Ask A Roommate: Bringing the Bar Home
What happens when you prefer to keep your room alcohol-free and your roommate wants to turn it into a college bar at happy hour? Or vice versa. The fact that there’s a clear-cut “right” answer to this dilemma doesn’t make it any easier to solve. You shouldn’t have booze in your room, we all know that. But one of you really, really want to just mix up a rum and coke while you straighten your hair Friday night.
Nice Guys are Douchebags Too
We’ve all met them. Guys who appear to be nice, wholesome, respectful-of-women types, and then they do something awful. Maybe it’s a guy you were BFF with and totally adored, but he friend-zoned you and told you he wasn’t looking for a relationship, but then was dating a super hot girl two weeks later.

He Said/She Said: The Best and Worst Words for Sex
We speakers of English have a great talent for euphemism. I admire that; although our language is comparatively un-poetic, English speakers have nevertheless coined a great deal of terms in order to discuss social taboos. But, even in the post-sexual revolution, post-feminist, post-modern world, I think we are yet to adopt a suitable phrase for ‘having sex’.
Are Creative Types More Likely To Cheat?
The study claims that because creative people are so flexible in their minds and can generate ideas, they can justify cheating through “self-serving rationalizations,” which means they don’t cheat so severely to the point where they feel bad about it.
Ask A Dude: How Can I Convince My Boyfriend To Let My Ex Move In?
I have an awkward situation. I’m in a relationship with a guy I really like. However, he has never been comfortable about the amount of time I spend with one of my guy friends (let’s call him Brian). Brian and I were friends with benefits for awhile in college and are still good friends, although we never hook up anymore.

This Post Grad Life: Growing Apart
Lately, I’ve been noticing something about these happy hours. I jump on them with all of my friends. New friends, old friends, friends from college, friends from high school, friends from work…and I realized something. My friend groups are slowly growing apart.
10 Men We Think Fathered the New Kardashian Baby
Whilst most people don’t love baby Mason like I do (hello, he’s the most well dressed baby to date! Take that Suri!), the idea of another Kardashian and another Disick on this earth makes even the bravest [wo]men sigh in irritation. Well turn that frown upside down. We here at CC have reason to believe Disick isn’t the dad! Who are our sources, you ask? Mind your own business, we answer.
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Ashley Greene is Cute and Classic
After exercising regularly and eating moderately healthy for a couple of months, I went home and proceeded to gorge myself for approximately four days straight. The end result – a food baby. So while usually I’m all about sleek, bodycon ensembles, this week, I wanted to find a fashionable but forgiving ensemble, and luckily, the lovely Ashley Greene (the best Cullen?) delivered.
Reality Stars We Hate to Admit We Love
There are some reality stars that I am a little ashamed to admit that I love. I’m not talking about Spencer and Heidi or Omarosa; I actually do hate them. These are stars that I really love, but would probably lie about any day of the week (except the days I’m given a lie detector test).
25 Reasons To Love Winter [Photos]
Winter gets a bad rap. Granted it does have its flaws: blizzards, Uggs, perpetual runny noses, and pale skin complexions. These negatives aside, there are so many wonderful wonders to winter: pets in sweaters, hot chocolate, Christmas trees, Hanukah bushes, and many, many other holiday treats!
