For the last few months, I’ve seen a pair of BRIGHT blue jeans staring at me through the window of Intermix on my walk to and from Starbucks, yoga, dinner, etc. Paired with what I can only imagine is a top that costs more than my rent, I keep thinking that they are pretty C to the U-T-E. I’m always tempted to go in and try them on, but just as I’m about to, my inner dialogue goes a little something like this:

“Of course they look cute on a tall and skinny mannequin. But you Jill, are not a tall and skinny mannequin. You, in those blue pants would look less like a mannequin and more like… a Smurf. And not one of those cute little Smurfs with their cute little legs and white little hats that a 3 year old would want to see in 3D but a Smurf with really big, bright blue thighs. But then again they are so cute. But is it silly to spend $150 on a pair of pants that may or may not make me look like a Smurf and may or may not be out of style in like 4 days?” Read More »

If you can’t afford to take your girl out, at least take her hiking (?) or something.

 Send flowers to a girl when you break up with her. JFK used to do that.

 Your girl is cheating on you. Yep, there are no more loyal women left in the world.

The most popular women on the web (according to Google).

 If your man suddenly takes an interest in professional soccer player, Hope Solo, here’s way.

 If you want to stay fly, you need to buy a shoe repair kit and buy your woman lots of jewelry.

Just in case Justin Bieber’s perfume-flavoured ice cream (a WTF in its own right) wasn’t enough, an artist from Connecticut decided the Canadian teen pop idol and his gf Selena Gomez needed a bronze statue. Oh, and he though they should also be nude, minus a maple leaf and a star giving a nod to Adam & Eve’s fig leaves.

Because apparently the maple leaf and the Texas lone star didn’t suffice as tributes to the hometown’s of the teen stars, the artist figured a Canadian goose defiling an armadillo would be a nice touch to the statue.

The best kind of a vagina is a happy vagina. That said, vaginas are very sensitive. And when something goes wrong, it’s hard to not feel self-conscious, or dirty, or just really unnerved. More than likely, if your vagina is a bit off, it’s due to an infection of some sort.

So we won’t beat around the bush and sugarcoat it — here are the five most common vaginal afflictions.

1. Yeast Infections

Causes: When new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area (like, say, whipped cream/chocolate during sex) or there is an imbalance of bad bacteria to good bacteria (after antibiotic usage).
Symptoms: Thick, white discharge that is similar in consistency to cottage cheese, itching, burning, vaginal soreness, pain during intercourse
Treatment: Antifungal medication, taken orally or via vaginal tablets or suppositories. There are prescription and over the counter options (like Monistat and Mycelex)
Prevention: Yeast overgrows when there’s a buildup of moisture, so wear breathable cotton undies. Avoid douches and scented pads/tampons (seriously, a vagina is a vagina. It’s not supposed to smell like roses.) Eating plain yogurt with active cultures has also been linked to avoiding yeast infections.

It’s weird when you think about it – the way a simple word can gross you out as much as watching those nasty surgery shows on TLC or stepping over fresh puke on your way to class on a Monday morning. But it happens. A lot. There are just some words that give us all the heebie-jeebies and after my mother used the word moist to describe how amazing her brownies were this morning, I decided 1) I’m too grossed out to eat a brownie right now and 2) it’s time to make a list of the words that make me feel icky, uncomfortable and downright dirty.

Yeah, I guess I’m a masochist.

Crusty: I know that crusty bread can be a good thing, but that’s usually not what I’m thinking about when I hear this word. Hard as I try (and trust me, I try!), I can’t get “crusty underpants” out of my head.

Panties: Ask me how many times I’ve uncomfortably giggled when the older, voluptuous lady at Victoria’s Secret offered to show me where the ’5 for $25′ panties were. Is it possible for a 20-year-old girl to feel like a dirty, old man at the mere mention of the word??

Kate Moss‘ wedding photos are now taking over newsfeeds and putting all other celebrity weddings to fashion shame. Even though weddings are far from most college students’ minds, with photos like these it’s hard not to have dreams of wedding bells. But we all need to get back to reality because no wedding will ever touch Kate Moss’ and wedding talk will have all college guys running for the hills — so here’s a dose of WTF celebrity wedding dresses to bring you back to Earth.

If you’ve lived in a dorm, chances are you’ve seen (and completely ignored) many-a-dorm hall board. That’s because normally they tell you things like what fast food places are the closest, which you could have learned by stepping out the door. However, there is some info that we KNOW our RAs have that could be super useful to those innocent and naive freshmen living on their halls. Unfortunately, RAs are supposed to be mature and trustworthy authority figures who only offer PG words of wisdom.

But, in an ideal world, here’s a few things we wish they could share.

1. Schedule of weekly drink specials at local bars. Makes it cheaper to accomplish what my friends and I like to call the Freshman Challenge–going downtown every single night of the week.

2. How to walk of shame…gracefully. Like, what shoes am I supposed to wear on the way home? Because these Gaga heels are not gonna cut it in the morning.

[This summer a dream internship with Lucky magazine moved me from Austin, Texas, where I’ve spent all 21 years of my life, to New York City for the summer. Come along for the ride and follow me through this column as I take on all that the city has in store for me. I’ll share tips I’ve picked up along the way about everything from how to pack (stop, drop and roll people!) to dating to fitting in (or standing out) and so much more.]

My summer in the city had officially come to an end and by the time you’re reading this, I will be back in my hometown, probably eating a home-cooked meal and driving my car with reckless abandon on the highway. (God, I missed driving.) Though I’m excited to be home, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of sadness as my cab led me out of the city, toward LaGuardia airport and toward life after New York.
