    If You Love Someone, Don’t Let Yourself Go [He Said/She Said]

    You might not like what I’ve got to say. This week, we’re talking about “being yourself” in a relationship. As in your real self. As in, the one who doesn’t roll out of bed looking perfect, the one who loves watching ‘My Strange Addiction’, yes, even the one who will happily finish an entire pizza all by herself.

    Friday Faves: What Does “Love” Even Mean These Days?

    I am in the most amazing, secure and satisfying relationship I have ever been in but there is just one so-called “problem”; after nearly a year and a half, neither of us have said, “I love you.”

    He Said/She Said: The 6 Little Things He Can Do That Go a Long Way

    When I dream about my perfect relationship, it always looks the same. My boyfriend is a Jewish Bradley Cooper look-alike with that sexy shaggy hair and the perfect blend of intelligence and wit. He’s constantly surprising me with over-the-top romantic gestures, from randomly bringing me chocolate chip granola pancakes in bed (“just because I love you”), to showing up at my house in the middle of the day because he “just had to see me.”

    Sexy Time: Are you Sexually Incompatible or Is It Just a Rut?

    The thing with sex is that you can’t always tell when it’s just a rut or when you’re sexually incompatible. I mean, at first glance they both look similar — lack of sex, frustration, etc. — but there are a few differences.

    Ask a Dude: Why Did My LDR End When We Were Finally Together?

    Dear Dude, My long distance 3-year boyfriend broke up with me 3 weeks ago. We became really close and honestly the relationship was really easy. He never cheated and he always called and texted. And I thought waiting for him to come home was right. Yet, 3 years later, we are both 10 min away from each other and he decided to break up with me 7 days before V-Day.

    It’s Time to Amp Up Your Sexual Resume

    I think too much. And when it comes to turning over the sheets, my mind goes into over-drive. In fact, I have been known to ruin an entire sexual experience by thinking too much about the position I’m in – my physical movements, how big my thighs look, trying to read his thoughts like an Edward Cullen girl hybrid.

    Ask a Dude: Should I Wait Around for My Ex?

    Hey Dude, I just broke up with my boyfriend of more than 6 months (who keeps count these days anyway?), and it’s been a rough time. Mostly, I think, neither one of us wanted to break up but we had been growing apart for sometime. New changes in his life prompted him to cut the cord, and we went our separate ways…kind of

    One Month Challenge: Junk Food Free, Week 3

    I ate mozzarella sticks. And I’m not ashamed. Not much has changed since my tough week last week. I’m still adjusting to the single life, which I love more and more every day. The nausea is the only thing that has really persisted, which means that I will unfortunately probably have to see a doctor just to make sure that nothing is medically wrong with me.

    I’m gonna make a bold statement here: Role playing is ESSENTIAL in any long-term, monogamous relationship. And it’s just plain fun in any other situation.

    One Month Challenge: Junk Food Free, Week 2

    I had a vision in my head for how this month would go. I would give up junk food, be healthier, maybe slip up once or twice, but succeed overall. I would end the month being skinny, beautiful, and confident. My life situation would remain the same; it would be ME that changed.

  • Single. And Confused.

    Single. And Confused.

    I honestly don’t think that I will ever understand boys. Okay so, remember that awesome boy who I contemplated asking out? Well, let’s face it, I had pretty much given up on him. I hadn’t run into him around campus, and I’ve been so busy with the craziness of school starting that I hadn’t even thought of him for a few weeks.

    Single. And Not Wasting Anyone’s Time

    I am SO lucky to have a really close knit group of girlfriends here at Loyola. It’s extremely rare that there is ever any kind of tension between us, but one particular topic has continually been a source of conflict between all of our girls. As you might have guessed, the issue revolves around boys. Or to be more specific, one boy.
