Some of you may have noticed his comments on several recent posts, but the newest blogger to grace the pages of UNW is Kurt, a 25-year-old copywriter from New York. When he’s not busy writing ad and marketing copy by day, he will share with us the insights of a single guy living in the [...]

Hi folks! I’m actually on a long overdue vacation to sunny Cuba this week. Right now I’m probably passed out and sunburnt. However, I have a guest post from another member of the Princess family– the fabulous Frog Princess, who writes over at Out of the Frying Pan. She’s writing about something I know far [...]

Today we have a guest post by Scribbles from the blog of the same name. Enjoy! -Jess

So often when we’re saving towards bigger goals (and who isn’t, in their 20s?) we focus and save to the exclusion of everything else. Be it a flash new car, house downpayment, a destination wedding or even your very [...]

I don’t need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don’t need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don’t need a ring around my finger

Hello everyone! Here is another memorable (and anonymous) guest post that got sent to me. If you have a post that you would like to share, you can email me at brandyismagic@gmail.com.
I haven’t been happy with work for a little over a year now. The type of work I do is under appreciated, pushed aside [...]

Here’s a topic that affects many twenty-somethings that I know a lot about, both from personal experiences and by being my circle of friends’ therapist.
Friends With [...]

Hello, and thanks to all at Umm…Now What? (and you the reader!) for letting me guest post over here today. Let me introduce myself, i’m WeeH from over at Wee-Travellings.
Before we start, I better give you a bit of background. Just so you know where i’m coming from. I was going to write a flighty, [...]

This week’s guest post is brought you by S’mat of whomunculous…
The above was the opening line of a satirical email forward I received a few years ago (remember those?! “You have received this email from your mother’s friend who somehow got a hold of your email and you now have to send it to more people [...]

This week’s guest post is by Just Jinny over at  A Real Girl in the Real World.

“Welcome to the real world she said to me,” is my mother’s favorite retort to my hemming and hawing about my life and the suckiness of paying bills and making decisions and being a Contributing Member to Society.
She never remembers that the very next word of that song is “condescendingly.”
Sigh.
But this is not about [...]

(Hello everybody! I received this post from someone who wished to remain anonymous. I think it’s such a revealing look at the struggles I know many people faced- or are still facing. Though we all wish politics would unite us, it’s sometimes far more difficult than we can imagine. Enjoy this thought provoking submission and [...]

I like to think of myself as still being in that “young and stupid” phase - someone who’s likely to lose a perfectly good Sunday to a perfectly wretched hangover, who blasts Top 40 music and [...]
