school and I was absolutely crazy about him. It’s kind of embarrassing but I would pull all sorts of tricks in order to get his attention. I would wake up way early in the morning and spend hours choosing the dress to wear for the day to look my best. I joined the cheer team to get popular. And I would always talk or laugh abnormally loud with my friends when he was around, all just to get his attention.

However, the most daring thing I did out of all has to be sneaking out of my house multiple times to go to the parties that Aden was going to be at.

Unfortunately, despite all of my efforts, he never noticed me. Trust me, even if I climbed a mountain for him, he would look the other way. He was just too proud I guess. Still, he was the only one I liked.

I Found A Book That Predicted My Death Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

I was thrilled the morning I woke up to go visit my best friend. It had been months since she moved about two hours away, so you can probably guess how much I missed her. I had packed my bag the night before, I didn’t need too many clothes since I was just staying there for a long weekend. My mom drove me to the train station since I didn’t have my license yet and I got on the train buzzing with excitement.

When I arrived at the train station in my friend Maya’s city, I was surprised to find it full of people. I found a bench to step onto and see over the crowd. I finally saw Maya doing the same thing as me. I jumped back on the ground and we pushed people out of the way before we were face to face. We were drawn to each other like magnets. I had missed Maya so much, and I even started crying.

I'm Poor In An All Billionaire's Club Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Who wouldn’t want to be rich and live like the billionaires? If you asked me I would say, absolutely, yes. In fact, I was obsessed with being rich and hanging out with the billionaires. But, to my misfortune, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth nor had I made any good money to be rich.

However, that didn’t mean I couldn’t live my dream or make them come true. Because I had few plans up my sleeve to live like a billionaire and be in the billionaire’s club.

To execute that plan, one day, I arrived at a famous golf course all nervous. I was not confident at all in my golfing skills as I had never played golf in my life. And I was also nervous about my real intention of being there and it was not playing golf.

My Crazy Twin Sisters Are Obsessed With Me Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever felt so happy you didn’t know what to do? Like there was so much joy and you just wanted to scream because, well, what else was there to do? I was having the best Friday ever. I couldn’t believe she smiled at me and gave me her number. I’ve never been bold enough to go after what I want, if you know what I mean. But as I gazed at Emma during Mr. Hellman’s boring Literature class I felt a spark inside and an urge to just send her a note. It said “Hey, I can’t stop staring at you. I’ve liked you for a while. Can I have your number?” I expected her to just throw it away but she sent one back. “I feel the same way.” and she wrote her number at the bottom. I took out my cellphone and sent her a message right away just to make sure she wasn’t kidding. She replied with a smiley face, then turned around and smiled at me – so I was sure it was her.

My Secret Relationship With My Super Attractive Nurse Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

“Ooo your girlfriend is so pretty Asher! What’s her name?” my annoying sister said as she crept up behind me. I was at my computer looking at pictures of gorgeous celebrities.

“That isn’t my girlfriend. Get out of my room you pest!” I said.

“You’ll never have a girlfriend anyway. You’re too ugly. Hahahahaha!” she replied while running out of my room.

She was little but I guess she was right – not about the ugly part but about me not ever having a girlfriend. Although I was already eighteen years old, I’d never had a girlfriend. This was my choice though. I found the girls my age too immature, needy and boring. I watched my friends get into petty, ridiculous arguments with their girlfriends and I just shuddered at the thought of me having to go through the same thing.
