The BF left for a 2 week work trip to Germany (so jealous, but thats a whole different story), so I'm home alone and ordered a ton of thai food, but ended up eating too many fried appetizers and mediocre pad thai, fueled by a little too much white wine. Blowing off a new friend's housewarming party to stay home,…

Not_so_fast is right on track. This is a completely normal feeling and those of us who had jobs lined up for immediately after school are wishing that they had taken some time to travel, explore, and just discover themselves at a more leisurely pace. Just focus on enjoying your last year of college, and you have…

You're definitely not alone. I just started grad school too and I'm starting to seriously feel the pressure. I'm taking 5 classes, working part-time, plus there have been a lot of Jewish holidays lately, so I have less days to actually get my work done. I've found that making new lists every day, and literally…

LOVE!

This is a very fitting post because after years of taking the Pill and being unsatisfied, I'm getting my Paragard inserted today. Definitely nervous about the pain/side effects, but hoping that this works for me (fewer migraines! no low libido! no weight gain!). Wish me luck!

Truck broke down, so they won't be here till tomorrow late morning. The whole night to myself, which means, I'm adding some potstickers, and ice cream to the mix (that counts as dinner, right?). And going to sleep early, without being ridiculed by the BF.

Waiting for my future in-laws to bring furniture and my new dog (they're stuck and won't be here for hours and of course, my BF is away at a conference so...). Anyway, I'm chilling with some good wine, cookies, Project Runway, and ANTM. What's everyone else up to?

This was beautiful. I actually had tears in my eyes. If only more children were exposed to the type of programming he created and promoted. His show was certainly one of the highlights of my childhood.

I also started getting into Fitocracy because I read about it here. I like it a lot. It motivates me to stick to my workouts, plus I can post my feelings about my fitness level, weight, eating habits, and get feedback without annoying all my Facebook/Twitter friends who don't give a crap.

It's all about the choline! That shit is magical and you can really only get it in the yolks.

Just look for anything without triclosan, which is the "anti-bacterial" key ingredient.

I think this nail art trend is cool, but honestly, I don't have the energy to spend more than 20 minutes painting my nails.

I also, thought, could it really be worse than the Housewives' songs? But oh, dear god, it is!!!

Great advice. I'd love to read your blog! Can't wait to check it out. Will def send along mine when I get it up and running.

Definitely wise words. I will take them into consideration for sure.

So, I think I'm going to start a blog about my life, grad school, living in a new city, trying to actually decorate my apartment, etc. I know that the "surviving my 20s" is kind of "done" but I care more about using it as catharsis, and a way to stay in touch with friends, rather than something to entertain the…

Exact same reaction!!

Until our new plans kick-in, where/how is the best place to get cheap (or free!) birth control?

Thank you! This is great. I think that it will get easier once I have more experience dealing with all these things, because so true, right now I just hope that I make it work and can feed myself. I guess I'm simultaneously afraid that I'm not enjoying my mid-20's enough and that I'm also not responsible enough. It's…

I really like Songza. There are a bunch of playlist options that are suited to working/studying, either with lyrics or without.
