Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
So this kid thinks college is a waste of time. Not like, so make the most of it by packing your schedule with internships. He actually thinks you shouldn’t go at all. Read his thoughts here via CNN.com. Tomorrow I’ll share mine, but feel free to throw yours in comments now.
I approached post-grad dating much like I approach shoe purchasing. I dated a bunch of guys who seemed cute at the time without really trying them on only to end up with a closet full of one-outfit wonders and callouses that could rival the Black Swan set. For me it was more about the moment than the long-term goal. It was, if the shoe is …
As you may have noticed, I didn’t write any blog posts last week – not a’ one – not even a round up of stuff from the Internet, which is my standard move when I don’t have time for real thought. There are a number of reasons for this: I’m currently producing a daily web series at work that shoots every night. Since I’m still …
If you’re anything like me you can’t be within five feet of a unpeeled banana, are furious that you’re not yet best friends with Heidi Klum, and are particularly prickly about how you’re treated when you’re in a particularly prickly mood. Luckily most people in my life are up to speed on the banana situation, I now live in L.A. and I’m not usually prone …
–> I may or may not have mentioned that two of my younger sisters followed in my footsteps by attending the Boston College. This is very wonderful because we share a the very unique experience of knowing what it is to spend four years on “The Heights” learning to be “women and men for others” educated to “set the world aflame” (read: we have the …
Something about this whole Arnold Schwarzenegger as baby-daddy ordeal struck me as strange. No, it wasn’t the fact that Arnold hid a love child from his wife of 25 years nor was it that the love child was the product of an affair with a member of his house staff. Sadly, I didn’t find all of that particularly shocking. What was strange in my admittedly …
Allow me to paint a picture for you and then explain why I think that picture is absolutely ridiculous. A guy and a girl meet, determine that they enjoy each other and begin “dating.” I say “dating” instead of dating because one or both parties might not consider it dating. There are people who don’t consider the act of joining each other in multiple, consecutive …
This topic comes courtesy of an e-mail from reader Caitlin in an unknown city and state. Caitlin writes: “What is it with the allure of an older man? Is it the idea we younger girls have that older somehow means wise? (Even when the Red Flags are flyin’ high and all signs indicate that age does not equal wisdom). What’s the deal?”Truth be told, Caitlin, …
I used to take pride in the fact that I wasn’t a crazy, obsessive, nagging girlfriend. I was a go-with-the-flow girl. The kind that lets her boyfriend be who he is, live like he wants, dress as he pleases. I’d never remove a poster from a bedroom wall or criticize the way he cooks pasta or make him wear less baggy shorts that don’t have …
Once a year the New York Times’ Modern Love column runs a contest for college students to submit their essays about love, intimacy and relationships. For the past several years the winning submissions have had something to do with “hook up culture.” Students trying to find intimacy where there generally is not or trying to defend the fact that they’re not looking for it. This …
