Yes, I’m a Single Girl Who Likes Valentine’s Day
I like candy and I like writing cheesy valentines. I won’t be decked out in pink or ask for heart nail art on my mani, but you won’t find me crying in a bucket of ice cream to The Notebook either (but if you do any of those things that’s totally fine!).

When Did Racism Become Recreation?
It saddens me when I have to read about incidents such as the one that occurred at Duke by the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. The fraternity decided to host an Asian themed party, which was originally called Kappa Sigma Asia Prime.
A Valentine’s Day Card for “When You’re Kind of Together But It’s Not A Big Deal”
If I could boil down all my frustrations, my exasperated gchats with friends, my wine-fueled rants, my shower cry seshes into one Valentine’s Day card, this would be it. Since when did caring — and admitting to caring — about someone become such a taboo act?
The Highest Paying Undergraduate Major to Have Is…
When I was six years old my dream job was to be a cashier. I scanned those toy grocery items like my life depended on it. When I was 11, we went to the aquarium and I decided that I was going to be a marine biologist. Then high school came along and I realized I wasn’t that great at biology…goodbye killer whales and sea turtles.
Menswear Dog Is Your Dream Boyfriend, Best Tumblr of 2013
Wool herringbone blazer, Ben Sherman button up shirt, J. Crew belt, and a Ralph Lauren tie. Nope, these aren’t items in a stylish guy’s closet. It’s actually an outfit….for a dog! Seriously.
On the Job Hunt: Part 2 [Confessions of a Twenty-Something]
I was itching to get a job so that I could, y’know, make money to pay bills and buy things. I hear that’s why people get jobs anyway. You can only watch daytime TV for so long before you start talking to your TV and yelling at Maury to read the paternity results already!

10 Celebrities Who Aren’t Afraid to Use the F Word [Lady Bits]
I dare you to say it. The F word. Ok, I’ll go first. I’M A FEMINIST. Odd as it may seem that “feminist” is such a loaded label in 2013, the fact is that there are a lot of misconceptions out there about feminism.
I’m A College Student and *Gasp* a Republican…and It’s Actually Not Funny
I shouldn’t be nervous, or afraid of ridicule when telling someone my beliefs. I shouldn’t be the butt of a joke, and, frankly, I’m pretty tired of it. I accepted it during election season, and I accepted it with each gaffe made by former President George W. Bush. I’ll even accept the jokes made about Bachmann and Palin, but don’t turn me into a joke.
How Do I Tell My Friend Her BF Might Be Gay? [Ask A Dude]
Aside from being extremely flamboyant and touchy-feely with other men, she mentioned to me when she was drunk one night that they haven’t had sex in almost a year. I’m not really sure what I’m allowed to say in a scenario like this, and I have no evidence aside from my strong suspicions.
8 Things We Liked As Kids That Are Really Strange To Us Now

We’ll Get By With A Little Help From Our Friends [Confessions of a Twenty-Something]
While we all love our families, there are just some things that we can’t share with them in the same way we can with others. There are some thoughts and feelings and moments and stories that are saved for another special group of people—our friends. You might not live in the same state as your family. You may only see them on special occasions. That’s where your friends come in.
The 10 Commandments of Going Commando
Boys do it, babies do it, why can’t we do it to? Sometimes it’s just really necessary to give your lady parts a little freedom and save the cute panties for a coordinating-panties-and-bra-confidence-day. However, along with this sweet freedom comes danger.
Notable Women in Combat, from the Amazons to the U.S. Military [Lady Bits]
On January 24, outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially cleared female soldiers for ground combat, overturning a longstanding ban. Panetta has spent the last year consulting with top military officials, and his decision comes after years of debate about whether or not women are fit for combat.
The 6 Things We Don’t Miss About High School
High school is a very interesting time in a person’s life, even more so than college. I think what makes it so “interesting” is that we aren’t really adults yet, but we try to act like it. Our changing bodies and emotional states of mind certainly don’t add well to the mix, and only further contribute to our madness.
