You Can Now Get Fired For Being “Irresistible”
Yup, that’s correct. In Iowa, you can actually get fired if your boss finds you irresistible. Sounds crazy, right? But it’s THE LAW.
Tuffy Luv Sez Kick Senioritis to the Curb
What can I do to be more motivated and inspired with my studies? I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried changing study habits, planning things out, and I’ve even tried to surround myself with people who have high work ethic and an energetic drive about school.

Communication Mediums Ranked: From Face Time To Pokes
As someone who spends her days studying communciations, I’ve spent a lot of time contemplating the ways we get in touch with one another. It used to be simple. A phone call here, meeting for coffee there. Maybe an e-mail or an AIM chat if you were feeling adventurous.
Warm Weather Work Wear [CC Lookbook]
Finding outfits that look professional but can still beat the summer heat can seem like a daunting task.
Sex in the News: Empathy For Your Fellow Coworker
According to a new study published in Sex Roles, if your coworker is the same sex as you and being treated poorly, it’s likely to have an affect on you. For example, if you worked with other women and your boss treated them rudely, it would be apt to make you feel more anxious or upset than if you were a man. Now how’s that for female solidarity?
This Post Grad Life: I Talk About This Stuff?
I’ve noticed a huge shift in my conversations lately. They’re like, slightly grown up. Flash Notice: I still talk about sex, flatulence, snot and totally gross 5-year-old boy things – just bare with me while I try to sound cool and old. Here are the top five new things I’m chatting about these days (that I’m not quite used to yet)…
The Post-Grad Journey: Can We Get Our Own Reality Show?
Everyone has a story. And while my post-grad journey has so far revolved around moving to California, interning, working odd jobs here and there, and studying for the LSAT to attend law school next year, I know that my story isn’t a typical after-college route.

The History of Women in the Workplace [Infographic]
For years, women’s participation in the United States workforce was greatly limited. However, throughout the country’s history, women have made great strides toward equality in the workforce. We even get to run blogs!
CollegeCandy’s Guide to On-Campus Jobs
Going to college is so much more than hauling your butt out of bed before noon on a Friday to sit in the back of a lecture hall and attempt the daily Sudoku. In order to even be considered for a job in this economy, students are expected to pull great grades, take on multiple leadership roles on campus and still manage to avoid going completely broke (not to mention swing awesome summer internships).
The Weekly Ten: The Jobs That Deserve This Labor Day
This week I’ve decided to list the 10 jobs that totally deserve to sleep in past noon this Monday, Labor Day. Why is it even called Labor Day? Shouldn’t it be Not-Labor Day? But I digress. Some people deserve a break for all they do/deal with on a daily basis. I don’t have the power to give it to them, but maybe they’ll note my appreciation and hook me up in the future.
Glamour Says The Darndest Things: September Edition
Ok, wow – the September issue of Glamour is so thick and heavy I want to beat Spencer Pratt over the head with it whenever he tries to find enlightenment and become a better person by wearing tie-dye and rubbing his face with crystals. It’s stock full of over 400 (!!) pages and it’s the biggest issue in 20 years.
Intern Diaries: Mixing Work with Play
A few weeks ago, when my alarm went off at 6:30 in the morning (after hitting snooze at least four times), I rolled out of bed feeling like the very definition of a hot mess. My hair was stuck to my cheek, I reeked of alcohol, and my head was pounding. I stumbled into the bathroom, convinced I was still a little drunk, looked in the mirror, and thought about the 12-hour day I had ahead of me.
Would You Rather…
Would You Rather have an unpaid summer internship with a boss like Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada or a summer job making bank as a nanny for the brattiest group of triplets you can imagine?
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Awkward Work Moments
This past Halloween my friends and I decided to put on our costumes early and head over to a bar to watch some college football. Fast forward to 3pm: I’m drunk, dressed up as Rainbow Bright and smoking cigarettes on the street while my male friend jokingly shoved his hand up my skirt. Nothing too out of the ordinary…until a business associate happened to walk by. And recognize me.
Intern Diaries: Stop Treating Me Like Crap!
Everyone knows that one of the worst things about being an intern is actually telling people you’re an intern. I can deal with getting coffee, fetching elaborate lunches in the rain, sending out mail and transcribing interviews for hours, all in the name of trying to get a job. I cannot, however, deal with being treated like sh*t just because some people choose to view me as just the bottom of the job food chain and nothing more than that.
Duke It Out: Internships
The last few months a bunch of people (mostly employed people who don’t actually have a stake in the matter, I must note. *Suck it, employed people!*) have made a big deal out of internships – Are they fair? Are they worth it? Are they even legal?
