    10 Easy Ways to Kill The Mood…Fast

    Hooking up in college is similar to navigating a minefield. You never quite know what you’re getting into or when it’s all going to go horribly wrong. Often the best of intentions turn out to be the most humiliating moments of your life. Here are the Top 10 Mood Killers you’re likely to encounter during your career as a collegiate bed hopper.

    The Post-Grad Journey: Adulthood Decision Making 101

    Looking back, college didn’t require a lot of serious decision making – even though I thought it did. For the most part, I made decisions about frivolous things such as: Should I wear pajamas to class today? Should I stick to rum and Coke or go for the Jager bombs? Should I go out tonight or should I spend time working on that eleven-page term paper?

    Tuffy Luv Sez: Flooz THIS!

    Dear Tuffy Love,
    I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for about a year and a half now. His mom and I have had a good, but sometimes strained, relationship. She has some resentment towards me for “taking her baby away”; you know, the usual mom-problems.

    Salmon Vodka – Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?

    I’m all about vodka (I’m an equal opportunity drinker) and I like me a nice piece of lox from time to time (usually on a big, delicious bagel), but I’m sure I’m not the only person who thinks this pairing is more disturbing than Spencer and Heidi.

    Maxim Says The Darndest Things: July Edition

    If I were to understand what guys need advice on via Maxim magazine, there would be three things; grilling, telling jokes, and this month, ‘what to do if you’re approached by a hot woman or a bear.” Golf-clap to you Maxim – job well done.

    The Bachelorette: Rated R’s Got a Secret

    I’m going to resist titling this week’s Bachelorette report “Why I Should Be Selected as the Next Bachelorette” and not proceed into all the reasons why this season is kind of lackluster and how I would really do a better job. Trust me, it would be a riveting read (much like the season I have planned for myself), but I’ll spare you just this once.

    C’mon Get Happy! Three Ways to Get Happier in Your Dating Life

    As a dating coach, I can’t believe how many ladies come to me wanting a happy and fulfilling relationship but aren’t actually happy with themselves. WHAT???? How much sense does that make? Or is that poor, unknowing, already-set-up-to-fail guy supposed to “complete you”? Lucky them.

    Intern Diaries: Fashion is More Stressful Than Work

    This morning I was dangerously close to missing my train into NYC for my internship. So late, in fact, that I had to sprint from my car, up the stairs, and onto the train platform to hurl myself through the train doors about a second before they closed behind me, leaving me panting and sweating in front of a group of polished businessmen. (Always a good way to start the day.)

    Can We Stop Babying High School Seniors?

    Those of you who recently graduated from high school might be familiar with the new trend in academic ranking: multiple valedictorians. Say what? It’s true, in another attempt to placate everyone and their parents spread the love, school systems are recognizing arbitrary numbers of honored graduates- 7, 10, 23, 94- as valedictorians.

    Wardrobe Wish List: Flowers in the Fountain Dress by ModCloth

    Last week I had a series of outfit mistakes, each one leaving me standing on a subway platform, sweating like a pig, wishing I could strip naked and put on something that wasn’t bringing on hot flashes like a menopausal woman.

  • College Q&A: I Don’t Want to Live With My B.F.F.

    College Q&A: I Don’t Want to Live With My B.F.F.

    Help! My best friend from home has just informed me that she’s transferring to my school in the fall. (I knew she applied and I’m so excited to have her there, but she was on the wait-list and just found out). Anyways, she doesn’t really know that many people at my school and doesn’t want to live with all the freshmen in the dorms, so she asked if there was any extra space in my house for next year.
