Handling Difficult Roommate Situations
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? I think it’s a right of passage into adulthood that you must, at one point or another, find yourself in a difficult situation with a roommate.

Top Birth Control Methods for the Female Traveler
Let me be the first to say that I love babies. And (most) kids. That being said, I do NOT want any at this stage in my life. I’m a recent college grad looking to get in some life experience, travel, adventure, and money in the bank before I consider reproducing. That and a good […]
