Perhaps it’s the sheer volume of people on one concrete island, or that the people are actually more attractive and put-together. Maybe more of the residents are chemically altered more often throughout the day here. Whichever the case may be, New Yorkers are not at all shy about their catcalls, or “hollas,” if you will.

Granted, I’m from the Midwest. I completely missed out on this whole experience during my teen years. Back home, it’s mostly the sketchy old men in bars hitting on you, or, once you’ve ventured to the undergrad lifestyle, the halfway-to-blackout frat boys who think perhaps their forwardness will reward them with a piece of ass. Too often, ladies, we have caved, be it for lack of self-respect or just for fun. Hey, I’m not judging. Sometimes you just need to hook up.

Some women have never learned how to take a compliment or think anything positive about themselves, I beg those women to come to New York. It’s guarantee that of the eight million people, someone finds you attractive. Read More »

Most of the summer before my freshman year of college was spent daydreaming about the tall, brutally hot, fun boyfriend I thought I was destined to meet come September.

Dances, frat parties, football games, Spring Break: all fun college activities made that much better with the help of our dear friend, Alcohol.And what’s worse than lugging a huge bottle of liquor or a twelve pack of beer? Well, nothing — besides being sober.

I promise, I’m not an alcoholic. But we, as college students, just tend to drink…all the time…for every occasion…or no occasion at all.

Which is why this new product could be one of the most ingenious inventions ever. The Pocket Shot, a $2 shot of liquor in a squish-able, squeezable, travel-able, easy to use package.

I’m sure at one point in time, we have all uttered the phrase, “the guys here suck”, referring to the subpar selection at our select universities. Somehow, guys must universally “suck” because I’ve heard different complaints from numerous friends at colleges across the country. “They’re all just meathead frat boys” or “they’re too into themselves” or my personal favorite, “they’re all really short”.

One sorority at Columbia University decided to be proactive and take matters into their own hands with man-hunting. They gathered to hear speaker, Janis Spindel, author of 365 Proven Ways to Find Love in Less Than a Year give her advice on how to find the right guy. According to the Columbia Spectator, Spindel came to provide them with the secrets to finding handsome and successful men in New York-and, more importantly, how to marry them.
