When I’m surfing the web for cool and interesting sites to write about for this column, every so often I’ll come across a site so brilliant, it makes me exclaim out loud, “Yes! I need this!”

PayDivvy is one of those sites.

The founder of PayDivvy grew weary of his roommates constantly owing him money, so he came up with the website as a solution. PayDivvy allows you to manage, pay and split all your bills. It works with all your personal bills (like your credit card or student loan payment) as well as group bills (like utilities split between roommates). Read More »

My friends tell me I’m unreasonable when I explain my 6’2” dating cut off. They get all in a fuss telling me that’s ridiculous and that men don’t have to be the perfect height anymore. Of course my rule is not actually that rigid, but I like tall guys. So what?

More and more people are shattering the perception that the man has to be just a bit taller with your highest Louboutins on. It seems that in the in sea of douches, players and eligible-but-taken bachelors, women are more than happy to date shorter or wayyy taller men (as there are clearly more important characteristics to be concerned about).

As long as you click and are attracted to the man, height should be irrelevant. But I intend to stick to my rule…for the time being anyway.

Check out these celebrity couples who have big height disparities.

The cutest freakin’ love story you’ve seen since The Notebook.

My favorite holiday of the summer, the 4th of July, is just a few days away, which means a fun weekend full of spending time with friends and family and celebrating America’s Independence! And, since the 4th falls on a Monday, I’m also pretty excited about having an extra day off and the 3-day weekend!

Whether you’ll be spending your long weekend at the beach, a pool party, a family barbecue or partying with friends, I’ve got the perfect outfit for you! Show off your patriotic spirit in any of these cute outfits, all of which are less than $20!

I stumbled upon this article in which a financial analyst says that college is not worth it because in our economy even a bachelor’s degree doesn’t guarantee a job. He claims “undergraduate education is primarily a four year vacation interrupted by periodic bouts of cramming or Google plagiarizing.”

I have all sorts of problems with this.

First off, I don’t know where he went to school but reducing our education to cramming and plagiarizing is more than a bit much. In college I’ve learned how to write, ask questions and research. I’ve been introduced to a variety of different literature, math problems and social issues. Without college I’d be woefully unaware of the world around me.

He continues to argue that a skill-based curriculum is the answer. Yes, that might prepare college students for particular jobs in engineering or statistics, but ultimately this would do a disservice to us. To me, college is about broadening your academic perspective. I would hope that curricula develop our ability to learn and introduce us to new courses that we might not have ordinarily taken, art history, economics, or a foreign language for example. In my opinion we shouldn’t forget about the humanities merely because they don’t directly prepare us for particular jobs. Believe it or not, there is still something to be said for students who are actually knowledgeable about history and philosophy…

Sweet Sixteen. Even though it seems like a decade ago, I can remember mine fondly. To celebrate the big day, I took a weekend trip with eight of my closest girlfriends (and my mom). The ten of us spent the weekend shopping around town, pigging out on calorie-filled treats, jumping on hotel beds, and playing Twister in the elevator. It was a time of pure innocent fun. We weren’t thinking about job applications or the divorce rate. We were careless, young, and free. It was a perfect time to be sixteen. Read More »

Question?! Answer: Ask Tuffy Luv.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

I have been in a long distance (400 miles) relationship for almost 3 years, as you can imagine, everthing started off all pretty and perfect but a lot has changed over these years.

My boyfriend is the ‘Mummy’s boy’ type – the type that will start an argument if he doesn’t get his own way. It all started in Fall 2009 – things hadn’t been great between us, he broke up with me when I was on an important placement, then a week later started a relationship with a girl from his school (I had always suspected he was starting to like her.)

I tried to cut him out of my life – delete number, email, Facebook, blah blah blah. But he kept contacting me saying that he still loved me and regretted breaking up with me. In November 2009 we got back together, and everything was blissful again… or so I thought. He had told me that he regretted breaking up with me/didn’t know why he done it and that it was a rebound. The girl he broke up with me for told me that my boyfriend was sneaky and a liar (at first I didn’t believe it, but now I am starting to wonder whether she was right.) Read More »

Last week, my male friend over at COED Magazine shared his thoughts on how we ladies handle life after a break up. And let me just say, I haven’t LOLed that hard since the first time I watched this. (OMG. Just watched it again. HILARIOUS.)

It’s just so amusing to think about how little guys know about us (Note: I’m sure it was just as ROTFL-worthy for Paul when he read my thoughts on guys after a break-up); how they think we just bounce right back, better than ever, immediately following “the talk.” I mean, that’s not a bad thing. Their assumptions are way less disturbing (and pathetic) than the reality for most of us.

A reality which I’m about to lay out, in all it’s honest glory.

So let’s break down some walls and let it all hang out:

The Jersey Shore producers are headin’ to dixieland. But before you southern gals get your perfect panties in a bunch, don’t worry Snookie and The Situation aren’t rolling to town. Instead, it will be a whole new cast of southern belles and gents aiming to get famous off of drunken (but oh-so-classy, we are in the south, after all) shenanigans. So get out your finest Lilly dress and matching hair bow, casting begins this summer and producers are on the hunt for the proudest southerners who want to “Party their asses off on the sickest reality show during one big Crawfish peelin’, Poboy eatin’, Bourgbon drinkin’, Dixie lovin’ bayou summer.” …I wish I even knew what that meant.

Naturally, I’ll be tuning in whenever this show airs. I am not ashamed to admit I have a soft spot for southern men (and that sexy accent). However, I know this is likely to piss a lot of people off and play up some serious stereotypes. Here are the groups that I think are at risk. Read More »
