23 random realizations by age 23

*Opinion* In case we’re not friends in real life or on Facebook, you may not have known my birthday was on April 5. I am now 23. I happily accepted 23 with the same excitement I gave 21, 18 and 16. Though my good friend Mike, whose birthday was a week after mine, said he … Continue reading

Going with your gut

*Opinion* He knew he made the right decision. He thought she was hot and they had their good times in those three years together but after he found out she was cheating, he got a bad taste in his mouth and a sharp pain in his chest. He ended it and felt pretty good about … Continue reading

Wisdom

*Opinion* After my New Year’s weekend celebration I found myself sitting upright in a dentist office waiting for my six-month cleaning to commence.

The Adult Toy Party Experience

Most of the vibrators looked harmless. Some had beads in the shafts and some had birds, dolphins or rabbits on the sides of them for some clit stimulating. But when she pulled out the $144 “Endless Pleasure,” I almost ran screaming. This beast was huge…I mean it was a monster. With a hummingbird on the side of it, this guy had a thrusting shaft and everything. It could either give a girl the orgasm of her life or send her to the hospital for ripping her a new one. Literally.

Icebreakers and deal breakers

Menstruation!!!!! =0

*Opinion* There I was… 15 and on my period. I took a trip to the ladies room to change my pad. When I came back to my desk the boy who sat next to me, Josh, decided to tamper with my things. He took a brand new pad out of its wrapping and placed it on … Continue reading

Speeding tickets and beating the system

*Opinion* In movies women have played “naive” and “sexy” to get out of speeding tickets, or any ticket. I always thought I would cry and the officer would feel so bad for me he or she would let me go. I never thought to try showing cleavage to get out of a ticket; then again … Continue reading
