You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Lots of people wanted Team USA to apologize or fail. Their World Cup win is one of the greatest responses in sports

I've learned to expect a lot in the classroom but a giant frog jumping through the window and inciting total chaos is definitely a new one #lavidapanameña #pcv

Cautionary tale of getting an older sibling to do your homework for you

Student: my mother always has the morning shits
Me: I'm sorry the what?
Student: her shits, they are in the morning everyday
Me (in spanish): do you know what that means?
Student: she works hard?
🤦🏼‍♀️

I love when I feel super tan and then I take a non bucket shower for the first time in a few weeks and I realize I was just really, really dirty #dustisthenewtan #pcv #Panama

@FatPippin I had to wait until a group of kids walked past and I yelled at them to open the front door and then let me in lol

My cat locked me outside while I was taking a shower last night so I was stuck in a towel, somehow managed to turn the outdoor light off, and I'm pretty sure I heard her laughing too.

My favorite thing is watching men's jaws drop when they realize the gringa they've been oogling and talking about speaks Spanish 💃🏼#pcv

I don't have drinking water because my landlord put a dissolvable chlorine bar into my water tank while I was gone and without telling me, but I smell way cleaner then I ever have in Panama 🛁

I’m apalled Rashida Tlaib said “motherfucker.”

She should’ve said “grab them by the pussy.” Or perhaps “moved on her like a bitch.”

You know—civil language befitting the solemnity of the office.

Trying to prepare my parents to come and stay with me in Panama is probably the most I've ever lied #pcv

After 8 months in site one of my counterpart just asked me, oh so working for the Peacecorps is a job? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Honestly I don't have any emotional stress left for worrying about the future because most of it is spent trying to decide which hallmark Christmas movie to download next and where I'll find the wifi to do it

Happiness tip: Don't spend three hours looking at grad school tuitions and calculating whether there will be anything left of you at all when you die #passthewine
