Goodbye Sex: The Pros and Cons

This semester break I have some company at my home – my boyfriend. Neither of us really wanted to be apart for the long 5 weeks of break. Well, that and he’s allergic to his mom’s cats. But he had to go home for a week to take care of a few things; he’s been gone for 4 days, gets back in 3.

This is really the first time I’ve been in a serious relationship, so it’s the first time …

5 Reasons Why I’m in Love With Watchmen

The first time I’d ever heard of Watchmen was when I went to see The Dark Knight. There was a trailer with an amazing Smashing Pumpkins song, and it looked pretty cool. The trailer mentioned something about being based off of a graphic novel, so when I got home I called the bf since he worked at a comic book store in high school. (Nerdcore, I love it.) He told me that it was really good, and since I’d never …

Awkward Firsts: Losing Your Virginity Isn’t Always Fun

Some women get to have the dreamy, stereotypical first time. The love of your life surprises you with a romantic evening alone and it ends up in the bedroom. He tells you he loves you and all that jazz.

Well, you know what? Some of us would like to forget our first time, and “some of us” includes me. I’m not saying I regret it, but I sure as heck wish I’d put more thought into it and had better …

Why I Hate Being a Silver Medal

When I say “silver medal”, I’m not talking about the Olympics or sports or anything like that. I’m talking about men. I know most girls hate being a guy’s first when the v-card cashing in isn’t mutual. But I think the worst is being a guy’s second.

My first experience being a silver medal was during freshman year. There was a guy I thought was cute and funny, and I had him in my room late one night watching all …

The Sophomore Slump

I thought, like most people, that I did well freshman year. I made it through, I managed to get decent grades, I didn’t fail or anything bad like that. So I went home pretty confidant that sophomore year would be the same…

Boy was I wrong.

I’ve been back for about 5 weeks, and I feel like my head is about to explode! My classes seem like they’re a million times harder than last year. Last year, 15 hours left …

Break Out the Pom Pons – Football Season is Upon Us

With football season off and running , I’m hoping everyone reading this is as excited as I am!

(Editor’s Note: Wooo! DE-FENCE! GO TEAM!!)

Call me a tomboy, but I love me some football. I personally blame my parents for being hardcore Packer fans, and the fact that I HAD to go to every football game in high school because I was on drumline. But I’ve come up with my favorite parts of football season that everyone – even if …

“Ummmm, is this the right place?”: Tips for Your First College Class

Ok, the first day of class is always a bit daunting. Everyone is looking at what you’re wearing, where you are sitting and if you have any breakfast stuck in your teeth.

It’s worse when it’s your first day of college: you’ve never stepped foot into these rooms before, your classes are ALL OVER THE PLACE, and there are so many upper classmen in there…staring at you (and the breakfast stuck in your teeth).

I could tell you it’s not …

Surviving College Without a Car

 

I go to a school of about 50,000 students, in a metropolitan area of approx. 1.6 million. It’d be a bit redundant to tell you that driving is an issue. A parking permit at my school alone will set you back $700. Plus, you have to move your car for all home sporting events and any other time the school says, “Hey, the space is ours, we’re taking it back.”

For everyone else out there who will be walking …

He’s My Best Friend. And We Hook Up.

Some relationships are hard to define. Some relationships are hard to fit into a category. Most are just flat out HARD! Which is why I decided to stay single. I don’t really have time for all the crap that comes with a boyfriend.

But what’s a girl to do about sex?!?!

I’ve done the one night stands….not fun. For me it just leads to awkwardness and, in some cases, physical pain. But somehow in the craziness that was my freshman …
