Classes begin today! Good luck finding all the buildings, listening to all the syllabi, and scoping out all the cuties (or not) in every class.

 

On a separate note, sorority rush starts today as well -- get ready to shmooze your asses off, girls!

Let’s start from where we left off yesterday: you’re about to approach That Girl, econ peer/hall-mate from freshman year, in CVS. You know that the conversation you’re about to have will inevitably be generic and awkward, but it’s also unavoidable. And so, as promised, here is a list of ways to conquer said run-in with speed, efficiency, and poi...

Although it’s exciting to be back at school seeing our friends and getting back into all our respective grooves, there’s one thing that absolutely no one wants to deal with: awkward conversations.

There are, of course, plenty of perks to going back to school: seeing our friends, going back in Philly, and being able to go to parties at bars rather than carpeted basements that smell like beer and fertilizer (for thos...

Flustered 40-something woman nearby: Me either!

This is a preemptive Goodbye for Eight Days post, seeing as Cabo San Lucas is calling my name. Don't miss me too much while I'm on blogging hiatus...if you get really bored, you can always Stumble! I'll return tan, rested, and full of more things to bitch about, I'm sure.
