Whoa. Just watched the season finale of The Vampire Diaries. All I can say is WHOA.

Thoughts on living in an 8 x 9.5 foot room for a year in NYC? Trying to convince a potential roommate that this is too small and since Boy Gertrude is 6'4 and only a twin bed can actually fit into a room that size, we would never be able to share a bed.

Anyone have advice on how to find a subletter for a short period of time? I'm moving to NYC this summer with a friend, but her job starts a month ahead of mine and neither of us can afford to pay for the extra room for the extra month. It's also awkward because we haven't actually found our apartment yet (we're…

Jezzies- My boyfriend and I are making some big decisions together in preparation for post grad. I have a job in New York, he's still looking for one and is very depressed about not yet having any offers. The result of these two circumstances has been him showing outward signs of depression but also being super flaky…

Looks like the Descendants it is! I just re-watched the trailer for Extremely Long and Incredibly Boring and your renaming seemed incredibly appropriate.

Okay Jezzies, I can't decide what to rent from Itunes.

I'm actually graduating at the end of May but just interviewed for/accepted an offer for a paralegal program at a really large law firm in NYC. Not sure if your additional work experience will change the nature of your interview but here are some of the questions they asked me:

My group of friends and I have a theory that all men love her because she is blonde, white, and virginal. Basically the three pillars of a perfect socially constructed American womanhood. I personally hate her for her slut-shaming tactics and her constant benefit from an identity that has systematically obscured so…

A bath sounds amazing. Unfortunately I'm in housing that only has teeny showers. But you might be onto something with the idea of doing something productive that isn't my homework.

I'm currently have the annoying in-between feelings about going out tonight. I could stay in my room watch tv, pretend to do work and laze around like I have been doing all day or I could go out, get no work done, and feel hungover tomorrow. I need to commit to one of these things but I just caaaan't.

Just realized the big return I was expecting is nonexistent thanks to some shady business on the part of the university for one of my student work-study jobs. Am now quitting taxes and instead drinking to wash away all of the wonderful plans I made in my head for that money.

Wish me luck dear jezzies, I'm starting my taxes rightttttt now.

Luckily my school skips all three-day weekends during the school year in order to give us a two week spring break. So I'll be there for a while and the entire trip is about $1500. I haven't travelled anywhere outside of Europe and Central America, so I'm pretty excited. It's just going to take me a couple of weeks to…

Just paid for a spring break service trip to Vietnam which is awesome, but it completely DRAINED my bank account. So sad to see all of those savings go. So, so sad.

Actually love both of those vodkas. Guess that makes me the kind of person who attends parties with "Pimps N' Hoes" themes? Or just someone who doesn't like the taste of most throat burning alcohol and like sugary options instead. I'm trying really hard to not feel like Jezebel is hating on the demographic that these…

Just read it for a class, was a little unimpressed by her Skloot and her representation of the Lacks family, especially with regard to their religious beliefs. She was at times condescending and classist in her description of the family. However, if you're looking to gloss over some real issues with the narrative,…

Just so you know, it's kind of an unspoken rule that you don't post number stats about your weight here. It can be triggering or really offensive to some people, especially if you are saying something really negative about a certain weight. Maybe in the future you can consider a way of stating your point without…

I'm working on a syllabus for an undergraduate independent study project concerning depictions of black female sexuality in contemporary American literature. Anyone have recommendations for my reading list? Particularly books about black women that have appeared on the best sellers list in the last five years? They…

20 is not equal to 29. I was hoping to see him in the awkward years, but he was already at Harvard :(

This sounds delicious. I've never been a sprout-lover but that butter and garlic could change that.
