I know the ‘Gossip Girl’ writers are just trying to stir the pot, but can we give Jenny one personality and stick with it, please? I’m getting winded just trying to keep up. It’s like The United States of Tara up in here, or something. If they want some drama, break up boring Serena and Nate. Yes, they do have the hottest, steamiest, sexiest sex scenes on the show…..

So, your Jewish friend invited you home for his/her Passover Seder. “Free meal!” you think to yourself.
But what is a Seder? And what exactly will you be eating? Who’s gonna be there? Do you get to eat Challah? Do you have to be able to pronounce it?

If I had to choose who I’d want to win in a boxing match between Jenny Humphrey and Jack Bass, I honestly don’t think I’d be able to it. That would be like asking me to choose between rolling around naked with Joel McHale for an hour or getting 24 hours to eat as much Costco cake as I want without having to count the calories.

Sometimes being a girl sucks. High heels hurt, cramps hurt, bikini waxes hurt (like a bitch), hell, even skinny jeans hurt. But all that is worth it for one simple reason: free drinks.

Everyone knows Gossip Girl is not real. Unlike “The Hills” and “The City,” who try to play themselves off as reality, Gossip Girl is simply a scripted indulgence with a little over-the-top drama peppered in…every 5 seconds. Still, though, sometimes I’d like to think that this show, my guiltiest of guilty pleasures, maintains some semblance of what life is really like on the UES of NYC.

After devoting two full hours to shopping for me, my mother insisted on doing a little shopping for herself. I was tired from lugging all my new goods around the mall and cranky (because the line at Auntie Anne’s was too long), but I begrudgingly agreed to accompany her to JC Penney for some sheets.

Yesterday was a good day. I had a really tasty muffin for breakfast, my mom took me on a mini shopping spree (where I finally saw Lauren Conrad’s line for Kohls in person – not great, but it did have a few really cute pieces thrown in amongst the crap), and then I returned home just in time to watch the return of Gossip Girl (and fast forward through all of the commercials)!

I planned my entire Monday around the season finale of The Bachelor. I checked and re-checked my DVR three times before leaving the house for my 6pm hair appointment. I picked up dinner, cupcakes and a bottle of wine on my way home. Knowing that I would be starting the show late (I had to wait for my friend to finish class), I kept my computer and cellphone off out of fear that someone might spoil the ending for me before I got to watch it for myself.

It’s here. My final sober weekend. Even though this month has flown by and been not only easy, but totally productive, I am at the point where I am truly glad it’s over. For the most part, going stone cold sober hasn’t really been as challenging as I expected it to be. But that all changed on Wednesday. I don’t know if it was the playlist was I listening to or the stress mounting, but I hit a wall and for the first time in 25 days, all I wanted was a giant cocktail.

Spring Break is nearly here and for many of you that means your first ever real College Spring Break: the beach, the drinks, the bikinis, the (lots and lots of ) partying. I bet you can already taste the salt on your margarita. But before you pack those bags and head off for “the most epic vacation, EVER!!”, there’s a few things you should know.
