Hi! I’m Rebecca, a new professor in search of reasonable work outfits. I’m glad you’re here.

A new blog post is up and you can see how my home office came together! Featuring this rug, a DIY pretty filing cabinet, and a secret source for cheap white boards. Link is in my profile. Ps I put a home quiz in my stories cuz I love talking about home decor 🥰 Do you? Or are you all clothes all the time?
Had a great talk with many of you about what to do about this student who called me “Ms. (Dr.??)” to start an email. Some of the best thoughts were 1) assume positive intent, students don’t know better and you can correct them while preserving their dignity, 2) it’s ok to be hurt by this. THANK YOU to people who said that. I spend a lot of time trying not to be bothered by things. I think there’s pressure to be cool/chill about stuff that actually really hurts, 3) many excellent snarky responses were crafted but not sent (sign Dr. in 24 pt font, sign it Dr.!!!, send gifs). There are many many subtle ways we tell people they don’t belong in the job they have. Assuming faculty are not Drs because of their identity is one (see also the time a student said “whoa, you get your own office?!” Yep. Like every other prof...). OH BUT THE EMAIL SAGA CONTINUED MY FRIENDS. I’ll tell it in stories so that it is not preserved for all time here 🤦🏻‍♀️
Have you watched @thismomsgonnasnap shopping addiction stories lately? They have been so useful! It’s hard to admit to being addicted to the feeling of newness in my closet but it is so there for me. The flip side is that I’m all too willing to Marie Kondo—donating things makes me feel good, but also becomes an excuse to buy more. I am trying to get better at hanging onto clothes I once loved and reinvesting in them instead. This sweater was on its way to the donate pile but I used my sweater shaver ($5 on amazon, do it) and steamer on it and now it’s back in action. How do you know when it’s time to get rid of items versus hanging onto them? The snow jacket in my Vegas closet awaits your answer 🙃
Thank you for all the engagement well wishes 😭 we are very excited. And we have about 1000 questions about planning a wedding. Soooo if you have any advice about things you wish you did, you’re happy you did, things you’ve seen others do that you thought were awesome ideas, etc, please leave it here!!! 👇
Hiiii we’re engaged 🥂 here’s my pretty ring and our happy faces ❤️
Semester one is done 🥂 Except for grading! I wish I had more deep thoughts about my first few months of professoring. Maybe after a couple weeks off they will come to me. Thanks for hanging out through my outfits and freak outs (ok those mostly stayed off the gram) for the past few months ❤️
