    Study Shows Men are Still Out-earning Women

    It’s 2011, right? Um, so can anyone tell me why women are STILL getting paid less than men for equal work? Because, as a newly minted college grad looking to jump start my career (and pay off my loans), I’d really like to know.

    Weekly Wrap Up: Approach Me!

    Thanks to this whole 5-day dating challenge, I’ve had a pretty tiring week….and my still cheeks hurt from smiling all the time. But no pain no gain, right? And by “gain” I mean “guys approaching me and offering to buy me drinks.”
