I’m a young mom who used to work from home. Recently, I’ve taken a pay cut and my husband’s job cut his hours down. I’m worried about what I’m going to be getting my family members (especially my kids) this Christmas. How do I get them to understand what’s happening? What should I do to keep Christmas the way it always has been?
My boyfriend has been bugging me about going on birth control so he can stop wearing condoms when we have sex. He says that every time he puts a condom on it turns him off. I’ve been thinking about doing it, but I just can’t get past the fact that I’m putting chemicals in my body and risking weight gain and emotional roller coasters. We’ve been trying just having sex until we absolutely have to put the condom on but that just feels unsafe.
I am kind of a superficial guy--every chance I get, I check girls out. I love looking at girls. However, I recently started having feelings for one girl, let's call her, Mediocre Mary. As her name implies, she is not so cute, but her personality is bomb. I don't know what to do, and while this may seem like an easy answer, looks are a huge deal to me. What can I do to maybe see her differently or get over her?
I have a mad crush on a guy who was in one of my classes. He's everything I want in someone because he's funny, he's got a great personality, and he has got a booty! I'm a booty kind a guy and trust me, this guy's bootylicious. So we talk and we've gone out for a couple drinks and we've kissed and he's great and we'll flirt and we'll have lunch dates and so on and so forth.
BUT! He's got an ex....

I was a firm believer of the “match-made-in-heaven” theory. After watching a cornucopia of fairy-tale inspired movies, I’ve rejected that theory. You aren’t magically bestowed with a Babylon candle that will suddenly take you to the ruins of a fallen star. You can’t just randomly fall in love with that star and end up getting married.
It’s not really that weird to fall in love with a serial killer…right?
I mean, I watch “Dexter” like it’s my job and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen just about every single “Law and Order, SVU” ever made at least twice. I’ve seen “American Psycho” upwards of 10 times and every time I finish, I fall deeper and deeper in love with Christian Bale.
Life at UC Irvine is rough without a car — especially if you’re just starting out as a freshman living in a dorm. Compound that with trying to get a handle on the real-life dating world and you’ve got a picture-perfect dilemma on your hands.
