Thursday Edition - August 28, 2025

Good morning Member

It’s a feel-good Thursday! Yesterday I spent time with my high school best friend—we’ve known each other for what feels like a lifetime. We cooked dinner, stayed up late like one of our old sleepovers, and laughed about the things we used to think were cool 🫢. It reminded me how much the world has changed since then (and how different everything feels now). It made me wonder: what part of your school experience would feel shocking today? Head to the forum and share your story!
