Final chapter in Samanthropology

Well, the end is here. The Fridays of picking up the paper and seeing my beautiful face are over. We both couldn’t be happier. As I sat to write this — the final column — I hit a wall. Throughout the past five semesters I’ve covered everything from masturbation to threesomes. Frantically Googling my pants [...]

How long before you seal the deal?

The big moment is here. Maybe you’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. Maybe just a few days. It’s date night with the guy you really like and you’re nervous. I’ve noticed that dating in college exponentially differs from dating in high school. For one, the guys have cars. For two, sex is a [...]

Get tested and avoid the inevitable

Dear Herpes, I love you. I love your little below-the-belt blisters that burn and remind me how awesome I am. When my friends invite me to hang poolside, I’m excited. Not because I enjoy soaking up rays or knocking back a few well-deserved cocktails. I love how the sun exposure will surely cause an outbreak [...]

Save money as you shop

I spent $89.43 on groceries last week. “Groceries” include trash bags, dish soap and other apartment necessities. The sad thing about my total is it should have been a lot higher — I clipped coupons. Using coupons is no new concept, but few college students take advantage of the savings. The best coupon selection is [...]

Don’t be so quick to drop bad boys

He sleeps with anything that breathes. He lies his way into your pants. He’s a slut — someone you’d be stupid to date. Well, maybe not. While spending a few days bedridden with the sniffles, I watched re-runs of my favorite television show, “How I Met Your Mother.” (Yes, I’m writing about “How I Met [...]

Meeting parents requires planning

Sit up straight. Chew with your mouth closed. Desperately recall the manners learned from your childhood. Meeting the parents is an event that can leave even the most polished person searching for Xanax. What if they don’t like you? When meeting the parentals of a significant other, it’s best to approach the situation like a [...]

Sex in the Classic City: Break-up rituals difficult for men

Ben & Jerry’s. Watching “The Holiday” repeatedly. Hour-long conversations with girlfriends. It’s easy to spot a girl dealing with a breakup. But what do guys do after a split? While watching a repeat episode of the television show “How I Met Your Mother,” I realized something — guys don’t have it as easy as girls [...]

Have a blast, but don’t be itchin’ to have too much fun on spring break

You deserve this. You’ve worked hard, pinched pennies and begged your parents to borrow their Suburban. Spring break is here and careless stranger-sex is right around the corner. I’m not going to pass judgment or wag my index in disapproval. If I hadn’t spent the majority of my spring vacations at my sister’s baby-sitting my [...]

Don’t post your sex life on Internet

Maybe Tucker Max is to blame. Perhaps the girls of “Sex and the City” are the culprits. Never mind who’s at fault or how long it’s been going on — tally groups are here, and you may be on one of them. In a conversation with my girlfriend, she mentioned the lists on Facebook where [...]

When the weather is nice, visit a park

I can feel it – spring is almost here. The temperature is rising and, as promised, I’ve begun to venture out of my down comforter cavern. Though downtown is the venue of choice for nocturnal play, there are a multitude of options for daytime activities. One thing I love about the Classic City is the opportunities for [...]
