Dear Kermit, It's a classic conflict. You find yourself in a place you love; a place that has embraced you and made you feel at home. The people you have met quickly found places in your heart and become family. This place is truly special and you know it, and you could stay in this… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Conflicted in Connecticut

Kermit Says: Nobody’s Perfect…And That’s Okay (Trigger Warning)
Growing up, I often felt as though my knees were buckling under immense amounts of pressure. I’m not saying I didn’t have an amazing life filled with some pretty amazing people, but there were times when the need to be perfect outweighed everything. When required perfection controlled every movement, every thought, and every situation, the… Continue reading Kermit Says: Nobody’s Perfect…And That’s Okay (Trigger Warning)
Dear Kermit: Chunky in Chicago
Dear Kermit, I am f-a-t. Fat. Hefty. Big boned. Chunky. You know that Eddie Murphy movie with the Klumps? Well I’m pretty sure he wrote that about me. I’ve tried everything to lose weight, but nothing works. I’m usually okay with my body, except for when summer rolls around. I’m so self-conscious that I’d rather… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Chunky in Chicago

Kermit Says: Live
I recently had the pleasure of serving as the dorm head for a high school reunion for the class of 1954. Upon hearing that this particular class would be celebrating their 60th high school reunion (*applause*), I just knew this would be a piece of cake because they’d be quiet, neat, and in bed by… Continue reading Kermit Says: Live

Signed, Heartbroken Hermonite Dear Heartbroken Hermonite, Let’s… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Heartbroken Hermonite

Kermit Says: Be OUTRAGED
I interrupt the “Be a Team Player” series to bring you an important message… Over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls chose to defy the odds and get an education to better their lives, country, and the world. But educating a girl means granting them with limitless power, and for some, that’s a scary thing. In an effort to… Continue reading Kermit Says: Be OUTRAGED
Kermit Says: Be a Compromiser
Have you ever been in a situation where you were working on a group project, but you and your group members couldn’t agree on anything? Or maybe you wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant for dinner with some friends, but they wanted Italian? How did you move on? Where did you go from there?… Continue reading Kermit Says: Be a Compromiser
Kermit Says: Be a Team Player
Why do teachers insist on assigning group work? So kids learn how to work together? So they learn how to be responsible? So they learn how to communicate? Well, as a teacher I can say it’s all of the above and more. And whether you’re inside or outside of school, group work really never ends.… Continue reading Kermit Says: Be a Team Player
