textspectations 

1. Your level of expected response time to texts you send. You have HIGH TEXTPECTATIONS if you expect quick responses. Someone with LOW TEXTPECTATIONS knows that people are busy with various things in their lives, no matter what time of day it is, and so they will get back to you when they get a chance. And also if someone texts you, and you reply immediately, but they don't reply back, realizing that they may have just made a quick text when they had a spare moment in the middle of something and don't have time for a conversation.

Used in a Sentence:

Her high textpectations led her to often feel ignored by her friends.
2. Textpectations could be your expectations of etiquette when texting. For example is it OK for someone to suddenly ghost in the middle of a conversation or do you expect at least a "gotta go" to let you know?
Used in a sentence:
She got a text from a friend, replied immediately with a question, but got no reply back. She got angry as she had better textpectations from that friend.
3. Waiting in suspense for a reply to a text. Agonizing text anticipation.
Used in a sentence:
He was waiting in textpectation to hear if she would go out with him Friday night.
4. What you are feeling when someone is always expecting immediate text responses.
Used in a sentence:

He was feeling a lot of textpectations from his new clingy girlfriend.
He was feeling a lot of textspectations from his new clingy girlfriend.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
