From our friend groups to what we did in our free time, a lot of us made some questionable at best decisions in high school.

On Self-Judgment and What You Really Want [Dear DBN]
We are our own harshest critics, judging ourselves for harmless actions and run-of-the-mill human emotions. This week, ease off on the self-judgment and give yourself the room to think about what you really want, and then act on it.

No Texting, No Exceptions: Week Two [One Month Challenge]
It’s interesting what you’re willing to share when there won’t be a record of it. I called a boy, and I told him he hurt me. I told him he embarrassed me, he made a fool out of me.
No Texting, No Exceptions: Week One [One Month Challenge]
On December 1, I swore off texting. I figured giving up texting meant I would spend more time on the phone. What it actually did was make me crafty.

No Texting, No Exceptions! [One Month Challenge]
So there’s this guy. (Isn’t there always?) The last thing he texted me was some inside joke about avocados. I fell asleep before I texted back. That was pre-Thanksgiving. And now I’m left wondering the obvious - what the hell do I text back to avocados two weeks after I fell asleep?
Want A Better Sex Life? Speak Up!
My inner monologue is usually along the lines of, "What...are...you...doing? I'm not a jack hammer. Stop that. Ew. That was a weird noise..etc."
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.

Chemistry Is Overrated [Sexy Time]
Sometimes it's purely physical, sometimes it's deeply emotional, and sometimes it's just a sense of warmth and amorphous attraction. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with craving sparks, but I think a little too much significance is placed on chemistry.

Sexy Time: Entering the Booty Parlor with Dana B. Myers [INTERVIEW]
Booty Parlor is a line of products that were created with women's sexuality in mind, whether she's single or in a relationship. It is a brand that encourages women to indulge in their sexiness, free of shame or self-consciousness.
Sexy Time: Selflessness Is Overrated
I know, giving is just as important as receiving. Sex is about all parties involved, and I absolutely believe that no one should feel deprived of pleasure after a hook up. But everyone has their limits, their deal breakers, their things that they're just not that into.
How To Communicate Without Your Phone
In light of the recent Blackberry outages, which just so happened to coincide with the day before the iPhone 4S was released (conspiracy alert!), it's come to our attention that we are obsessed with our phones. We can't go five minutes without checking our phones to see if we have texts, emails, tweets, or Facebook messages.
Sexy Time: 5 Things That Shouldn't Happen In The Bedroom
I usually make a conscious effort to keep this column as sex-positive and judgment-free as positive. There's already enough negativity and unnecessary stigma surrounding sex, and I try not to perpetuate it. That said, some things that may happen are a little uncool. There's just no way to sugarcoat it.
A Few Reasons Why He Won't Call You Back
It's happened to the best of us. We go on two or three seemingly perfect dates with the guy we've been obsessing over for the longest time, and then...nothing. No phone call, no texts, no anything! All communication ceases, and we're left wondering what the hell happened?
