Jan Berenstain Dies at 88; Created Berenstain... →

In simple form: Rachel and Quinn have an incredibly strong connection and are just what the other one needs.

• Go get back in bed, thus letting others and yourself down, or; • Harden the fuck up.
As far as I’m concerned, “harden the fuck up” is one of the central tenets of adulthood. I’m tempted to get it tattooed on...

I can’t fathom it. Also, only 6 weeks-ish until April 1. What?
