Does anyone know how to get your TikTok to stop showing you videos you’re not interested in? I swear, for the last week, all I’ve gotten are different dudes dressed in nurse costumes and doing cutesy dances, and no matter what I do, I keep getting more! I know I talk about nursing a lot and my phone spies on me but that’s my major, what am I supposed to do?!

The for you page shows you videos the algorithm thinks you'll be interested in based on things you've watched on the app and the pages you follow

So how important do we think going back to school and getting a Master’s actually is? Because deadlines are coming up for next year, and I’m not going to lie, the longer I’m on the road traveling, the harder it is to imagine settling down and being a student again.

Doing what makes you happy is so much more important than going back to school.

I'm finally home from Thanksgiving with the family so that means a quiet weekend in putting the Christmas decorations up before I go back to work on monday unless anyone has a better idea.

So, um, I may have slacked on sprucing up my office before school started this year. Oops? But it’s not too late and I feel like I should add something new still. I was thinking of maybe putting some inspirational quotes on my walls. Good idea or no? And if I do, do you think I should go just posters or maybe try and get them framed?

[clarissa-lb]

You seem to be forgetting that you are literally friends with an interior designer. I don't know whether or not to be offended by that! But honestly, don't you think you're a bit young for an office full of inspirational quotes? Mr Potts, you would do well to remember you're not an old man yet! Framed prints are a yes though.

Kylie: Tiktok makeup facts are actually pretty accurate as far as I've seen! I test basically all of them just for funsies and I think the nipple one works well. I do like your trademark red lipstick though. It's very early Taylor Swift, but you could afford to expand! You've got a great face, it could carry a lot.

Clarissa: Red's just always been my favorite color. I guess it wouldn't do any harm to try it out either way. I'm way overdue to buy new makeup anyway. I don't suppose you're free for a shopping spree any time soon are you?

Kylie: Why not?! You wear lipstick, it seemed relevant. And I didn't discover it, I WISH I had, then I'd be a genius! I heard it on Tiktok!

Clarissa: I mean, I'm curious now as to how accurate that is, but I'm too much of a fan of my usual red lipstick. Like how much can you actually trust facts you find on Tiktok?

Romeo: I know and appreciate that you're an expert at time management, but I just like to be accommodating of your schedule. It's only polite. And besides, apparently you're very busy with work mixers. Can I just comment about how incredibly beautiful you looked in that photograph? I haven't stopped thinking about it since you posted.

Romeo: I definitely will. Any movies you've been meaning to watch, or should we choose one at random?

Clarissa: You're always so sweet. I'm not always very busy with work mixers, this was just my first one and I think it makes sense for me to get to know the people I work with. Thank you. Even more beautiful than normal?

Clarissa: I never stop thinking about you.

Clarissa: Well, seeing as you're always such a perfect gentleman, I'll let you do the honors of choosing the movie. Preferably not horror though please.

First work mixer. Wish me luck!

Kylie: Fun fact! Apparently your perfect lipstick shade is supposed to be whatever color your nipples are! The more you know, right????

Clarissa: I could have literally gone my entire life without needing to know that information... How did you even discover that?

Romeo: Is my favorite interior designer free any time soon to accompany me to the movies? Apparently there's a theater that sells cocktails and while I'm usually more of a wine drinker, the idea of a margarita in a movie theater is admittedly appealing.

Clarissa: I always have time for my favorite people! I know I've been a bit busier since graduating, but the people I care about will always take priority in my life.

Clarissa: But yes, movies and margaritas with one of my closest friends does sound amazing. Let me know a day and a time, and I promise I'll be there.

Clarissa: I really never thought starting a job could be so exciting! Is this how starting your career is supposed to feel?

[clarissa-lb]

How do you feel about your siblings's love lives?

Honestly? It's none of my business who my siblings date, as long as they're respectable enough people.

Even if Claudia is wasting her life publicly pining after someone who isn't remotely interested in her

Ask my character "How do you feel about ______?" Can be an idea, person(s), place, or thing, and they'll have to answer honestly.

Magnolia: Ew fuck no. I don't dream of labor.

Magnolia: Good, because he doesn't. At least you didn't waste the bag-carrying potential.

Clarissa: Well in that case, you'll make an excellent trophy wife one day!

Clarissa: I would never waste that. It's so much better than having to put bags on the floor look at things in shops.

Magnolia: Yeah, tell me about it, school is a NIGHTMARE sometimes. I'm not looking forward to fall, not one bit. I'm so happy you got your dream job, you earned it!

Magnolia: He so doesn't count for that! Romeo's nice but you can't do girly shopping with a frat boy, it just doesn't compute. Do you at least make him carry all your bags for you? That's the best part of shopping with a boy.

Clarissa: Thank you. It wont be too much longer before you're applying for your dream job!

Clarissa: I never said he counted as a girly shopping companion. I just happened to mention that I needed some help picking out some new bathing supplies after a particularly glittery night out and he was kind enough to accompany me. I didn't make him carry my bags but seeing as he offered it would have been rude to deny him that privilege.

Magnolia: Oh, you'll TOTALLY fall in love someday, I'm sure of it. Like, real deep-ass love with some guy that totally deserves you. I just think you've got to change the way you're looking at it, but hey, I'm just a ho, what do I know, right? You excited for the new job?

Magnolia: Sure! You know I'm down!

Clarissa: I am so excited for it! It's literally my dream job! I'm mostly just relieved to be done with school though.

Clarissa: Awesome! The last person I went shopping with was Romeo. I'd love to go on girly shopping trips with Cris but she's not into that sort of thing and I really don't know that much about video games.

Magnolia: I love you, Clarissa, so very much, but you got almost offended when I called you 'bitch' in a fun feminist way, so forgive me for thinking you don't seem so easy-breezey-beautiful-Covergirl. And if you're expecting love at first sight, then you don't really want love, because love is full of things that can't be seen. And I can't be responsible for that.

Magnolia: Yes, score! Where can I find it for you?

Clarissa: I love you too. I still believe it will happen for me.... but when I start my new job it will be a good way to get to know new people without the stress of awkward first dates.

Clarissa: It was in the cutest little boutique. We can go tomorrow so I can show you it if you want? I'm long overdue for a girly shopping day and it's been ages since we last hung out.
