Tuffy Luv Sez: Good Girl
My mother is having a serious anxiety problem. I left for college in September and she’s still not over it. She calls me every single day and wants to talk about every single thing. I can’t take it. This is why I went away to school, so she couldn’t bother me all the time. I love her and we get along but I think it’s because she’s really lonely.

The CC Weekly Weigh In: Lessons From Mom
The best teachers in life are mothers. They guide us, show us, and enlighten us from the moment we are born. I know my mom has taught me a lot. She taught me how to parallel park, she taught me how to put on pantyhose without tearing them, and she showed me how to take on a lot and handle it all with poise. Most importantly, she taught me how to get my dad to do what I wanted while making him believe he came up with the idea himself. Priceless.
Coupled. In Church
In the few weeks before I moved away for college 3 years ago, I remember being over at a friend’s house when the topic of religion in college was brought up by her mom. She was a big supporter of being active in a church at school, arguing that it was the best place to meet like-minded people. “If you find someone in college that you fall in love with, it’ll be a heck of a lot easier if they’re the same religion as you.”
Sick Day, Then and Now
It’s a hard knock life, being ill. Especially at the age of 21, while attending college where you are hardly ever alone, and (I am convinced) the terms ‘Sunday Funday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’ were invented. It’s not like it used to be, back in elementary school, when you’d fake a cough just to stay home and enjoy that coveted sick day. Now, well, I really miss thosesick days…
Overheard: Slim Pickings
(Girl, complaining in the student union lounge.) Girl: I used to like Gaga, you know, back when I thought she was a hermaphrodite. Like, I’d watch her, and I’d be like “yeah, this is good, I like this,” but I was always on my toes. Because you never know when something might just – pop out! It was exciting.
Coupled. The Go-To Gal
As I said last week, when I’m with my friends I tend to feel like the mom of the group. Well, I’ve recently discovered that there are some perks to being the momma of the group and the only girl in my group in a long term relationship. I’ve become the one that everyone else comes to for advice or when they have an awkward relationship/sex questions.

The Best Thing My Mother Ever Gave Me
My mom does a lot of really annoying things: She calls me really early in the morning, or really late at night. To talk about reality TV shows. Whenever I’m on the phone with her, she hangs up abruptly to get another call…without saying goodbye. She pees with the door open in the powder room on the main floor of our house.
