Agreed— she was a really boring guest. Every guest on that show gets hard questions and there is a way to answer them diplomatically. Surely she had to know she would be asked about Kanye/Kardashians before she agreed to be WWHL. Is it so hard to come up with a simple nice thing to say about them? (“Khloe has a good

The Trump campaign did not denounce the event but confirmed that the man dragging and kicking Rojas had no official affiliation with the campaign.

Ahaha, nice on the Berthillon frequency! I had a similar phenomenon at a crepe stand down the street from my office. You’re more discreet than me— I just kept going! I think he ended up thinking I was trying to flirt with him (I was not).

Thank you for the encouragement and I’m glad to hear things worked out for your husband! It’s hard to strike a balance between being persistent and being annoying, but you’re absolutely right about following up. I hope your husband has a great time in the new job!

Ugh, I feel you on the seeing maybe one opening every month. It can get really discouraging.

I am not a researcher, but I did spend a summer in Paris in 2010. First, I am so completely jealous— you are going to have such a wonderful time! If you like gelato, there is a place in the Marais called Pozetto’s that is literally life changing. The gianduia torinese (I have no idea if that is spelled right) is

I interviewed for a job last week and I really really really want it. Contacted the recruiter and she said that they would invite people back by the end of the week (yesterday). I didn’t hear from her, and so I am nervous and anxious and sad. But I know that the school I went to is the highest ranked of all the people

You have already gotten a ton of comments on this, so I will chime in only to say that I also had anxiety and also went to law school (just graduated!) and I had so many moments like the one you described. My 1L year was an extended master class in dealing with humiliation. It is rough, and one of my major regrets of

Yep— right there with ya. A good friend of mine got married 2 years ago and I felt that way at the time. I was even dating someone then! Now I am single and feel further away than ever before. It’ll happen, it just takes time.

I have heard soy is supposed to affect your period? Mine is really irregular, so don’t take this as definitive evidence, but soy usually delays my period by a few weeks. At the very least it might be worth googling.

Word on the weight loss. How is it more difficult to eat right and exercise when I have literally nothing else to do?

Checking in— unemployed soon to be admitted to the Bar lawyer here. Have no other marketable skills, and have been turned away from countless jobs either because 1) they don’t take entry-level associates or 2) I didn’t take the bar in that state. Oof this is rough. I would literally work for free just to get something

Yo, New York Jezzies: How did you manage to move into your apartments?

AHH I’M EXCITED TOO!!! What a game!

Haha, I dated a short guy and I was always a little uncomfortable around him but never had a good way to articulate it. “Moose” totally nails it.

Cool, thanks!

Investing—but hedge funds/real estate instead of securities. I think I would be doing due diligence and doc review and doing all the supporting tasks for a deal. So, it would not be terribly thrilling stuff (as with any entry-level job), but I am so ready to dive into work and start working my way up. Honestly, you

When I was 13 I became a vegetarian. I thought it would last for a few months tops, because I thought I needed meat (i.e. cheeseburgers). Eleven years later, I am still going strong. I found that it forced me to try things that I wouldn’t have otherwise. At that age I thought vegetables were gross and I would only eat

I wish I had advice on making friends in a new place— I am in the same boat. But congrats on the new job! I used to live close to Lexington and I think it is a very underrated area. Good luck and have fun getting to know the place!
