As you may have been able to tell from my first couple posts on UNW, I am very (perhaps excessively) interested in dating, relationships, and the general dynamics between the sexes. Having studied social science in college and grad school, I find few things more intriguing than the theories that govern human behavior. Plus, everyone [...]

So, apparently spare time and me are not the best of friends at the moment.
As such, I leave you with a question to ponder…
If you could send a slip of paper back in time to your 16 year old self with one bit of advice or wisdom, what would it be?

Glamour does a series in their magazine every month about living your best life. In the column, there is a page listing things that women should not feel guilty about doing, because, hey, we all do them. Some examples are: “It’s OK if you eat a whole bag of doritos right before your period and then hide [...]

I posted this last week on my blog, but it seemed to fit pretty well with the theme here, so I decided to do a little double dipping.

I have a bit of a secret– I’ve never really dated.
As I’ve remarked before, my adult dating history has been marked primarily by either being in a relationship, [...]

So this week has been ridiculous. Not, “feather boa wearing, ‘oh look I found $100!’, rainbows everyday” sort of ridiculous, it’s been more like “sweet baby J, someone just kill me now so the misery ends“. See the difference?
I have to admit, I wasn’t feeling that inspired to write anything other than ” WHY IS [...]

So we all know that it can be hard to meet that Mr. or Mrs. Right. And it’s also no secret that all of us here love the good old internet. So really, it was only a matter of time before the two ideas merged and people began searching for their special someone on the [...]

Most people grow more reflective in the beginning of the year. January 1 is the time for resolutions, for looking back and thinking ahead. I seldom make resolutions on New Year’s Eve, but instead reserve most of the deep thoughts and contemplation for January 10, which this year, happens to be my twenty-fifth birthday. Despite [...]

I wrote this last year but I feel like I need to share this again with Halloween fast approaching. Please read it. Together we can de-skankify this glorious holiday.
Dear Everyone who is planning on dressing up for Halloween this year,
Let me preface this by saying I love Halloween. I do. I think it’s my theater [...]

Just a few words from me today, as I’m beginning my cross-country journey this afternoon. I haven’t quite finished my packing.
I want to give you all some advice. This is monumental advice. Please listen carefully. Ready?
Take. LOTS. Of. Pictures.
You’re only in your twenties for ten years! For most people, it will be the most adventurous [...]

At the ripe, wondrous age of 22, I am still pretty new to this being 20something thing. I’m still learning what to do, what not to do, how to be an adult… I’m definately not an expert on the topic. But in my very first post on this new group blog, I will share with [...]

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by our very new and exciting group blog!
Brief introductions may be in order. My blogger moniker is Princess Pointful, which is also known as the most embarrassing name ever to have to introduce yourself as in real life. I’m 26 years old, which I am frightened may make [...]
