Both of us realized we haven’t Googled ourselves as though we were potential employers in quite some time…so we decided to see just what kind of Internet dirt we were able to dig up on each other.

By now you’ve probably realized that we here at the Jane Dough have a ton of feels about prom. We’ve investigated why prom expenses have skyrocketed, we’ve reflected on our own prom anxieties, and we’ve even tried to figure out just what in the hell prom is meant to signify (femininity? tradition? social stratum? we still don’t know!), but, at the end of the day, prom is just one incredibly potent night of sentimentality, ceremony, and gangly teens in grown-up dresses, sweating, smiling, and trying to figure out what is making their backs itch.

You know the feeling. It looks something like this.

Happy Arbor Day! Oh, you didn’t notice it was a holiday? Arbor Day, which comes mere days after its much flashier sister holiday Earth Day, “is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees.” While we have absolutely nothing bad to say about that, the fact that it falls on a Friday and is all about enjoying the outdoors makes it a bitter pill for those of us stuck in offices to swallow.

We have something for you to celebrate!

Who do you model your relationship after? Your parents? A couple in your social circle? Jay Z and Beyoncé? Well, throw those all out the window (except for Jay and Bey, they are perfect) because we have new role models for you.

When I was a kid, as soon as the weather got nice my teachers were besieged by students whining “Can we have class outsiiiiiiiide today?” Occasionally when they decided to indulge our ADD we’d head outdoors and sit in a circle and tie knots in blades of grass, and pay absolutely no attention to whatever [...]

Uh, what is going on on Craigslist?

Fun with Google Autocomplete: everybody’s doing it. And if there’s one thing you should know about The Jane Dough it’s that we are very susceptible to peer pressure. JK, we’re our own people.  (Unless that’s not cool, in which case we totally aren’t. ;] ;]) (Why didn’t you text us this weekend?) (Did we do something wrong?) (What is everyone saying about us?) (WE LIKE YOU SO MUCH.)

Whither Samantha?!
