Dear Tuffy Luv,
Oh, Tuffy, I really need your help.
I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year now. It hasn’t been a completely easy time and we’ve had to overcome a lot, but we’ve stayed strong. Every day, our relationship gets deeper and I find myself falling more and more in love with him.
All that being said, I’ve kind of become The Crazy Girlfriend. You name it, I do it. I check his phone after he leaves the room, I secretly log into his Facebook almost daily, I’ve gone through his room and the entire contents of his computer, I’ve read his MSN logs, I check his Internet browsing history and spend a huge amount of my time obsessing over his ex-girlfriend. The fact that he has slept with other girls drives me absolutely insane, almost to the point of physical illness. This is unbelievably hypocritical as I’ve been with others guys, too. But anytime I see or hear about his ex (who is sort of still part of our group of friends), I lose my cool completely. I just can’t get the idea of them together out of my head. He told me when we first started dating that they had never exchanged ‘I love yous’ but I found out through reading old Facebook messages that this isn’t true. This has made me even more jealous, possessive and CRAZY. I feel like this has given me some license to keep snooping and obsessing.
All of this is completely humiliating to me and I would have no idea what to do if he found out. I just want to stop! I know my boyfriend loves me and I love him, so why am I acting like this?
Love,

As far as people go, I am rather intolerant. I am intolerant of people who do not clean the coffee maker after they use it. I am intolerant of couples that walk too slowly together on the sidewalk and therefore block all of the people behind them. Mismatched outfits and too much eye makeup make my blood boil. And don’t even get me started on people who don’t know how to parallel park.
However, I’ve always felt that I exemplify a very accepting society when it comes to the bigger issues. Things like racial inequality or sex discrimination. I’m all about equal rights for everyone, regardless of race or gender. In fact, when my professor made me argue for school segregation and against gay marriage last week as a class exercise, I started laughing because I literally had nothing to say.
Why wouldn’t we want everybody to be happy?
Doesn’t everyone feel this way?
Doesn’t the law basically say just live and let live?
Yeah, apparently not. The events of the past couple of weeks have informed me that I am completely wrong about the world and the people living in it. Turns out, my tolerance isn’t the rule, it’s the exception. And minority groups, especially the gay population, have to put up with way more than I realized. Read More »
Home girl looks goooood!
I am completely and unabashedly Team Kanye, so I should have rolled my eyes and sighed most despondently when I saw Taylor Swift on the cover of Glamour this month. But I’m mildly fascinated with Miss Taylor. Maybe it’s because she rarely straightens her hair (curly haired girls represent!) Maybe it’s the way she puts all of her former beaus on blast (wouldn’t you be bitter if you got dumped by a Jonas Brother?) Or maybe it’s because although “Single Ladies” IS the best video of all time, “You Belong With Me” is definitely one of the most relateable songs of all time. And it’s fun to dance to in your underwear….
Fine, I admit it. I think Taylor Swift is utterly fabulous. I have not an ounce of shame.
Moving on.
This issue of Glamour was incredibly informative. Ashlee Simpson has a “thriving” music career. High heels tend to skew even higher during recessions. And, oh my god, it’s okay to order dressing on the salad and not on the side (oh my god, who knew it was okay to appreciate flavorful, calorie-riffic food sometimes?)
But perhaps the most enlightening piece is entitled “Weird Male Habits We’ll Never Understand.” At least, that’s what I thought before I actually started reading the content. Then I realized that Glamour just doesn’t know what fun is. Read More »
Do Columbia students not carry books?
Have you ever been so excited for something – counting down the minutes, planning your day around it, fantasizing about how amazingly awesome it is going to be, turning off your cell phone so you won’t be interrupted – only to be totally disappointed? Yeah, welcome to the day I lost my virginity my Monday night.
So thanks for nothing, Gossip Girl.
After Chuck’s brazen (and dare I say super sexy) declaration of war during last week’s episode, I was chomping at the bit to see how things would go down. As each day passed, I got more and more excited for my Monday night date with Chuck and the rest of the UES crew. I had dreams (that are too inappropriate to divulge here) about me, Chuck and his private plane. I had visions of a Chuck and Blair reunion. I wrote aggressive emails to the GG writing staff to push Juliet out of a window at the top of the Empire….
And then, 60 boring minutes and a bag of pretzel M&Ms later, I was bitter and angry…and really thirsty (seriously, what is it with those M&Ms?). What was it that was getting my granny panties in a bunch? Read More »
We’re well into another new school year and to honor that, we at CollegeCandy are bringing back the fan-favorite series, “We’ve All Been There.” (We tried to get another national holiday/long weekend for you guys but it’s way harder than we thought so this will have to do.) Every week, Lauren – University of Michigan will comment on the common experiences all college women share – like stupid group projects or, everyone’s favorite activity, procrastinating. Read, relate, cringe and enjoy.
You’ve spent the past 4 nights in the library flipping through your tattered notebook. You’ve highlighted and re-highlighted all the most important sections in the textbook. You’ve answered the sample review questions your T.A. gave out and the entire review packet distributed at the review session.
Hell, you went to the review session.
And now, on the eve before the big blue book exam, you feel ready to go. You’ve done everything you can and now it’s time to show that little blue book who’s boss.
Before you climb into bed at the ripe hour of 11 p.m., you pack your messenger bag with two blue books, 2 pens (in case one runs out of ink), a few pencils (in case that is what the teacher prefers), White-out, gum, tissues and a bag of Sour Patch Kids (for a post-exam celebration). You set your alarm and snuggle into your Twin XL to get the required 8 hours before the big day.
Except you only got 5 hours. The other three were spent staring at the ceiling freaking out.
“Oh God. This exam is 50% of my grade. 50! I can not eff this up. What is an example of Intrinsic Motivation? What are the symptoms of Multiple Personality Disorder?! Why am I still awake?!” Read More »
The Huffington Post created this gem of a slideshow several days ago. Liz O’Neill claims that the usual reasons your roommates loathe you (you’re a slob, a mooch, etc.) are veils for deeper, subtler issues. Actually, they hate you because you are prettier than them. And, you’re going to make more money than them in a few years!
As I read this, I felt like I was listening to a mother stroke her child’s ego. The different hate-causing categories of behavior Ms. O’Neill gives are bizarre. And, based on my own college experiences, totally ludicrous (I mean, seriously? My roommates don’t like me because I have a diary? Seriously?).
So, here are the REAL 7 reasons your college roommates hate you. And sorry – we’re not going to sugar-coat these bad boys. Read More »
If you’ve got today off from class, then good for you. I’m glad you’re taking this opportunity to watch reality TV marathons and binge eat 100 Calorie Packs. There’s no shame in that. But next time you’ve got an extended weekend, perhaps you should round up your besties and hit the road.
Austin is oh-so trendy (in a good way) and boasts delicious culinary treats. How can you say no to a making s’mores right in a restaurant? Hit up Boston if you’re in the Northeast. From potential celeb sightings to swank clubs, Beantown’s got it all. If you’re feeling stuck in the Midwest, head to Minneapolis to take in some cosmopolitan activities. And Savannah is great for all you Southern students. Steeped in history and boasting the most attractive locals this side of the Mississippi, it is not to be missed.
Or maybe you want to take your long weekend in another country? Toronto could be the city for you. Oh, and the legal drinking age is 19…bonus!
[When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it), and 2. A major lack of storage space. For these two reasons, maximizing what you already own becomes essential. That's why you need to learn to Shop Your Closet. Each week, I’ll show you how to wear 1 item 3 ways – with the stuff you most likely already own! – to get the most out of your purchases.]
This week I’ve decided to choose a fall trend that you may not already own but totally, totally should: the leather skirt. Stay with me, K?
The leather skirt is super versatile and can be worn with a wide variety of items for many different occasions. Though this item may seem tricky to incorporate into your wardrobe, it’s a challenge everyone should take on. Especially because it’s possible to build outfits around a leather skirt with stuff you’ve already got lying around (because lord knows you haven’t had time to hang anything up since midterms started….). And since the leather skirt is so popular right now, everyone from uber expensive Michael Kors to budget friendly Forever 21 has a version to try.
So try it! And then try one of these looks: Read More »
